Grape Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 IMO he only left because he didn't want to go to Columbus in the Rick Nash deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe_in_blue17 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 LOL if he thinks he can take the full year off and come back the season after and still be in high demand, or be the same goalie he was as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 And Boston gets stuck with his $5 mil cap hit on the books. Hilarious! He'd be doing them a favour by retiring. Maybe the team will suspend him to get off of the hook. / And Lou's relative value just went up a nudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklasjensen46 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thomas sounds like such a head case, but i guess that goalies for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Actually, I don't think he counts against the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 He does, Peter Chiarelli said so. However, Marc Savard's LTIR will cover most of the cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gran Turismo Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 So he thinks he can sit out one year, come back and remain competitive at the age of 40? And he says he wants to be on Team USA in 2014. Might as well consider this his retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It was talked about on the Hot Stove last night. SOmehting about a financial crisis coming to the USA in 2013 and there were more important concerns than playing hockey. This kinda jives with his no show at the White House as Thomas is a Republican. Unfortunately he is probably right. At least he was right about Obama.

billabong Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 thomas is the biggest idiot in the league, if he thinks he is gonna take a year off at 40 years old and come in and out battle schneider, miller and quick for the olympics...he really does live in his own little world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Remember when he couldnt do no wrong in last years PO, now the media and his own team hates him lol. That being said, anything that screws the Bruins is good in my eyes. Rest well Thomas :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Personally - I would trade him to a team looking to reach the cap floor. i.e. NYI Then they can suspend him and use the $5.0 million cap hit to get to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryBoy Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I hate to admit, he was kinda lovable after the playoffs last year, with the whole underdog story, but after learning through the White House incident and his political postings on Facebook that his mustache is not ironic, it is official. Tim Thomas is a crazy goalie. Please don't become Glenn Beck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
