Thomas is at best the fourth best US goalie right now in line for 2014.

Quick
Howard
Miller

Hell I'd put Schneider above him for 2014.
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

He's old and he's taking the season directly before when the team will be selected (Summer 2013) off. I don't see him making it unless he's head and shoulders better than the other goalies. Maybe if this playoff was his Conn Smythe year and then he took the year off, but now? They'll probably take Howard/Schneider even if Thomas looks a little better in tryouts, since he won't have played NHL opposition in about 14 months when tryouts begin.

You know what I don't get? If Tim Thomas is such a right-wing nutjob, how did he wind up going to college in Burlington with all those stinky hippies?

Maybe he wasn't a right wing nutjob until he was in the wheelhouse financially of right wing nutjobs?

Maybe Tim thought about this daily.

What about Quick?

I'm thinking bronco is penciling Miller and Quick already into slots with Howard/Schneider/Thomas competing for the third spot.

By the time 2014 rolls around, I think Miller may be #3 if Quick and Schneider keep progressing at their current rates.

TT is toast and Howard may be a victim of numbers.
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

I think Schneider needs a starting job. Whether that's in Vancouver or elsewhere doesn't really matter.
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

What a bullsh* goal. Puck was trapped under the pad, no way that the ref could have seen it "loose."
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

think the ref should have blown the whistle there??

Consensus in the house was yes.

Sure looked to me that Marty had it under the pad and covered by the stick.
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

I dunno if Quick had that covered. :rolleyes: Make up your mind, refs.
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Part II: Boogalooing all the way to the Cup

Quick 5.7, 5.9, 5.8 & 6 from the Russian judge

That outside shot with the Convention Center there just reminded me E3 (the video game convention) is this week.

Drunk nerds, drunk hockey fans in a shady area of LA, not a good mix...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

I will admit that the goalie interference penalty was soft.
