Umberger Traded

June 20, 2008

Flyers traded R.J. Umberger and a 4th round pick to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Columbus's 1st round 19th pick and 3rd round pick.

Would liked to have seen him stay but the salary cap made it difficult.

The pick turns out to be defenseman Luca Sbisa of the WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes. Flyers need some depth in defense, ya.

34 seconds away from a Stanley Cup. I had to laugh, though it was wryly, ruefully, when that happened -- the Red Wings pulling a Flyers and blowing it -- spectacularly -- in the last minute of the game. After the second overtime, my eyes couldn't stay open any longer, and I knew, somehow, deep down, that the NHL wasn't going to allow the Red Wings to clinch the Cup that night -- so I went to bed, knowing that when I woke up, I wasn't going to have missed a celebration in Detroit.

Sami Kapanen retires from the FLyers and NHL

June 4, 2008

Sad to see Sami go.
Now if we can just transfer Sami's hard working, hard playing, team first ethics to Briere. Both players are literally the same size. Besides heart, there is no reason he cant play with the same intensity as Sami always did.

Once the Red Wings get going, they are a pleasure of hockey to watch.
