If the Hab fan had any smarts, that's where he should have been aiming for.

Timonen is out indefinitely with a blood clot in his left leg. He injured it in Game 4 of the Montreal series and played through the pain in Game 5. Further tests after Game 5 revealed a blood clot. Timonen is going on blood thinners and it doesn't appear as if he will be back before the Stanley Cup finals if at all.

This is going to hurt the flyers big time...

That will be a tough loss for the flyers.

This team has come back from everything this year. From losing Gagne the whole year, Richards to a torn hamstring and many other things. They've come back in games they had no business coming back from like in Game 5 versus the Habs, like losing 3-0 to Buffalo in the first period in that one game and they came right back. Now, I've learned not to doubt these guys anymore. Yeah, losing Kimmo hurts but they still have the talent to beat the Pens. To have playoff tested guys like Smith and Hatcher, I'll take my chances. I think this team will yet again surprise the critics.

Now, I've learned not to doubt these guys anymore. Yeah, losing Mad Max hurts but they still have the talent to beat the Fliers. To have playoff tested guys like Hossa and Old Gary, I'll take my chances. I think this team will yet again surprise the Fliers.

fixed for you, a secret penguins fan!

Blood clots are a serious thing. Sucks for the Flyers. Hope Timo will be alright.

BTW nice one Paolo

Well only another 6 hours till game time. I'd have to say that both teams have surprised their critics to get this far this season. Both teams have been in the rebuilding process, and have had their share of adversity this season, and the youth of both teams. Some might say that no matter what happens, the year would be considered a success for both teams. But try to say that to either team right now, because the only way at the moment that they will consider it a success is if they are the ones hoisting Lord Stanley's cup in June.
