Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The return of Eric Lindros, the sidelined Philadelphia Flyers captain, is still uncertain because of lingering headaches. Lindros, recovering from a Grade 2 concussion, remained in Philadelphia on Tuesday while his teammates were in Buffalo for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference playoff series. On Monday, Lindros consulted by phone with his neurologist Dr. James Kelly of Chicago. "We don't know when he'll return," Flyers spokesman Zack Hill said. "He's supposed to go to Chicago when he's symptom free. And he is not symptom free." The Flyers led 3-0 going into Tuesday night's game in their best-of-7 opening-round playoff series. Last week, Lindros was cleared to ride a stationary bike. Lindros has missed 17 games, including the final 14 of the regular season. The Flyers are trying to avoid talking about Lindros, stripped of his captaincy last month for criticizing the team's medical and training staff. Lindros said the Flyers misdiagnosed the severity of his concussion. "I just coach who shows up," interim coach Craig Ramsay said. "We are not talking about it," John LeClair said. "It's something we don't want to deal with. We're playing in the playoffs now, and we're not going to deal with it." |
