That's what you get for being thin-skinned and making the Bruins take down a harmless poster.

2. That save by Tim Thomas was reeeee-diculous

and saved the game.

4. He's been doing that shit all year long.

As someone who taught the position in youth hockey, watching Thomas play makes me cringe. Like Hasek, his fundamentals were apparently taught to him by Gumby, but it works. And the guy just never gives up on the play.

5. Still got another win to get.

For the most part I think Tampa has been the better team in the series, but Thomas is the difference. The B's need to play better than they did last night.
