941 is crazy. Tim Thomas was actually elite. Hard path to the nhl because he is small and unorthodox. But he seems to have won every where he went. I remember him making saves when he wasn’t even looking at the puck. Behind the back saves, diving stick saves, out of position saves. The only other elite goalie to do this was Hasek.
 
Sadly he is a UFA. I hope they do. But maybe he wants to play somewhere else. I’d like to see him get some nhl games this season.

Yeah, someone will probably give him a deal and a chance at a job. If the Bruins don't end up moving Korpisalo before July 1, I wonder if DiPietro decides to move on? I hope he re-signs, though.

I miss Thomas so much. Not only was he good in net but he was feisty when he got mad. He would chop ankles, use his blocker, go out of his net to hit somebody ( Kostitsyn, Sedin ) and not just flap his gums and pretend like Swayman. I also did not remember him wearing 73 in with Providence! Kinda wild but that was Thomas.

I rather see him stay especially with the with he put in with the bruins and Coaches. The bruins should find a way to keep him
Maybe he resigns because of the B's showing feith in him and getting his game back in order. Of course he's his own reason for his come back.

Someone may give him a deal. but wherever he goes he is going to have to fight for a chance to maybe win a backup job out of camp.

He might, as I said he is not going to have an NHL job handed to him anywhere, and no one is likely to give him a contract that can't be buried in the minors for no cost (so 1 mil or less) . If the Bruins want him to stay, I think they will be able to make a deal

Yeah we need to get bigger , stronger, slower with guys that can't score for the playoffs

It's working so well so far this year
Not making the playoffs so don't worry about that. So before you post think what having him in the line up for the rest of meaningless season can do. Protect Pasta !

Heaviest and tallest team in the league.
It's done a whole lot of good so far
He sucks and has no future here

Let's try some players that may actually have a future here

I know....you only like goons...it's in your post history... toughness is all that matters
