A day after being absolutely trucked by Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell in Game One of the Flyers/Sabres series last night, R.J. Umberger is apparently fine. Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock says Umberger is "good to go," which is just difficult to believe after watching this:
Hockey hasn't seen a hit like that since Trent made little Wayne's head bleed. Just a straight-up shoulder to the jaw at full-speed. Ooompf. That looks like a man who's going to need help tying his shoes for a week or two.
I just don't believe that he's "fine." There's got to be at least a slight concussion. But it's the Stanley Cup Playoffs... a guy could have open-heart surgery after the first period, and insist on being back in the line-up for the third. And no coach is ever, ever, ever going to let on about an injury.
Game on, eh?
