Now, anybody who watched even a little bit of the Flyers' 05-06 season knows they had problems with injuries. Look at this list off the top of my head of players who missed time with injuries: Forsberg, Primeau, Gagne, Johnsson, Desjardins, Pitkanen, Kapanen, Handzus, Esche, Therien, Nedved. That's almost half the team, and almost all of the non-rookies! And that's not even including the guys who played through injuries. For those keeping track, Mike Knuble was the lone Flyer to play all 82 games.
Furthermore, seven players have had surgery since Flyers were eliminated from the playoffs. And that's not including three guys who still need to be operated on for various reasons.
But just in case that wasn't enough, now there's this:

You know you have bad luck with injuries when your best player is already out for the first half of the season before the last season has even finished. Come on! This is getting ridiculous.
