have you guys watched him within the past year? ya he used to do that but if youve watched him at all within the last two seasons you would know thats definately not the case
i dont know what im saying? the guy is a work horse, he just isnt good enough to be a starting goalie. i think thats why we lost 7-0 last game? I think thats partially why we are in 13th place?
yes, the bruins have tons of problems, but there is no doubt goaltending is one of them
dude thomas is 27-18-3. it isnt the defences fault completely that we're in last place but they have a large part in that. thomas faces lots of shots almost every game. you're going to say that is not the defences fault? tim is one of the best goalies in the league. anyone who knows hockey knows that. he gives the bruins a chance to take points out of almost every game. he is a clutch goalie
The bruins defense knows that its best for tim thomas to stop shots than to to either
A) get in his way of vision
B) Have the puck bounce around on them and let it go in.
In reality, its everyones fault that the bruins suck. I really blame Dave Lewis for the fact the Tim Thomas is going to be fatigued, if not already is, and... wow, so many problems.
he is not a clutch goalie. go look at how many times we lost the lead in the 3rd period. thats not clutch at all
If you look at team shots per game Tim Thomas gets about 31... 32 a game. if you look on the opposite end the team with the average least amount of shots given up per game is about 26. If you take that right down the middle, its a league average of 29 shots a game. Tim Thomas gets an average of 3 more shots a game than the league average.
He is NOT seeing THAT much more shots than other goalies
you are correct. its the quality that matters most. it is in my belief that the majority of shots are easy routine goalie saves. when you see Tim Thomas making the highlight reel its because he was well out of position and had to save his ass by making a diving save.
the other reason why there are so many shots is due to the rebounds that Tim lets out. many of them end up right back to the shooter. thats not good at all.
there IS a reason why he has played his entire career in the Minors and that he was able to be picked up by anyone at more than one point and no one took him.
After that he plays in europe where he became the best golie of the ligue and after that the Bruins offer to him a little contract and he accept for playing in NHL where he become a great goalie
He led us to where we are right now: 12th place. we should be in 5th place right now. If you want to be happy with a 12th place, then fine. but id rather have the best i can get. yes i know that Tim is the best on the bruins right now and he is what we have, but that does not mean that he is not mediocre goalie
The montreal canadien are better than the bruins and they are in the 10 position soo i think thats noit the fault of timmmy thomas... but thaht the bruins didnt have much talent
i wouldnt be fuckin talkin u retards-"pbruinsrock and bigboss whitney" tim thomas will be more of a goalie than u will ever be, both of you combined....
thomas doesnt suck! do you even watch him play. yeah he is out of position a lot but he still makes the saves. he comes up big in crucial situations. the reason he has a 3+ gaa is because the defense doesnt give a lot of support. thomas is one of the best in the league.
Now tell me this... Who in the past ten years has Boston had that made as many big saves at Tim... No one. Raycroft overall may have been better, but he didnt always come up big. Not to mention Boston's defense is like swiss cheese, and Thomas gets a ton of pressure. He is one helluva a goaltender, not the best, but damn good.
Wow, all of you are stupid...have you watched him play? He is constantly out of position and does not know how to close his 5-hole. He has allowed way too many 5+ goal games this year, entered the league too old, and just flops around like a fish out of water. The MVP of the Bruins is Savard - but I guess I see how you can think that from a highlight video

HockeySpirit 5 years ago
three things ill give tim thomas credit for
1) Hell of a person. really nice guy.
2) work horse. every game goes out there and works hard
3) one of the best there is in the shoot out.
that being said, he is still not good enough to be a starting goalie. im fine with him as backup but this bruins team needs better.
pbruinsrock 5 years ago
he's making the saves and that's all that matters... he's got the lowest goals against average in the league

you want to tell me its the defense's fault we are in last place and tim get so many shots against him.
remember this:
Brodeur has the most shots seen in the league. and are you going to tell me that it because the Devil's defense sucks? im sorry...

That's irrelvant. He now is a top goaltender for the Bruins, and is the reason they are even in the mix for the playoffs.
