There's not much to say about last night's effort by the Flyers other than it was an unmitigated disaster.
Now, time to move on. I think we will have a better sense of what to expect this season based on the team's response to that 7-1 slaughter.
Coach Hakstol hasn't been called one of the brightest minds in hockey for nothing. Let's see how he gets his new team to rebound at the home opener Monday night.
I hope the Flyers pick up momentum at the Wells Fargo Center tomorrow and carry it into Kimmo's retirement night on Wednesday. Bold prediction: the Orange and Black get back to back wins against the Panthers and the Hawks.
Then, game 2 would seem like nothing more than a blip on the radar.
Some numerology in honor of Kimmo Timonen's return to Philadelphia tonight:
Kimmo celebrated his 40th birthday a week ago. I used his birth date to calculate his life path number. Your life path "is the road you are traveling." He is a 7, based on a 34.
So where is Kimmo going? Apparently, his life path is devoted to "finding the answers to the mysteries of life." Obviously! Hockey's ultimate prize has eluded him throughout his career and his recent move to Chicago (sob) was motivated by his singular desire to have his name engraved on Lord Stanley's Cup.
Kimmo is also "a warrior." Tell us something we don't know:

Finally, Kimmo will only get better with age, as he will "radiate refinement and wisdom." I dare say he already does:

He might not be number 44 ("a visionary" with "great potential") for the Flyers anymore, but he will always have a place in the hearts of the fans who bleed orange and black.
