Kimmo, Draft Prospects, Off-Season Notes

KIMMOOOOOOO!! Nothing made me more happier on Monday night than watching Kimmo graciously lift the cup over his head in absolute euphoria. The thing he's been working for his entire life which had eluded him up until now is finally his. He can finally call himself a champion. After a wonderful career in which he was a 5 time all-star (probably would have been a 6th if there was no lockout) along with 8 seasons of 40+ points, which is a remarkable feat for a defenseman who played in his own end just as well as anybody in the league in his prime. He will without a doubt be a future Flyers hall of famer and it's been an absolute pleasure to watch him play 7 seasons in the orange and black. It's still so disheartening to think what could have been if Pronger wasn't hurt in his 2nd season with the Flyers and then of course never took that high stick in his 3rd season that ended up being his ultimate demise. A defense anchored by Timonen & Pronger (which were only together fully for the 2010 cup run) for the last 4-5 seasons could've maybe finally ended the cup drought.
