Someone give Neil Little a call

The injuries just keep on coming for the Flyers. Goaltender Antero Niittymaki, playing for Final at the World Championships in Latvia, left the team after tearing his left groin. This after it was already announced he would need surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip. It does make one wonder what the hell he was doing playing in the first place. On a humorous sidenote, if I were Niittymaki I'd be a little concerned with the medical treatment I was getting from the Flyers after reading this quote: Flyers athletic trainer Jim McCrossin said a report from the Finnish national team medical staff showed that Niittymaki has a 4-centimeter tear of his left groin. "The good thing about it is that it is located in the mid-muscle belly area, where it is very vascular and it should heal quickly for us," McCrossin said. Let's hope McCrossin meant that the injury heals quickly for the Flyers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
