I do feel bad for the fans of Vancouver. Their team was good enough to win but they ran into one of the greatest playoff goalie performances of all time - Tim Thomas.
Come Christmas time this year you'll see that picture of him making that stick save against Tampa for sale everywhere in New England.
I had a materal uncle who was a devoted Bruins fan, who has been decesed for a number of years. He would have been so very happy tonight.
I feel bad also for the fans of Vancouver and the Canunks are a very good team, but the Bruins brought their A++++ game tonight.
“greatest playoff goalie performances of all time - Tim Thomas.”
Let me say “Ken Dryden.” 1970 and 1971 were ruled by Ken Dryden. His team was fair... maybe good, but not good enough. He was amazing. Thomas was very good, approaching a Dryden-like performance.
