[Cobiemonster]

Get well Kimmo!

Is this the end?

 

[awaz]

that really sucks. feel bad for the guy.

Brian Vickers in NASCAR had the same condition and they took Vickers out of the race car for a year and half. Kimmo may have to end his career a year earlier than he planned but we shall see.

 

[Cobiemonster]

I think this is the end for Kimmo - I don't think he's going to risk trying to come back for one more year for this type of stuff

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Get well Timmo! Scary stuff.

 

[lasgop8]

Good luck to you Timmo get well soon.

I would actually like that, even if Kimmo didn't have the blood clots

Yeah I have wanted him as a reclamation project since Nashville let him walk.

It sucks that Kimmo is gone and MDZ won't be able to replace him defensively, but I don't think the loss of Kimmo will hurt as bad as it may appear to.

I'm not typically a 'sky is falling' type of guy.. but I think no timonen, and no reasonable replacement for him, would put the flyers in the bottom 10 of the NHL.

thought this was sarcastic at first, did not realize ek actually has that up.

disregarding ek's propensity for inaccurate information, I would support that signing.

I still think it has hurt our playoff chances, and I could see us falling into the bottom 10, but I'd say we can still be a wild card team without him.

Grossmann can hopefully bounce back from his abomination of a season last year and a young guy (Ghost, Hagg, Alt, or maybe even MDZ) could pleasantly surprise us.

I dno, I'm very concerned. Not only was Timonen the best of the defense, I think he made Coburn a viable #2 (not world beater, but viable). Without Timonen, can Coburn step up and anchor the top pair? Scary.

That's where we disagree. I got pretty fed up with Kimmo at times last year (That can be said for any if our defensemen, though) and thought he took a good step back. Nobody will be able to replace him immediately, but to me he just isn't a massive player to be replaced at this point. He hurts to loss, but I don't think all hope is lost.

interesting. I'm surprised to hear you say that. But it's looking like we're going to find out which is the case!

Well if we do fall off this is the draft to do it.

Get well, Timmo. Enjoyed your time here. Put yourself and your family first at this stage of life.
