Happy Birthday to you too, R.J. Umberger

We capped my BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION last night with hockey and a movie.
We watched Montréal native Jeremiah Chechik's "BENNY & JOON," a 1993 romantic comedy starring Aidan Quinn as Benny, Mary Stuart Masterson as his mentally ill sister Joon and Johnny Depp (large picture) as Sam, the eccentric, Buster Keaton acolyte who profoundly changes the relationship between Joon and her overprotective brother.
There are tears and laughs in "Benny & Joon," as well as a good soundtrack.
Earlier last night, there were tears and cheers -- and even some ironic laughs -- when the visiting PHILADELPHIA FLYERS beat LES CANADIENS DE MONTRÉAL, 6-4, to advance in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
We listened to the game en Français courtesy of CKAC 730 online, while watching the game on Versus TV with the sound muted.
Le Tricolore led, 3-1, early in the second period before the game -- and their season -- slipped away.
FELLOW MAY 3 BIRTHDAY BOY R.J. UMBERGER (small picture), had two goals and an assist to lead the Flyers. I cheered for Montréal and I actually upset with Umberger for knocking the Habs out of the playoffs -- until I discovered we share the same birthday.
I guess he just celebrated his big day a little differently than I celebrated mine.
