I'm sorry to do this hear... I'm not looking to sympathy, really, I just need to Fume or I'm going to flip out here at work.

I just got a call from my wife, and she told me she has cancer. She just found out and she was really broken up.

Of course I want to rush right home to be with her, but my job is so short staffed, they dont have anyone to cover the phone calls, and told me I cant go home. I am so furious because I have been saying for a year now that I need someone else to work the same shift as me, just for reasons like this. I (frank)ing hate this (frank)ing place.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear that, I really am.
Go home. Really. She needs you now more than your job. They'll deal with it.
Again, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Anaheim would most likely love to have him and would probably part with their 1st to get him.
- BiggE


If it comes down to it, and they're out at the TDL, I'd hope a more bottom-playoff team (Washington/Carolina) would take him.

I am really sorry to hear that. I pray your wife will be alright.

In the meantime, tell the bastards at work that your wife really needs you now and that they'll have figure out how to do without you for a while.

they would probably give the Flyers Sbisa back (although not sure how great that would be)

Someone posted in the Ducks thread that the Rangers offered Girardi for the the Ducks
1st and 2nd round picks plus Vatanen and Kyle Palmieri.

That is a lot for a rental Girardi.

I don't even know if I'd do Palmieri for him. No need to, from a Ducks standpoint. Next up, Flyers should offer Timonen for getzlaf and a 2nd.

I don't think Kimmo would accept a trade until the team is definitely out of it. He would, probably, be comfortable in Anaheim with Teemu and Saku.

That's a stone's throw from what the Flyers gave up for Pronger.

Vatanen and Palmieri could both turn out to be crazy good.

That'd be an asinine return for a guy that's a very good 2-3 defenseman
