Full Term Injured Reserve

All everyone seems to be talking about these days is injuries. Rightfully so I suppose. The Flyers are possibly going to have 2 to 3 legitimate Phantoms and 2 defenseman in their lineup at forward tonight. So many of the Flyers injuries seem to be similar, and thankfully none of them seem to be that serious. A couple weeks here, day-to-day there. The kind of stuff a team can persevere through. However, there have been some injuries over the Flyers 31 years as an NHL club that have been slightly more serious than an abdominal pull, and in fact, ended that player's career. Let's take a look:

1. Bernie Parent - During the 1978-79 season Parent, much like former Flyer tryout Bryan Berard, was the victim of a high stick in a game against the Rangers. Unlike Berard, however, the injury sustained forced Parent into early retirement. And he's been standing in the lobby of the Wachovia Center ever since.

2. Keith Primeau - 9 Games into the 2005-06 season Primeau was a victim of a late hit by that dirty Russian, Alexander Perezhogin. The concussion that resulted has had lasting effects to this day, and resulted in the premature retirement of the Flyers third longest tenured captain.

3. Pelle Lindberg - on November 10, 1985 Lindberg was injured when he got hammered (.24) and drove his car into a wall. He was never able to recover, and remains dead to this day.

4. Barry Ashbee - The fucking Rangers. In April of 1974 Ashbee was hit in the eye with a shot in a game against the Blue Shirts and was forced into early retirement.

5. Dmitri Tertyshny - This guy was a big mobile Russian defenseman who after a successful rookie season with the Flyers suffered a career ending injury when his head was chopped off by a boat propeller.

These are the five I can think of off the top of my head (too soon?). Are they the only five career ending injuries in Flyers history? Would you put Peter Forsberg's ankle at the top of the list?
