Kimmo Timonen Will (Most Likely) Come Back This Season
It’s gotta be the hair, Cotton…
GM Ron Hextall hinted yesterday positive news coming on Timonen. Berube said pre-game to reporters he will return this season

Now obviously I won’t 100% believe this until it comes out of Hexy’s mouth and we actually see Kimmo on the ice. I can’t trust anything Berube says because he has the competence of a bicycle with triangles for wheels. But assuming this news is true, this is fantastic to hear. If you’re a buffoon and don’t recall, Kimmo Timonen has been sidelined all season long so far due to blood clots. Pretty scary stuff and it sucked to think that this would be the end of his career. Kimmo is good people and he’s been a great Flyer the past 7-8 years. So to hear some positive news about his health is one of the very few things you can be excited about this Flyers season.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it at least 16 or 17 times. The Philadelphia Flyers are the best worst team in the NHL and that sucks. They win a game, they lose a game, they win 5 games in a row, they lose 5 games in a row. They’re too hot for ugly people but too ugly for hot people. They’ll teeter the line of mediocrity all season long and end up out of the playoffs with a shit draft pick. So at this point, I don’t even give a shit. Who knows how impactful Kimmo will be whenever he ends up returning to the ice. But all I really care about is just being able to see 44 in action again. There’s some salary shit that’s gonna have to be moved around that I know literally nothing about but I just hope that means the Flyers have to trade Coburn away to make room for Timonen. Also, they can just let Colaiacovo go so he can become the least memorable Flyer of all time. Either way, if you’re a Flyers fan, this is great news. I dare you to find one person who has a single bad word to say about Kimmo Timonen.
Sidenote: Flyers beat the Jets last night 5-2. We’ve got Wing Bowl obligations to attend today so there won’t be a recap, but the Flyers remain undefeated since the All Star Game. Just sayin’.
