Why did I have to jinx the Flyers' health?
In the last post, I wrote that the Flyers usually lose defensemen to injury just as they get close to the finals and here's the first injury.
Kimmo Timonen, the top defender on the Flyers, is out for the rest of the playoffs with a blood clot in his leg. Timonen was the team's best chance to stop Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Let's hope that Ryan Parent quickly turns into the shutdown defenseman that he is projected to be!
