Always loved Timmy T, it really is unfortunate his Bruins tenure ended the way it did, but perhaps all is not lost just yet.

Best memory of Thomas was at a Ducks game at Honda Center. Ice girls were attempting to scrape the ice during tv timeout. Thomas was midway between goal and blueline and wouldn’t move so she scrape the ice. Always thought he was a douche. That confirmed it. No sympathy for him.

One of my best memories of TT is when he came out of his crease to check Sedin to the ice, was awesome.

I hope Tim Thomas knows that he will always be cherished for what he did for the Boston Bruins. Both helping turn around the franchise and for what he did in 2011. One of the most legendary playoff runs I have ever seen.

I personally will never forget his time with the Bruins and it is certainly tough to read about his struggles. I have always been under the impression that he just wanted to get away from the media following the political drama he was involved with.

Hopefully his health and mental state continue to improve..

Ps. The ducks fan above can go ahead and (frank) off.

My post above was classless, uncalled for, unfeeling and a prime example of why one should reread and think about their post BEFORE clicking submit.
