Looks like my pick of Flyers West in 7 probably won't being coming to fruition now, but you never know. The Kings played their best game of the series yet last night, blanking the Devils 4-0. Our old friend Jeff Carter made some noise with 1 goal last night, but he isn't the former Flyer this post is about. The Flyers no.1 overall pick in 1998, Simon Gagne, returned last night for his first game since suffering a concussion on December 26. He may have only got 6:39 of ice time and had 3 shots on goal, but the important thing is that he played. So now when that Stanley Cup trophy gets engraved when the Kings (presumably) win it, he'll get his name on there. Couldn't have happened to a classier guy. Gagne played his heart out in Philly, so it would be great to see him achieve every player's ultimate goal. It still amuses me that some people seem to think there is a bitter vendetta most Flyers fans have against Carter, Richards and the Kings. I'm excited for this series to wrap up. Go Flyers West!
Note: Did anyone catch the giant Jersey Shore castmember heads that LA fans were holding up behind the Devil's bench? Priceless.
