Why did Alex Killorn high-stick Kimmo Timonen in the first period of Game 4?

Why would anyone high-stick Timonen ever?

Timonen is 40 and bad and nearly died every time the Ducks forechecked.

If Killorn had injured Timonen, he would’ve deserved a benching for eliminating the chance that Hawks coach Joel Quenneville would play an ill-equipped defenseman.

Timonen, who surprisingly drew into the lineup for Game 4, played his eight shifts without somehow giving up a goal. He’ll undoubtedly draw into Game 5.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
