Found May 08, 2008 on All Things Philly Sports:
The Flyers hopes to get past the Penguins and into the Stanley Cup Finals took a huge blow today when their best defenseman, Kimmo Timonen, was diagnosed with a blood clot in his ankle, effectively ending his season. Timonen's ankle felt sore ever since he was hit by a shot during the series with the Canadiens, so he went in for an exam today and the blood clot was discovered.

    Sami "special K" Kapanen will help on defense. Though loss but we will be fine.

  • Nice post but I can't believe so few responses, I know Philadelphia fans can't be sleeping. Rocky18 is on. Philadelphia is a terrible sports town. I can't believe the comments about Philly teams but wilth no resonses. If this was New England it would be a different story.

    cant describe how mad i am about this, i feel like we have a snowballs chance now, to get this far and have such a HUGE IMPACT of an injury ruin hopes really pisses me off...say what u want, hes one guy, hes just a D man...youre crazy...he was MVP of the caps series for containing AO, played great D against an incredibly speedy canadiens team, and we really need him to shut down crosby and malkin...besides his on the ice skills, hes got a lot of heart that we WILL NEED in this series...also now we have to depend on derian hatcher...pretty sure he forgot how to skate...huge blow and im really disappointed

    Wait.. Wasn't it Boston Radio back in 2004 when the Patriots were in the Super Bowl talking about how Doug Mientkiewicz "kept' the ball from the 2004 World Series and that's all they talked about? Please.. Your Team is in the Super Bowl? And all you can talk about is a damn Game Ball from three months prior???

  • Jason2 I see that you are now back.....hummmm.....When the Flyers defeated the Caps you disappeared and then yet again when we beat Montreal.......it seems you only show up to bark off negative comments at Philadelphia when they are losing......I guess that is why your name is Jason2 and not Jason1......It ain't over yet and yes.....Philadelphia is down but as in Rocky he went the distance and was still considered a winner.....whatever the outcome....this Philadelphia team is a winner and one I am very proud of.....
