Confirmed with Link: Kimmo Timonen to Hawks for 2015 2nd and 2016 2nd

[Merya]

At least the cup name discussion can stop jinxing your team now. Hopefully.

 

[Hzzz]

Do you really think you can win with Timonen?

Stanley Cup final 2010 lost
Olympic final 2006 lost
World Cup final 2004 lost
World Championships final 2001 lost
World Championships final 1999 lost
World Championships final 1998 lost

After he left Finland he has only lost his finals.

I hope he wins this time, but he has proved he can't handle the finals.

Not sure if serious.

Class act for a class act. His contribution to Blackhawks will have been jumpstarting Teräväinen's rise to being an NHL star.

Win it for Kimmo "Team"onen

 

[Blackhawks]

I think he was not that visible this game which is a good thing, but then again the whole team looked bad so maybe it was the camouflage effect?

 

[DayNah]

Outside of an Icing call I thought he played one of his better games last night.. No real turnovers (that I saw) and he had a shot on goal.

Yup, not sure if you're referring to the one that pinged off the bar but he nearly had a goal there. Decent game.

Agreed on him having one of his better games, though a shot off the post isn't a shot on goal.

Agreed. I thought the penalty against him was weak. I really do wish they would use him on the pp because he has a strong accurate shot.

You knew a penalty was coming, it was his only recourse at the time.

I actually thought he was brought in to lead the PP, too logical though.

 

[blams]

Chemo almost got his first goal yesterday....would have been cool to see. He's done, but it would be cool to get him his cup going out.

The post ****ed us yesterday.

Uh, of course he wasn't visible. He played around like one shift.

 

[Thucydides]

Timonen played around 6 minutes and he was mostly invisible besides his one scoring chance which beat the goalie but hit the crossbar. That isn't to say he played well, but at least he wasn't noticable for his awfulness the way he was in Anaheim. I hope that's his one game, and then he gets his name on the cup.

 

[crazyhawk]

i would keep playing Timonen and up his minutes to boot to around 10
It's foolish to only play guys like Timo and TVR 5 minutes because if you need them later in the game they are cold and the opposite of confident.
There is also the wearing down of the top 4 … Keith looked tired to me for the first time after the game last night during his interview with Pierre.
Either play Timo more or bring in Pokka or whoever but give them at least 10 minutes!!

I always thought that odd pronounciation would jinx Kimmo's health.

 

[Cyber]

Agreed. I thought the penalty against him was weak. I really do wish they would use him on the pp because he has a strong accurate shot.

I've always hated that NHL refs can't seem to get a handle on players clamping their arm down on a harmless stick to draw the hook.

Drives me nuts.

 

[Bubba88]

Hossa was a loser before 2010 in every major championship event he took part in

not Major, but he has won the Memorial Cup and other than 08 and 09 he never was with a Team that could win the Cup

 

[Panzerspitze]

No, quenneville rather dress TvR for those 15-min bench-warming shifts

[Hawkaholic]

Yes, give the guys that will hurt you the most, more ice time! Sounds like a great idea.

:laugh2:

I'm just glad someone caught that

 

[CptnSerious]

Man, how amazing would it be to see Kimmo lift that Cup tomorrow night?

 

[Hawksfan2828]

I've been watching hockey for 30+ years and I've never seen a player as done as Timo lol.

Why did Bowman have to give up (2) 2nd round picks for him anyway? It had to have been his offer because he could have been had for a 7th IMO.

 

[Gootie]

Man, how amazing would it be to see Kimmo lift that Cup tomorrow night?

Probably won't happen given veteran hierarchy, but I think it would be neat to see Toews to Kimmo to Teuvo. That being said I don't give a damn what happens as long as we win.

‏â€Kimmo [Timonen] is so excited that I have to calm him down.â€

-Teuvo Teravainen, haha. #Blackhawks.

Timonen has been mentoring TT a lot, and he has been honest with him which I like. He knows and has told TT that he can be a real star in the league but that means no golfing this offseason or in the near future(has lots of training to do)

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Since Timmo came into the fold, TT has hit another gear. Yea, it may be spurious, but I'm willing to believe that Timmo had a lot to do with Teuvo unleashing his talent so quickly and on the highest stage.

 

[CallMeShaft]

I hate what we gave up for him and would rather have seen us add a more competent defensemen (Petry or Zidlicky); but if we do win this series, I will love seeing Timonen hoist the cup. Great guy.
