PHILADELPHIA – For a moment or two, Kimmo Timonen wanted to play hockey again.
The retired defenseman was at the Flyers and Blackhawks’ morning skates on Wednesday, talking with his former teammates, including those with whom he won a Stanley Cup in June.
“But the reality is I’m 40 years old. I just had a glass of red wine,” Timonen said to laughs a few hours later. “I can’t really turn that down anymore.”
Timonen took one more turn on the Wells Fargo Center ice as part of his retirement night on Wednesday, when the Flyers hosted the Blackhawks.
