Tim Panaccio: Timonen Rips Flyers after Loss to NYR

Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen didn't hold back after Saturday's 5-2 defrocking of the Flyers by the Rangers. That's five, straight Rangers wins against the Flyers this season. He talked about the lack of effort and lack of compete. His rant began with my simple question as to whether this game was really all about the Flyers unable to compete with the Rangers...

Frustrated Flyers struggle vs. Rangers

A lone female New York Rangers fan declared the obvious in a near-silent Well Fargo Center, at least before the jeers that followed as regulation ticked down. "You can't beat us," she screamed, a refrain carried over from a game at Madison Square Garden earlier in the week. No, the Philadelphia Flyers can't. Saturday's 5-2 loss sealed by, among other things...

Flyers' Kimmo Timonen laid out by referee

The Washington Capitals needed any help they could get on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Trailing 5-0 late in the third period, they got it from an on-ice official. Referee Stephen Walkom tried to jump out of the way of the action after stopping to collect a broken stick but wasn't quick enough. Instead, he ended up checking Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen and...

When Will Kimmo Timonen Get The Credit He Deserves?

The Philadelphia Flyers have one of the National Hockey League’s most underrated defenseman on their team. Every year when the Norris Trophy candidates are announced for the league’s best defenseman, Kimmo Timonen’s name is never on that list. Timonen isn’t a flashy offensive defenseman but rather a stay-at-home defenseman, who can move the puck up the ice [...]

Kimmo Timonen Takes a Huge Hit From the Referee (Video)

The Flyers torched the Capitals last night 5-1. Apparently the referee felt like they were running up the score, because he laid one of the bigger hits of the night on Flyer Kimmo Timonen. He jumped up in the air and threw an elbow to the face of Kimmo. Probably would have caught a fine and suspension if he was in the NFL. Like this post? Check out our Home Page for...

Niitty, who was the MVP of the 2006 games in Torino, where Finland won silver, was on the bench backing up Nik...

Referee Stephen Walkom Crushes Flyers’ Kimmo Timonen With Huge Bodycheck

Pretty sure Philly defensman Kimmo Timonen wasn’t expecting to get laid out like that at the hands of referee Stephen Walkom late in the third period of his team’s 5-1 win over the Caps. I mean, he’s just trying to work the puck behind the Washington net when boom, he gets leveled by Walkom’s flying bodycheck, that was probably more embarrassing than devastating...

Tim Panaccio: Sit Timonen Another Game?

That the Flyers didn't have another Friday Night Massacre where they announced bad news late into the evening was a relief, as it pertained to defenseman Kimmo Timonen. That there was nothing to announce tells us that x-rays/MRIs were negative on the left hand injury he suffered during the Winter Classic.. We thought something happened in the first period against Chicago...

Referee drops Kimmo Timonen with big body check

Check out NHL ref Stephen Walkom lay the lumber on Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen during last night's Flyers- Capitals game in Washington. Not exactly sure what game the commentator was watching but this was not even close to being a "clean hit." Walkom clearly left his feet and delivered the hit up high. If Brendan Shanahan doesn't throw the book at this guy and...
