good. riddance. Whack Job

ur not supposed to get picks it was all about the 5 mill. cap hit

How DARE he speak his mind! Doesn’t he know this is America! Oh, wait….

Thanks for the memories. Never forgot the way you played during the cup run.. But what i will remember more is how you left your team high and dry when it mattered most. I’ll take the bag of pucks we got for ya Timmy. At least we know they won’t quit.

pretty lame the islanders eed to make a deal to get to the salary floor. no wonder they have been irrelevant for 30 years

Couldn’t have said it better myself Billy..

Thanks for helping to bring us the cup TT! Have a great rest of your career and enjoy your tin-foil hat.

Gee, you’d think they could have gotten a 1st rounder for him.  But, he’s only signed for 1 year and he’s old.  So I suspect that factored heavily into things.  Well, at least it’s over. Time to turn the page.

Kobra543, He is not going to play this year anyhow, so we will actually get nothing, not even the 2nd round pick. We got rid of the salary cap hit, that’s all the could be done for us, and NYI get over the cap floor. Nothing to do with a trade of players, just moving fake money around.

Thanks for the Cup Tim! If not for you it wouldn’t of happened!

Must feel great as an Islanders fan to hear that the reason they picked up the contract of someone who is not going to play was so the reach the MINIMUM cap floor – stay classy Islanders Management.  Makes you want to run out and buy Islander tickets…..

does that mean we have the $5 mill to spend now?

With all due respect, he’s 38…he will NEVER EVER be “that guy” again….he did his job, he made his point. The B’s did what they needed to do and got something…end of story.

 How long will it take for him to get the message in his bunker? 

It had nothing to do with him speaking his mind…it had everything to do with him walking away from his deal this year. This was a wise move…at least they get something…he’ll never be what he was….never again. He pi ss ed that away

Prorated

One of the most selfish athletes of his time. Sign’s a front loaded contract & bails on the team in the year his NTC expires and the year he was to receive his lowest actual salary. Good riddence to that jackass. Tim Thomas was always about Tim Thomas. Just ask his former teammates. Stories about this guys selfishness will come out.

Amazing how much hate gets laid on Thomas. I’m sure all of you are perfect in life.

He was the key to the cup as the PP would have never got you there.. Time for Rask to shine as he was in the twilight. Cups do not come easy.

If he plays a game then you know it was something else.

it wasnt that he spoke his mind..it was how he embarrassed his team by acting like a db

Thanks for the memories Tim, but don’t poke the Bear or Peter Chiarelli. B’s are in first place in the Eastern Conference and are 7-1-1. Go Tuukka. My hopes are he gets a nice contract next year

One of the strangest endings to what was a great story. 

that anti government,pro militia, right wing DB will fit perfectly in NY? NOT

wait till they move to Brooklyn, he will be adjusted !

I don’t think the B’s expected much from this trade. I feel they just wanted to turn the page and move on.

The Bruins cleared $5 million on this year’s cap hit.   Move probably means the Bruins plan to trade for a 3rd line player and will have the cap space to make the move. No other reason to make the move.

Never realized there were so many homo lefties who follow hockey in Boston who find it more important to puke their lefty political ideology than to recognize TT for his greatness as a player.

Having said that, TT won’t play again in the NHL. Without him, there is no Cup in Boston, everyone is still hating the Jacobs family, the Bs would be languishing in popularity somewhere behind the Revolution, Claude Julien would be unemployed, and tickets to all home games would be generously available (even though they are for most home games still).

NO THOMAS, NO CUP. Just say thanks TT and let it go.   

 Yeah, no kidding.  Didn’t have to end this way, but it sure has been a blessing with regards to Tuukka. 

Hope he plays.

you people are jerks! Tim Thomas is a BIG reason the Bruins won the Cup! how easy you forget, Bet you all loved him while the Bruins were bringing the Cup to Boston. He has his reasons (that not one of you know) for doing what hes doing, He will be fine, Rask is doing just fine and the Bruins will be just fine. So all you idiots, stay off the band wagon when the B’s go for the Cup again!

When push comes to shove…there is no cup without him. Lose the venom and always remember that.The sight of Bruins fans bad mouthing this guy is disgusting…flat out disgusting….Everyone of us is entitled to our beliefs and frankly his or anyone elses is none of our business. Thank you Tim for lifting a 29 year old cloud and raising our cup.

How selfish of him to carry his team to a cup

If it wasn’t for Tim Thomas there would have been NO Stanley Cup. Period. He almost single handily carried the team that season. Awesome performance. How soon fans forget. Or are they really fans. He wasn’t coming back to the Bruins. He’s a year older. The Bruins made a business decision. Tim may never play again. He’s sound financially. End of story.

bet his bunker beats your house

 no, they are just liberals, plain and simple.

Enjoy being a d-bag? If you’re not a real Bruins fan, get the F out of here.

thanks for all you did for us tim. unfortunate it ended this way.

knock it off with the political crap. that attitude signifies all that is wrong with politics right now.

sounds like you have some serious issues you venomous moron. you clearly are the “child left behind.”

If the throngs of limp-wristed lefties in this, the most liberal state in the Union, couldn’t “adjust” TT, what makes you think the illiterate welfare rabble in Brooklyn will?

And the city of boston chases another MVP out of town. What a bunch of jerks who live there. 

You know absolutely nothing about sports, do you?
