TORONTO (CP) - No goaltender in hockey savours victories more than Tim Thomas.
It took him 11 years after being drafted to earn a full-time job in the NHL so it's easy to understand why he gets such a big kick out of coming out on top. The 32-year-old native of Flint, Mich., was at his best in stopping 45 shots, including 21 in the third period, to enable the Boston Bruins to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 Tuesday night.
"It was a kick to make it to the NHL and it's a kick every time I get to show people I can play at this level," said Thomas.
