idahophilly Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Guy can't buy luck. I hope it ends well for his dad but that's a tough diagnosis... Simon should just bow out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Monet Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 By far my favorite flyer of the post lindros era. Should have never left the flyers and I blame poor management that.... Duh!!! What a great 2-way player. Imagine him on the left wing of g and v?Best wishes gags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 @radoran *If* it is indeed the end, thanks for the memories Simon!! He went out the same he came in, with class. Perhaps he comes back for the playoffs, never know...I'm sure the Bruins would welcome him back with open arms....you can do a lot worse than somebody like Gags, with the wealth of playoff experience he brings to the table.

He's not sick. His dad is. I can understand him wanting to take some time off to go be with his family in this situation - especially during the holiday season - but I don't see where this has to keep him out of the lineup for the remainder of the hockey season. If I'm his dad, I'm telling him to get back out there and live his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nORRis8 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 No big loss. Feel sorry for the guy thoughas as I've been thru the same ordeal.Nonetheless.... it would be good to turn that 4th line into a more youth oriented line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Knut Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 yeah, I agree. He's logging minimal minutes, and isn't putting up huge numbers, but I'll take him over Umberger or VLC any day right now. Unless the Bruins tell him hey don't want him anymore, which they could have done at any point so far this year, I see no reason Gags doesn't play later in the year. What Homer did to Gags last year was awful and shameful. He should still be a flyer. So should Jagr and Carle, but I digress. If the Bruins think he can contribute, he'll come back and play. He worked too hard for that spot. Hell if he never plays again and if the Bruins want to trade his rights for Vinny or someone, they can be my guest! Gagne is what Flyers hockey should be. Homer is the embarrassment that symbolizes what it has been instead. Why?People have been writing Gagne's hockey epitaph for five years now.

radoran Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 So is RJ Umberger True, but Gagne had to earn his way onto a team this season. Rather than being saved from being bought out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihabs1993 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Such a sad story. Tough spot for Gagner but he's making the right choice. Not the way any player wants their career to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
