If it wasn't Danny Briere this would be a story but Briere stint in Philly has been the story of his career. Briere came into Philly with extremly high expectations after leaving a Buffalo team that had destroyed the Flyers post season dreams just three months earlier.
At first Briere had trouble finding his game, similar to the beginning of his NHL career where he spent time in the AHL refining his game. However, the rookie-looking veteran found his game and has blossomed into a top notch offenseman in the NHL, as evident by being awarded to the NHL All Star game this season.
Flyers fans, especially the female demographic, hope that Briere will complete the final four years of this contract and be back to complete his career in the orange and black.
