I thank my fellow puck head Kynch for allowing me to contribute to Kynch's Korner. I wanted to chime in real quick this morning about how impressive it is that the B's were able to sweep a home & home series from the Cap's. When they were approaching these last 3 games,(New Jersey last Saturday) I would have been thrilled with a 1-1-1 record and a possible 3 points to get them started. Instead they took all 6 and in convincing fashion. The key however to all three wins was Timmy Thomas. There is no denying that. In the New Jersey game and the Home opener last Thursday, the B's came out a little flat in the first period and Thomas was simply outstanding. When you have a man between the pipes who can do that for you, it changes everything. I have heard all kinds of knuckleheads on the radio this week talking about a goalie controversy and how now they can trade Thomas....are you kidding me ? I like Raask, I think he is extremely talented, and I know in his opening day loss to Phoenix that the team did not play well in front of him to start the game. But the difference is, in my opinion, they started out a little "blah" in 2 of these last 4 games as well and Thomas shut the door. So what is wrong with having 2 good goalie's, especially this early in the campaign. I also love the fact that they each play a different style with Timmy being that scrambling, "whatever it takes" style and Raask the more conventional butterfly. It is clear to me now that Thomas was hurt last year and to be honest, I didn't think his season was all that bad anyways. But boy oh boy does he look good. The puck looks like a beach ball to him right now. I just don't understand why there has to be a clear "number 1" in October. Julien had to come back with Thomas in the home opener if for nothing else, to get in Washington's head a little bit. Thomas had veteran sniper and former Bruin Mike Knuble talking to himself on Thursday night. It is clear to me that Thomas is motivated and we all know he plays his best when he is proving himself instead of just cashing large paychecks like he was last season. He clearly has something to prove and he is going to prove it. Not to mention, this will only drive Raask to play his best. So I say if this is a problem then I am a fan of these types of problems. Because if Thomas can maintain this level of play, and Raask is on top of his game as well, they are going to be frustrating a lot of teams in the coming months. Enjoy the Rangers game tonight !
