The way this dude could go post to post was insane. I've never seen a goalie who made shooters more uncomfortable than Thomas. He was so aggressive it actually looked like shooters were on the defensive. It didn't last long, but at his peak he was the best goalie I've seen.
Honestly never was a fan of Tim Thomas. But boy could he go from fully sprawled out and back up for the next shot faster that any other goalie. Hands down the the most clutch goalie of his time. Respect.
Been watching goalies since Ken Dryden. Never seen anything like the stoning after cold stoning that Thomas put on for that Cup a few years back. He read their minds.
@@stevilknevil107 you took all that away from my comment? and then decide to spend the time to reply to it... Not sure how hypocritical that is or if you're just having a day. All I meant was he was a great goalie and I wish we could've gotten more of it. Hope you're okay dude.
Wow do I miss Thomas. Tuukka is so infuriating. People that like him point to his overall numbers but he is notorious for giving up the soft goal at the worst times. Timmy is a battler...you can see the effort he puts forth. Tuukka just glides around calmly because he's "positionally sound" and if he gets beat so what, he was in position. Give me an aggressive goalie any day. I always say when comparing Rask and TT...the game could be 4-4 but when the team needs that huge save it's Timmy that's making it, not tuukka. Tuukka almost won me over last year...but he keeps showing his true colors.
favourite of all time, I miss watching the unstoppable Thomas play alongside Chara. My Dad was a Montreal fan so it means a lot that I fell in love with Boston if you care about this shit at all.
