Hot Thomas = Hot Bruins
Tim Thomas. Five starts, four wins, each one with him only surrendering one goal. In his only loss, he let in an astonishing two goals. What that translates to is the Bruins being tied for the 3rd most points (12) in the Eastern Conference as of this writing with only the even hotter Sens and Hurricanes ahead of them.
Performances like that almost make me forget Monday’s blowout loss to the Habs. Almost. Losses to the Canadiens always fester.
This has to mean that, much like Toivonen last year, Manny Fernandez must be close to having his portion of the time share greatly reduced. At this point, it’s simple math. In four games, Fernandez is sporting a porous 3.93 GAA and an .832 SV%. With tonight’s game, Thomas now has a sparkling 1.20 GAA and a .962 SV%. To me, it’s a no-brainer who should start Saturday’s game against the Atlantic Division leading Flyers.
Also of note, Kessel potted goals #4 and #5 tonight, putting him ahead of Marco Sturm and Chucky K for the team lead.
