Berube mentioned that hes sticking Umberger at LW on the first-line because he has size in the corner, which implies Umberger can break the puck loose when the Flyers get the pucks deep in the corners. Know who else has size? Melissa McCarthy, but she shouldnt be assigned first-line duties, and neither should RJ. I am not Rinaldos biggest supporter, but I admit he has remained pretty disciplined this season and has contributed offensively from the bottom combination regularly. What cannot be questioned is his speed; he has lots of it. If Chief insists on not promoting Bellemare to LW1 in Girouxs absence (which only seems sensible to a schmuck like me), and he remains adamant on corner presence, then perhaps Schenn & Voracek could benefit from Exhibit A? (link below) Crazy? Yes. But sos expecting Umberger to contribute to the possession game. If were going balls out, then hang the whole bag in the wind. video.nhl/videocenter/console?id=2014010086-331-h
