When I was about 15, My mom let me cut school. My birthday is on December 20th, and so she let me cut school a day before x-mas break to do my x-mas shopping. After getting gifts for everyone (my brother got socks, Muaha!) We went into Models to get some more hockey sticks. While there, I saw it....
Number 12- Simon Gagne
A jersey, sitting on a rack right in front of the door. My mom saw me look at it, she made me try it on, and I wore that jersey everywhere.
But now, in this salary cap day and age, The player who I loved through think and thin, is heading to Tampa. While I can understand why, It feels like I lost a friend today. I never talked with Simon, obviously, nor would I want to. I don't need to know him personally, I got enough of his personality from his game.
So, my first blog goes to you, Mr. Gagne. Thank you for the great years, and I hope your only on a years vacation from Philadelphia Hockey.
i feel as a flyer fan, that i just got kicked in the nuts!!! Gagne was a class act and will be missed! I really dont know what the hell Holmgren is doing. How many more dman do we need? there better be another move in the works.
Bad move unless you get that goalie you really need. As a Penguin fan Gagne was a rarity, a player on the Flyers I actually liked.
Homer needs to be publicly flogged on Broad Street for this trade!
i dedicated my first blog to gags too. he's going to be missed.
