Four years ago, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. It was the first time the Black and Gold had brought home Lord Stanley’s hardware in nearly forty years. The Boston Bruins had a lot of players that pitched in that year to win the Stanley Cup, but one player stood out amongst them. That player was their goaltender, Tim Thomas.
Tim Thomas had one of the more unusual climbs to the Stanley Cup. He had played in four different leagues before he got into the NHL at the age of 28. A lot of journeyman players would have given up by then.
