Kimmo Timonen will play more minutes for Blackhawks if needed
Kimmo Timonen talked about how he felt through the Blackhawks’ final few games against the Minnesota Wild.
His minutes fluctuated during the second-round series, the defenseman playing anywhere from six to 11 minutes. If the lower tally was frustrating, Timonen wasn’t showing it.
“When it comes to the ice time it’s out of my hands. If that’s the role they want me to be in, I do it,” Timonen said. “I always have to remind myself, ‘If I get six minutes, 12 minutes, that’s more than I was supposed to get anyway. That’s more than I hoped.’”
