Tim Thomas rocks Andrei Kostitsyn 1-12-09 Montreal Canadiens @ Boston Bruins

[febreezekingable]

@ReallyRandomRoska bet you wanna take that back haha he has the best GAA and tied with shutouts and still fought Carey price! Go Bruins

[ReallyRandomRoska]

Thomas is way too aggresive to be a continually successful goalie in the NHL... Im a Bruins fan, and I love Thomas's take charge attitude, but sometimes you need to let the guys that are on the ice (Chara, Thornton, Lucic) beat the people up. You need to focus on keeping the puck out of the net.

[HiggsPat]

Love Boston but thomas is becoming more and more like a jerk, always htting people.That was a dirty check.Should have been suspended.Really I think thomas is a bit like hextall , he just loose his cool and something does'nt work well inn his head.Thomas should keep his big ass in the net adn try to have technic excpet of doing the hasek style.Its not good to say thatbut thomas will get hit hard one day becaue eh try to much to get revenge and hit like a player

[marsouiccgg]

Laraque va cassé la face à Lucic!!

[drtbkeyamaha]

you sound like a total fucking moron...

[albinopimp699]

agreed

Lucic will get his in the playoffs

hes a backstabbin son of a bitch

[Oo0STR]

Thomas is a fucking tool just like Sean Avery, he should of got suspended what a peace of shit, I cant wait for the first round series, Lucic isnt gunna do anything because whenever Laraque gets on Lucic gets off like a pussy. ( remember when Laraque constantly wanted to fight him and Lucic wouldnt, so instead he went after Kostopolus?) Hes a bitch.

[bendover200749]

ok heres a question for you how many points does Laraque have in his whole NHL career compared to Lucic?

[Oo0STR]

Laraque played like 13 seasons, Im pretty sure its more then Lucic. Idiot.

[bendover200749]

ya and Lucic has only played 2 seasons and he has almost half as many points as Laraque and the reason why Lucic wont react to him is it basically gives Boston a power play every time hes on the ice.

[emexa123]

ya plus the pregame, julien specificly said he didnt want lucic to fight.

[10W7]

I love how Thomas went after him. Well worth the 2 minutes. And you wanna talk about cheap shots? How about the hit on Ward that Thomas was responding to?

[Caseyplayshockey]

agreed.

[MegaMattEXE]

while Kostitsyn should be penalized for a hit from behind, maybe suspended, thomas should be as well. that's no better than Todd Bertuzzi. Kostitsyn wasn't even looking at him and Thomas head shots him.

After this and the football lunge, thomas is the official sean avery of goalies.

[blizzl385]

thomas is the sean avery? wow you obviously dont follow hockey or you're just retarded. kostitsyn takes a cheap shot at ward, and him getting hit by thomas is a LOT less dangerous than a hit from behind. comparing him to bertuzzi? dont make me laugh...

and thomas taking out blake, if youve ever watched jason blake play, youd know he has a reputation for driving through the crease and taking the goalie out, and he has done that to thomas on more than one occasion... do you even follow hockey?

[MegaMattEXE]

lmao. wow buddy, I agreed that Kostitsyn should be penalized, you read very well. I don't defend him in that sense, but what thomas did is no better than a bertuzzi sucker punch from behind. Kostitsyn never say it coming.

for lack of better words I said it was Avery-esque.

[XxOPivyNicolexX]

"... thomas is the official sean avery of goalies. "

tim thomas is so far from beiing even a little bit like sean avery, avery is dirty player and tim thomas is definatley not.

[Johnnykerr99]

Someone Should Have 2 Handed Tim Thomas In The Face.

Has Far As Mine Concerned It Would Have Been Justifiable. Thomas Is A Punk After That Dick Move.

[Nocashstyle]

What's with capitalizing every single word in your sentence?

[Johnnykerr99]

Why does that matter?

[Nocashstyle]

It is grammatically incorrect.

[Johnnykerr99]

Ok and this has what to do with Tim Thomas being a cheapshot bitch?

[Nocashstyle]

I'm just pointing out that if you can't write an intelligent sentence you surely can't make an educated assessment of the Tim Thomas situation.

[Johnnykerr99]

Your obviously are an idiot if capitalizing the first letter of each word throw you off. The Bruins otta pick up J.C Petite & Nogoalov for there traveling circus.

[Nocashstyle]

First of all it's "you're." Secondly, I think you meant "throws." Thirdly, by "otta" do you mean "should?" Learn to proof read.

[Johnnykerr99]

Tim Thomas is 34 years old.

It's good that he's old.

[Nocashstyle]

Sorry I missed another error in your last sentence. I think you meant "their." That is a lot of mistakes for such a short sentence.

