dark_faerie87 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just a few minutes ago, Campbell caught Umberger with his head down and absolutely DESTROYED him! The hit was completely legal, but it's too bad it looks like Umberger could be out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I hope Umberger is OK. Yeah, not like Jagr, He's gone for a while but big deal, it's his shoulder. If you're a Buffalo fan, there's nothing wrong with saying "Unbergers gone, hahaha" But, you hope he's gone for the round due to a shoulder or groin or whatever. Not a concussion. Hit of the year so far IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRock Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Initial reports are that Umberger is out for the playoffs with a concussion, or concussion-like symptoms. This could get really ugly when it gets back to Philly. They replayed the hit on the scoreboard, apparently at least twice, once during the intermission. Really classy move.

jetsniper Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah, TSN ripped Buffalo to shreds for replaying that. Nice, solid hit but I felt bad once I saw the look on his face. You could tell he was having trouble breathing. I picked Buffalo to win but now I want Philly to win just because they decided to keep showing that hit. Esche played really well too which I think shocked everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 You might not want to do that to Mike Rathje, Derian Hatcher and especially Denis Gauthier's teammate. THis could turn into a blood bath which will favour Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Habby2919 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 You might not want to do that to Mike Rathje, Derian Hatcher and especially Denis Gauthier's teammate. THis could turn into a blood bath which will favour Philly. Among others, Brashear, Pitkanen, Stevenson..... all I can say about the hit was that it was clean... the replays werent. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_faerie87 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Aye, it's a pity about showing it on the jumbotron, but what's done is done. I have a feeling this is going to be a good series to watch, with lots of hitting and high emotion. Peters might even get a cameo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but to protect his teammates in game 2 hes gunna have to bring a baseball bat instead of a golf club. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Nice clean, legal, well-timed hit. Players know its part of the game. The guy who made the pass to Umberger is partialy to blame. Its not called a suicide pass for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Great hit, stupid to show the re play on the jumbo tron! However if this series turns into a bloodbath it will not benifit either team as both will be very tired for round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu30 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The guy who made the pass to Umberger is partialy to blame. Its not called a suicide pass for nothing. Yep, that was one ugly pass from Dimitrakos. from Urban Dictionary: 1. suicide pass Noun/Verb, pertaining to ice hockey. .. The dumbass gave me a suicide pass, and I got hit so hard my head touched my toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 This screws Buffalo really bad. Yes the hit was clean but the jumbotron stuff wasn't. The Flyers will show it, talk about it, rage about it and they will do something about it. Philly can play rougher than most teams and certainly much rougher than Buffalo. This will change the entire flow of that series from a skill game to a fight. Sabres just woke a sleeping giant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dumbass gave me a suicide pass, and I got hit so hard my head touched my toes. LOL nice definition. I remember a similar hit loooong ago on Luc Robitaille. He got a suicide pass at center ice with someone coming full speed right behind him. As soon as the puck was on Robitaille's stick, he turned around and got hit so hard his stick flew like 10 feet in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will change the entire flow of that series from a skill game to a fight. Sabres just woke a sleeping giant. I'm not so sure. If Philly tries to turn this series into a brawl I think the refs will punish them and Buffalo's powerplay, although it was impotent tonight, would bury the Flyers.
