2010-11, Tim Thomas delivered the greatest single goalie season I’ve ever seen. Nothing can change that.
Was on another level!
Did you have vision problems,only one name, patrick Roy 😂maybe a second one martin brodeur, did you need more or are you a newcomer in watching hockey 😂sorry if I hurt your sensibilities.
@@bench7434 Did you forget about Nagano semifinals? ;)
Loved watching him play during the Bruin years.
He was fun to watch that’s for sure
Thanks for the cup Tim !
His playoff run is legend❤
So legendary!
I got to see Tim play in one of the 2011 stanley cup games in Boston.. epic win!!. After the game i went up to some guy wearing Nordiques shirt and shook his hand then asked if he enjoyed the game.. he said " you guys just have a better goalie than us" i didnt argue with him..lol
😂
Tim Thomas is the greatest Bruins goalie in my lifetime … I love this man … 8 goals in 7 Stanley Cup Final games. He’s the greatest.
“I did not realize it was my job to pump his tires.” 😂😂
A Bruins legend for sure!
Wish we got to see Tim Thomas in the winged wheel, nothing but respect to this legend.
That woulda been cool!
Timmy played with the vipers in Detroit of the IHL, it was cool to see him play so close to home
@@goaliefightclub I used to go to them games all the time, maybe I had seen him play but don't remember. But I do remember seeing Gordie Howe playing for the Vipers!
He's the reason Bruins won the Cup in 2011.
Absolutely!
No...the team was going at it's peak level too
Nathan Horton helped with 2 series clinching goals
Michael Ryder saved his flopping ass too!
@@joeyparm9887 Of course nobody wins a cup on their own, the comment wasn't meant to be taken that literally. But Thomas was their clear MVP.
I forgot how good he was. Some amazing seasons.
I always liked Timmie; he seemed to me to be 'the perfect Bruin.' On a team defined by a strong uncompromising work ethic he seemed to stand out for his, which is no small thing. That, plus his obvious and immense talent, made me a fan despite the fact that I'm not a Bruins hockey fan at all. I wish we could have seen him sooner as well as later but I will always admire him for his accomplishments and his demeanour. Tim Thomas always struck me as the type of guy you'd want to be friends with. I wish him all the best!
Definitely a great fit for the Bruins mentality!
That 2011 season was the best we will ever see... We would not have won the cup if Rask started that playoffs
He was a beast that year!
YES! % 100 % Better Than Rask.. In Pressure Games!
Thank you bro 2011 you look great keep it going bro
Tukka spent more time on his knees than a two dollar whore
Or anyone else, to be fair to Rask. That season was highly unique and historical.
My parents had UVM Hockey season tickets at that time...got to watch some incredible players over the years and Thomas was one of them!
I know he lived in North Idaho for a little while after he retired from hockey. His kids were enrolled in a local school here. Never got to meet him, but I would have liked to shake his hand and thanked him for the great hockey we got to watch.
Nice!
Excellent story. That is an excellent telling. An important player.
Very!
i like it a lot man. Please, more of goalthendes! Keeep it up
Thanks! More tendy’s on the way - who would you like to see a story on?
Amazing performance that great season, the man
RESPECT
Big time respect !
He played for AIK in the Swedish Elite League season 2000 - 2001...
Correct
He brought the Stanley Cup to a bar in my little town of Oxford, near Davison.
Awesome!
Inspirational Man , he never gave in professionally or beliefs .
Timmy stood on his head in the finals against Vancouver and seemed to be the first goalie to finally shut Luongo up.
Timmy was the man!
"Was in a much better place mentally". . . what do you mean by that?
Away from the spotlight and media of the NHL
His sanity was questioned why--because he wouldn't meet with Obozo?? thomas is awesome
Was he a part of the flint powers high school team that Rolston starred on?
Ya!
Always reminded me of hasek a bit
Definitely! Did anything to make a save
They would have won at least one more cup had Thomas been in net.
Show the videos and not the words! man that's frustrating.
Working on it
He played for 3 finnish teams. For the lockout he played for Jokerit, not HIFK. Also they didnt win the championship that year.