[Johnnykerr99]

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

Find some errors bitch.

[Nocashstyle]

I can copy and paste shit I find on the internet too.

[Johnnykerr99]

Then Do It and Fuck Off.

[Bosox07WSC]

nothing because he's not, what other goalie would defend his team???

[XxOPivyNicolexX]

It's also very annoying.

[JDC1189]

questionable hit but ive seen worse gotta love thomas stickin up either way and im surprised mtls goaltender didn't come down the ice would have been exciting to see a goalie fight

[blackriverbrew]

Wow... the Habs /Bruins Rivalry is back in full swing! Both teams playing Old Fashioned Balls to the Walls Hockey! Too bad Habs fans cant face the facts that this was a retaliation for a dirty dirty hit. We keep kicking the shit out there players and the poor lil habs fans get their panties in a bunch! Thomas is a top goalie , as is Manny , and we will kick yer asses in the playoffs... and Bobby Orr sheds a tear of joy! GO BRUINS !!!!

[Robkippermachine]

Go bruins GO!!! thomas rules !!!! and fuck you mtl canadien!!

[DavidM1016]

LOL @ Habs fans defending the hit. He hit a man who wasn't even looking in his direction in the back into the boards - that's not a clean hit. That's how players get seriously injured.

Oh, and to the idiots calling Thomas a "pussy" - at least Thomas waited until that pussbag Kostitsyn was standing directly in front of him, eye-to-eye before he leveled him.

I didn't see any Canadiens standing up to Thomas for the hit either.

[tylermarotta]

the only kostitsyn got a penalty was because the game was in boston it was a legal hit

[littlebigefan]

waaaaaaa,you want your bottle.just like a canadiens fan to be wining all the time.kostitsyn is a big time cheap shot artist,he just got what he deserved.oh and by the way where was your goaltender when all this was going on huh.talk about pussies.

[blizzl385]

...you obviously know nothing about hockey or clean hits, or maybe youre just retarded

[tylermarotta]

the bruins are a bunch of goons honestly it is beyond me why they are in first place the deserve nothing. thomas is the biggest prick in the game its embarrassing to watch him

[jmiller006]

sad that you're willing to award your team the stanley cup in august, then when a team other than yours is in first place halfway through the season (by a lot) you think being a little bitch will solve problems...both teams have an equal amount of injuries (i'd give the edge to the bruins in that department considering you guys hate higgins anyways) and they beat you, just like they already have 3 times this season...bite your tongue for once; you don't want the habs to fall further behind.

[blizzl385]

thomas is actually one of the most respected players in the nhl by his teammates and competitors, and forgive him for sticking up for his teammates... just shows how close the bruins are as a team, where a goalie is willing to put it on the line for his teammate... or are you just one of those retarded habs fans who thinks this is a clean hit?

[MegaMattEXE]

haha retarded habs fans? Let me first say that I'm amazed that you go to this extent to say I'm a dumbass and call me out.

I'm not a habs fan one, two I'm a sharks fan, three; I know a thing or two about goalies and letting your emotions show like that is a bad thing. you keep composure and left the d man take care of assholes like Kostitsyn.and lastly, I love how every boston fan says montreal sucks or is gay or whatever. what's the higest level of hockey you've played just out of curiosity?

[Caseyplayshockey]

I'm a Boston fan, and at this stage of my hockey career, I've played Girls Club hockey, at the national bound level. BTW, I don't think Montreal is gay, nor that they suck. I for one think they are a very good team, as are the Bruins which makes the rivalry that much better. Infact, I respect what Montreal has been able to do throughout the year. Doesn't mean I'm gonna cheer for them though. Also, why can't a goalie stick up for his teammate the same way a forward or defenseman would?

[XxOPivyNicolexX]

Being in first place is not about deserving it, they earned it.

[emexa123]

i hate the fogs. go bruins:)

[DELnation]

pardon me my ignorance,but what is a fogs?

[mastersnafu]

lol. Ward faked it. Did you see he was hurt 10 sec before because of a shot. he felt down and when he got back on his feet, he was already hurt. The hit was totally legal, no major on that. Ward Faked it, that is it. Even boston ruins players said that it wasn't like it looked like ...

[PrototypeX85]

Joke of the day: Montreal Canadiens

[DELnation]

jerk of the day: PrototypeX85

[sidovechkin887]

axevictim clearly has no knowledge of hockey whats so ever

[axevictim90]

Yeah right. I know how MEN play hockey. I played for years and learned how to deal with a POS like Kostitsyn. I know that Thomas is a pussy that hides behind his gear. A real man would drop em and duke it out. By taking that cheap shot at Kostitsyn he became as big a douche bag as Kostitsyn.

