Briere in trouble again?

Panaccio is talking right now on CSN's DNL saying that Danny Briere hurt his groin in yesterday's game against the Islanders.

Video has apparently isolated an incident after his late-second-period goal when the pull could have happened.

The Flyers are saying this is not connected with his sudden return after missing six games from abdominal surgery, but generally everything in the lower body is connected in some way, specifically when a skate stride is involved.

He's also talking about Scott Hartnell's benching and the possibility that any dissention exists between the players and the coaching staff. Seems like there may be because in the Stevens quote they played back, the head coach broke out the old "you guys are making more out of it than we are..." classic beginnings of some bad rumblings behind the scenes.

Just got word that Briere is out for Thursday and there is no timetable for his return.
