The Bruins

[pops02]

There is a great read on espn.com on Don Cherry. The TEAM has been playing good the past couple of weeks, they all seem to to be skating hard, forcheck real good, and even backcheck...lol....that takes alot of pressure off the D, and the goalies....sok, do you think Thomas in a bona fide #1 in this league ? Just curious.

I think he finally realized he needs to stay close to the net. everytime he wanders or flops too far from the crease he gets himself in trouble. I wasn't around last week but I did see the highlight when he passed the puck to a player on toronto and then dove in front of the net. he has been staying upright and for him thats the key. As far as a #1 in the league ..I don't think so. he just happens to be our #1. hopefully he continues to play well, its much easier to watch when he's not flopping around like a bluefish.

Right now. This week, yup. Next week maybe no.
Thomas works for the time being.
Maybe not Hall of Fame.
Until he blows another one, really bad, keep him in net.
See what happens. What's the alternative?
Toivenen? Good goalie. Injures way to easily for the NHL.
Finley? He lasted what 1 period the other night?
