Flyers GM Paul Holmgren hospitalized after bike accident

The details are a bit sketchy, but according to CSN Philly, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren has been hospitalized after falling off his bicycle on Monday.  Apparently Homer suffered broken ribs, a broken shoulder and had to get stitches.

It's unknown just how serious the injuries are to Homer, so all we can do right now is wish him the best.  He was one tough hockey player so you can bet on him getting back to work as soon as possible.

Flyers to extend Paul Holmgren for 3 more years

According to Anthony SanFillipo, Paul Holmgren is about to be rewarded for putting together one of the best teams in hockey. Later this week, the Flyers are going to extend their general manager for three more years in a contract worth 4.5 million dollars.

While Holmgren has made his fair share of questionable moves and struggles with the salary cap, you can't argue with the results on the ice. Since Homer took over for Bobby Clarke 4 years ago, the Flyers have made it to a Conference Final, the Stanley Cup Final and are poised for another deep run this year. Sure, he still doesn't value goaltending and he can't manage money, but Homer has made some great trades and kept the Flyers consistently good doing his tenure.

In Homer we trust, at least for three more years.