[NateGomes]

For the record:

Kostitsyn deserved that.

If you actually watched the game, you would know that he illegally boarded Aaron ward, which is something Kostitsyn and Montreal is known for when playing the Bruins.

Boston's had too many concussion injuries from that kind of cheap-ass shit, so Thomas clearly was doing the right thing - giving Montreal a taste of their own poison.

[LaOoOnGBaK]

you must be retarded

ward got up after quickly

and even the hit was clean

Chara was there, no need thomas to do the job anyway , what a pussy

[DELnation]

im a habs fan and yes,i can admit it when one of my team have done a cheapshot(like kostopoulos already did),or fake like a wussy (like ribeiro was).its been proven that ward wasnt even doin the wussy but had been hit by the puck on his knees seconds before kostitsyn hit.that kostitsyn hit was totally legal,not high elbow,no knees.

this is hockey buddy.and both of our team are giving a fucking great show.

[axevictim90]

Drop the gloves and mask and fight like a man. That was a spineless, cheap shot.

[KimmoKuopio]

Ha ha, that Tim kid is so Fat

[JTstaa04]

i love how komisarek though he was the man in this game when lucic wasn't in the line-up

[118Vail]

Timmy is the man!!  He's been in the top 3 goalies all year with his impressive stats.

Don't forget that Lucic, Ferrence, Bergeron, Sturm, Hnidy and Kessel were not playing. The Bruins won because they are the better team!

[Boylia]

Kostitsyn was probably more shocked than anything. who really expects a goalie of all players to deck you like that. :P

[Passskal]

Yeah you definitely wouldn't expect that unless the goalie's name is Ron Hextall lol!!

[vince4164]

what about Price punching nokelainen in the back last year?

[mcskittle2424]

i was at the game....nobody in the stands expected thomas to do what he did, but we were glad he did cuz that pussy kostitsyn was running away

[holestoheaven69]

he actually skated by at 3mph!! is that running away? I'm not sure! lolll

[mcskittle2424]

if we wasnt running away he woould face chara who was chasing after him, which is why thomas decked the shit outta him

[blackriverbrew]

its funny how Habs fans keep reminding us BRUINS fans about the 15 games they we lost , but now we are winning and they call us dirty. Thomas is a team player , and he was defending a tam-mate , so he had every right to drop that pussy, hitting from behind is CHEAP ! Wait til Lucic comes back , he'll put the habs where they belong , on the injured list! Remember what he did to Komaserek? Chara will raise the cup this year , youll see!!! GO BRUINS !!!!

[Akanakin]

tam-mate? more like tam-pon! lmfao

[XxOPivyNicolexX]

more like a speeling mistake, and more like your a moron.

[Csp91]

Tim Thomas is the man! He looked like he was yelling Sit down punk after the hit lol

[rapaddict22]

Nah, definitely not a habs fan by any means (although I do like Lang).. but anyways I like the Bruins a lot. They're an awesome team. I was watching the game when it happened, I saw the whole thing go down. But you said he did it in defense to another guy, but shouldn't that be between him and Ward? Not Thomas... Thomas should have stayed out of it cause it had nothing to do with him.

[rapaddict22]

its not ok to hit goalies but its ok for goalies to hit players? that is some bullllshit

[guitaristsd]

If it's a hit for hitting's sake, no, it's not OK. This was in defense of Aaron Ward.

[guitaristsd]

What you don't show here is why Thomas did it. Kostitsyn hit Aaron Ward away from the boards and from behind (typical Hab behavior), resulting in a boarding call (5 minute major). The B's have had major injuries to Bergeron & (last year) Alberts and are sick of the cheap shots so Timmy sent him a message he won't soon forget. The Bruins back each other up. I was there, we kicked their butts back to Montreal. 12 points in the lead in the East. GO BRUINS!!! WOO!!!!!!!!!!

[guitaristsd]

...and no, I'm no bandwagon jumper, I'm a B's fan through good and bad. I saw this resurgence coming 2 years ago and now am telling so many "see, I told you!"

Lord Stanley, get ready for a visit to Boston! Back where you belong!!!!

[OrlyYaRlyK]

Typical dirty Bruins player. Who does he think he is? Ron Hextall?

[Divoz2008]

he did it b/c of a hit from behind, the dirtiest hit in hockey, i guess ur just a fuckin moron tho that thinks cheap shots from behind are ok

[ViacomFailsAtLife]

HAHAHAHA excellent! It's too bad Thomas had to do it to Andrei Kostitsyn though as he isn't really a shit disturber. He should have done it to that retard Sergei Kostitsyn.

