Yesterday, all was well in Flyers nation. Valterri Filppula and Brandon Manning were blasted into the sun, James van Riemsdyk came back home, and we found ourselves patiently waiting for the month of August to tick by in anticipation of training camp getting underway. Well, at roughly 3:18 AM ET on this Wednesday morning, reports began surfacing that Sean Couturier, the Flyers number one center, had re-injured his right knee in an off-season exhibition game.
Bill Meltzer of HockeyBuzz.com was the first to break the story about the troubling news of Couturier’s injury.
