Timonen spoke to reporters and told them he is out of danger, will skate today and likely play game 5. Various Flyers players also are telling me that Timonen will be in the line-up.

Prior to last night's game Timonen asked to speak to his teammates because he felt the team was too uptight. Not sure that he told him that he was going to be back or not for game 5 if they won...
In all likelihood the Flyers kept this super quiet so as not to give the Pens an extra motivation to wrap it up.

Tomorrow's WCF at the Joe will not have Detroit's Johan Franzen in the lineup and he may be shelved for the Playoffs.

This afternoon I'll be back with more rumors, and at 4 pm Andy Strickland joins us to talk rumors from around the league on today's Buzzcast.