GO BRUINS HAHAH WE FUCK UP THE HABS AGAIN LOL!!

[holestoheaven69]

you win 3 times, and suddently you use the word ''again'' you seem to forget the 13 games before that, and the last 5 series! think it over!

[smerenda]

think what over Faggot? So quick we are to forget the 3 times the Bruins faced the Habs in the 90's! Dusted! One was a sweep! Even with your faggot Roy in net! Is he supposed to be the best? Coulda fooled me? He stunk againt the Mighty B's!!!Stop making Excuses and admit that we have your number this year! Face it, its the 90's all over again!! Ha HA HA B-E-W-A-R-E O-F B-E-A-R pussy habs fan!

[PKA19]

Oh dude i sure hope your wrong, like i hate montreal and everything. But if its the 90's again. that means Montreal is due to win the Stanley cup again soon, and well.... I don't think Boston won one in the 90's. Sorry to point out. But i hope your wrong its the 90's all over again lol.

[smerenda]

Its funny how the bruins licked the Habs all three times they faced in the 90's but they happen to win the cup the "ONE" time they didnt face us? I sure hope u remember what im talking about dude. (Smart ass)

[holestoheaven69]

I nerver said that the bruins sucks! I said they are a really good team you twat! what I said is that you are a cunt for saying what you said! You have habs number for the last 3 games! you should wait a little bit longer to say that bruins have habs number! the real test is in the series!! and BTW Roy is the best goalie in history of hockey, what kind of fan are you? your a disgrace to the bruins man!!! I hope other bruins fans are feeling the same way that I am!!!

[smerenda]

Dont talk tuff on the computer kid cuz i slap habs fans for fun where i come from.AND YEAH I WILL SAY WE HAVE THE HABS NUMBER,I DONT GOTTA WAIT FOR SHIT!UR FRENCH TEAM DOESNT SCARE ME IN THE LEAST!OUR TEAM IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOURS ON PAPER..LINK ME BACK IF U WANNA TALK STATS AND STANDING.I'LL BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU OK?OH YEAH PATRICK ROY?IS BRODUER NOT GONNA BREAK HIS RECOND SOON?I BELIEVE HE IS, CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG!he might have been "ONE" of the greats but he was a joke againts us!

[stanleykoolbrick3]

similar to jason varitek clobbering a-rod in the sox/yanks rivalry :D atta boy timmayyyy

[stanleykoolbrick3]

THAT'S how you take out the trash. fuck the habs, kostitsyn had that coming.

in other news... donnybrook? i'm pretty sure that word hasn't been used since the 1800's.

[holestoheaven69]

stay in your fucking net!! after that when a plyer touch him he's fucking angry! WTF that was fuckin ridiculous!!!

[guitaristsd]

What? Did you see what actually happened? The boarding on Ward? Nice language. Are you a Habs fan?

[holestoheaven69]

Ya I saw everything, their was a boarding on the play, but ward turned his back at the last second, kind of thing that happens every games! And I'm actually a big hockey fan, I hate the bruins because of the rivalry with the habs, but I can tell that they are a really good team this year, and I'd love to see them against the habs in the series, (wich probably wont happen in the first round) anyway, last game was a pretty tight game and it's too bad that the bruins took advantage of their PP!

[guitaristsd]

Yeah, I kind of want that series to happen, too. It'll be more of an even matchup than last year. Folks here in Boston are finally paying more attention. They look at me funny when I say I hate the Canadiens more than I hate the Yankees. There's always been a core group of Bruins fans who have stuck it out and now we're being rewarded. Chiarelli is a genius!

[Passskal]

I'm really happy to hear that fans are back! seriously, teams in Boston are so competitive in every sport, no wonder the fans are so demanding!! Hockey was trailing back. Glad more people will follow the bruins games again, we need to keep the rivalry alive!!!! Respect for sticking to your team even in rough times...was pretty tough here too in Montreal after Roy left...10 years wasted watching a shit team, feels good to be back on top! cheers

[holestoheaven69]

It's been even for the last 5 series, montreal-boston is not the same thing! there is something between these two teams! Boston is a great city with a nice hockey club today, but I don't have a choice, I have to hate them loll, just like you with montreal, they have an excellent team, nad montreal is one of the best, if it's not the best, hockey town! That's why people hate Montreal!

[rekm222]

Timmy Thomas is the man!! Jack Edwards needs to 'calm down' a bit. And Manny would never have stepped up for his team like that....Jim.

[blazini1]

I hate the Habs. I'm surprised Andrei Kostitsyn isn't an all-star either.

[emerilgoesbam]

It was Andrei aka Ashley, but agreed.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Sergei probably felt that one! What a DONNYBROOK!
