Just as Massachusetts and twelve colonies beat back the British well over 200 years ago and earned their freedom, these Bostonians sent the British Columbians back to their homeland for the final battle and left their city in ashes. They did so against great odds and contrary to the talking heads’ predictions who fancy themselves experts. “Vancouver in 6.” “Vancouver in 5.” “Vancouver sweeps.” They were wrong.
I wrote before this series commenced, “Tim Thomas lifting the Cup would bring justice to this season.” Timothy James Thomas, Jr., known as the Tank, led his troops to victory, earned his legacy and rightful place in history.
I LOVE IT! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! THEIR TEARS TASTE SO GOOD! FUCK THE CANUCKS! CONGRATS BRUINS!
This was less about Vancouver losing and far more about Tim Thomas winning. I wanted to see a good guy win and am thrilled he did so.
… I’m happy for Thomas, sure.
As for the rest of the Bruins – not so much. It’s nearly “Ducks in ’07″ all over again.
What a deserving ConnSmyth Winner in Tim Thomas!
A Nice Guy and an amazing Goalie
Congrats to Boston
(and Thank you from all Kings’ fans)
GO KINGS GO !!!
That was a phenomenal performance by Tim Thomas. No other netminder has won 3 Game 7′s in a playoff year, and it will be a good long time before anyone does again. Thomas may well have put himself in the Hall of Fame with this performance.
