PHILADELPHIA (AP) - February 20, 2008
The Flyers forward was told Wednesday to sit out the rest of the
year because of lingering symptoms of three concussions suffered
this season. Gagne visited a concussion specialist named James
Kelly who suggested that Gagne not try and play again this season.
"His advice to Simon was to shut it down for the remainder of
the season," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "As soon
as we have had the opportunity to speak further with Dr. Kelly and
Simon we can shed more light on this. Needless to say, we are very
disappointed with this news."
