Congrats to Tim Thomas for showing some recognizable Vezina form last night. Saturday night's game was the second time this season the Bruins have come back from multiple goals down to tie it in the third before going on and clinching two points in the shootout. The latest heart attack game was even more intense, calling for two goals in the final 1:28 of regulation. If you watch a replay of the game, try your hardest not to pay attention to Jack Edwards in a classic Jack Edwards moment, and look at the faces of the Sens fans. Priceless.

While Thomas did come out and make some amazing saves, one goal that beat him five hole and another that sneaked by his left pad as it lost coverage of the near post still tell me he's got a little bit of rust to shake off. He'll do better if he's alternating netminding duties with Rask, as this rotation with Fernandez at the beginning of last season really brought the best out of him. Doing this may help Timmy get on the NHL Network's top five saves of the night, like he is below:
