09:11 AM ET 01.22 | OK, it's a longshot -- let's say 80/20 -- that Peter Forsberg will return to the Flyers. But it's not as long as it was yesterday and, by the time the Flyers find out the medical status of Danny Briere on Thursday, the odds could become closer to 50/50. Briere will have exploratory surgery Thursday to find out why he is still having so much groin pain. The Flyers are hoping it's just scar tissue, in which case the center should be able to return in two weeks. But if it is a severe groin tear that will require an adductor release -- an injury Mike Richards suffered two years ago -- Briere could be out for six weeks. Or longer. That means he wouldn't be back until March, and there are no guarantees he would be effective if he returned this season.