Maybe do Tukka next
Ya totally, another Boston legend!
For the record, Tim Thomas DID NOT WIN A HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP
He played for Davison High School outside of Flint MI. The ONLY High School State Championship won by a Flint area / Genesee County Michigan team was the 2023 Flint Powers Catholic team
It's IFK perkele
It's amazing how not being part of group think can land you in so much hot water. We aren't free to think different....consequences arise when you do.
Yup!
so true just because he never went to the white house.
The guys touched. No two ways about it🤷🏻♂️
He got blacklisted because he wouldn't tow the line of supporting the Democrat party. Good for him!
False. He was blacklisted because he put himself above the team.
@@ryanthiessen9040 False. Boston is a huge lib city, Obama was a historically poor president, and the NHL is and was extremely woke. You'll notice all the hate from him -- even from Bruin fans, which is odd -- completely revolves around politics and not hockey.
Exactly. He was right. What we know about Obama...
It’s spelled toe.
@@PeteNice29 yeah Boston fans are super-woke 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Why can’t you just say he grew up poor? Economically challenged is so disingenuous and deceptive because guess what? Most white people when Tim grew up in the 80’s and 90’s were poor. Hockeys a damn expensive sport too, so do some additional research and find out who helped Tim out so he could reach his goals and live up to his potential in hockey.
Exactly. It’s like saying someone is experiencing homeless. No your either homeless or your not. Net time I’m hungry I tell my wife I’m experiencing hunger. Pussification that’s all it is.
His political beliefs made me like him. Anyone who bucks the trend of these idiots running things is great in my books.
Absolutely!
Amen
You mean his support of the Tea party and his boycott of the White House visit? For many fans, myself included, this was an unnecessary blemish on his otherwise stellar resume. He was gone from Boston the next season.
@@faunbudweis What dress you wearing today?
@@dennis3351 what do you mean?
Shame that he became a tea bagger. But it sure proves he had brain damage. Still, let's hope he has a full recovery and that he can return to the pro game.
I think its safe to say he’s fully retired
And your a Biden supporter 😅
@@danieln1732
Better than being a Tea Bagger fer sure
Concussion?! PTSD?! Sure, sparky. Keep stocking up on the tin foil.
the high light of his career was snubbing Obama at the white house invite. ha ha.
😂
well he should have gone. That was a TEAM FUNCTION. Disrespectful to his teammates and the Bruins organization for him not going. Made it about him being the a $$ he is.
@@anthonys3631Its personal beliefs tho. Its the same as the pride jersey issues, the entire team does it, organization. Yet players choose not too due to personal beliefs.
@@beyond_thebenchit was a team event honoring the Bruins winning a championship being honored at the White House. You can't really compare it to 'pride night". Big difference like apples and oranges. IMHO he should have gone to the White House to celebrate a championship winning season.
I would think he works for the CIA or NASA now. Or an armed missionary murdering terrorist organizations alone.
🤣🤣🤣
Tim Thomas the most slow, lazy, and over rated goaile too play the game 🤣💯🤡 hahahaha
He beat us in the 2011 finals did he not? Canucks fan here as well.
😂 Are we over it yet? Haha
you must still be upset about your canucks coughing up that 3-2 lead huh? How is he lazy when during that series the canucks only scored 7-8 goals that entire series??
@@beyond_thebenchdoesn't bother me as I too like the bruins. Lots of Bruins fans here in Vancouver. They were far the better team in the series. I didn't personally like a lot of the players on that 2011 Canucks team anyways. Kesler, Burrows, etc. were all knobs to begin with. Sisters couldn't score.
@@ethanparker7900Luongo underperformed bottom line. When he played great(Luongo) how many pucks did Boston put past him? 3 right?
Hopefully he’ll be banned from the Hockey Hall of Fame and lose his NHL pension for disrespecting the president like that.
Probably not haha
The SECOND Stanley Cup Winner from Davison, MI (Ken Morrow was the first and also the first to win a Cup and a Gold Medal in the same year).
Oh that’s a fun lil fact! Love it
So much dam yapping, just to get to the point ffs
🤨
