So what if people are calling to bench him? They are not as smart as the coach. They aren't in the bruins locker room, and probably have never played hockey. These are the same people that were calling to bench thomas last year in the series against montreal just because thomas missed 2 saves. They were saying start rask every game instead of thomas and talking about how Thomas was on a "short leash." What happened? Julien didn't care what a bunch of dumb fans thought, and he started Thomas every game. What happened? Thomas owned the entire playoffs. Just because he missed a goal or two doesn't mean we need to start rask. Despite letting up a soft goal or 2, he also has made some UNBELIEVABLE saves this series that Rask probably wouldn't have made. So it cancels out. You see the diving stick save yesterday that resembled last years save on Downie? In the first half of game 5 Thomas made some dominating saves. Yes he let up 2 soft goals... but if he saved those 2, but didn't make the 5 other spectacular saves, we'd still be down a net of (-3) goals. Thomas is reigning Vezina trophy winner and Conn Smythe trophy winner. He won the stanley cup last year for the bruins. He will start game 7. And it is the right decision. No-question-about-it.
