Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final has been a bumpy ride so far for Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Kimmo Timonen.
During the first period, Timonen took a hooking penalty on Valtteri Filppula, yet it was the penalty he drew that really made for a memorable visual.

Here’s one submission from Puck Daddy’s Greg Wyshynski:
I think someone just attempted a Rock Bottom.

Timonen alert. He's on the ice. Be ready.

Update: He didn’t get much time to thrive or struggle in the middle frame, either:
