Congrats Kimmo! Worked out well for all parties Flyers get a better pick too. I'm happy that he was in the lineup that was cool...

Ditto for me. It was great to watch him skate the cup. Man that was a great moment and now he gets to enjoy his career going out on the mountain top!

It was cool that they handed him the Cup second, classy job by the Hawks and funny that Timmo didn't know what to do with the cup after he hoisted it.

What a great way to begin retirement, as a Champion! Great player

All I can say is congrats and that the hockey gods blessed this man to do the unthinkable. Pretty much almost everyone thought he would have to hang up the skates because of the blood clots. I give a ton of praise to Hextall and the Flyers organization for making this dream come true for Timonen. Furthermore, the medical staff helping in his corner and making it possible for him to play again.

And the Flyers got a draft pick in the process as a thank you for sticking with Kimmo even when it looked bleak...Great return on both ends.

Ultimately, it's the type of end to a career that you dream of. To overcome that much adversity and leave it all while on top of the world. We are all proud of Kimmo and thrilled for him, without question.
