As I reported on Friday Tim Thomas has officially announced via Facebook of all places, that he plans to sit out the 2012-2013 season. I don't see why he is doing this, he won't gain anything from it. If he sits out for the year he doesn't get paid 5million and his trade value goes to nothing. Let's also point out the fact of how much he's screwing the franchise that has stuck with him. The Bruins have been nothing but fantastic to him by bringing him in and let him play his way. By Thomas doing this the Bruins are now still in the hook for the 5million, that's alot of money they could use to boost up their team. I still can't believe that almost exactly a year ago Tim Thomas was the most popular goalie the Bruins have had since Andy Moog and Gerry Cheevers.
How about going out in class by finishing up your contract with the Bruins either by becoming the backup, or making another run at a Stanley cup.
Don't get me wrong I will always be thankful for what he has done
and I understand the importance of friends and family, but I feel that's a lame excuse for your actions.
