Do I hear the "Tuukka" chants off in the distance?
Yup, I sure do.
And it's quickly catching on since Tim Thomas didn't play up to his usual shutout ways against Washington Friday night.
I'm a huge Tuukka Rask fan and I did want the Bruins to trade Thomas away in the offseason, but I'm still on board with Thomas starting right now.
Maybe next week I'll change my tune when Thomas is giving up 4-5 goals a game, but right now the veteran is the right choice to start between the pipes.
I mean, Thomas has been gigantic in net. There's no denying that, either. Any team in the NHL wishes they could have ridden Thomas while he was simply white hot.
Remember when Thomas had three shutouts in his last seven starts? Oh, how quickly we forget.
Now, fans are remembering him allowing three goals in a loss to the Caps Friday night and two vs. Buffalo on Nov. 3. Shame on Timmy for letting the fans down!
Yes, fans are starting to feel that Thomas is losing his mojo. Maybe he is? But I still say don't yank him just yet.
He's earned the right to be the starter -- for now -- and he shouldn't lose that No. 1 label because he's been human in the last two starts.
