It’s rare that you see large groups of people agree on anything on the Internet, let alone when it’s related to sports. But Kimmo Timonen’s legacy in Philadelphia is something that literally all of us can agree on.
In case you doubted that, though, we got to see a fun little experiment play out on Twitter. Flyers writer Wayne Fish wrote this ….
Just two days until Kimmo Timonen returns to Philly as a Chicago Blackhawk. What’s your guess: More cheers than boos? He did ask for trade.

And the replies. My God, the replies. Not a single person is anti-Kimmo. Here are 40 total strangers who are in complete agreement about something on the Internet.
@waynefish1 no reason he should be boo’ed.

@waynefish1 anyone who’s actually spent time in Philadelphia instead of reading trite articles about Santa would know the answer

@waynefish1 I do not expect one boo. Not one. Kimmo was everything you’d want in a player on and off the ice. I expect a long standing O.

Seriously though, don’t talk shit about Kimmo Timonen in this town. It makes you look silly.
