IT'S AMAZING how the absence of one little guy can loom so large.
Amid the whining about their misuse and amid the more veiled criticisms of coach Craig Berube, the most startling theme on Flyers Locker Cleanout Day centered around a player who never played.
Which left the question to be begged: Had Kimmo Timonen played this season, would Berube's head be on the block?
Today's 2 p.m. press conference with first-year general manager Ron Hextall should reveal whether Berube's head will roll.
Should it?
No. Not considering the beer hand Berube was dealt.
