Kimmo Timonen talks about being scratched in the Stanley Cup Final, breaks your heart

Ugh.

The Chicago Blackhawks will host the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night, and yet again, defenseman Kimmo Timonen will sit in the press box as a healthy scratch.

He played 16 regular season games with the Blackhawks after being traded there at the trade deadline, and he's played 15 playoff games -- but none since the Western Conference Final. The threshold for earning your name on the Cup? 41 regular season games with the Cup-winning team, or one Stanley Cup Final game.
