Team Timmy or Team Tuukka

To tell you the truth, I don't know the exact point where the story of the 2 Bruins goalies turned into the hockey version of the Twilight Saga, but apparently it did. We're about to play game 4 of the season and fans are already choosing sides. I mean seriously, yes, I do have my favorite out of the 2, who doesn't? And I'm sure Im guilty of this, but to complain just because your favorite goalie isn't getting the start is just plain stupid. And annoying.

Tim Thomas will be getting the start will be getting the start tonight against the Caps. I agree with the choice. Now before all you Team Tuukka people cut my throat out, let me explain. Or I can let Thomas' numbers eplain for themself: .984 save%, 0.50 GAA, 2nd in each of those categories; and a 2-0 win record. Yes, I agree, no one can rule Tuukka out because his first game wasn't the best, but why rule out Timmy? Yea sure, there was last season, but right now we're playing in this season, and so far Timmy's numbers are good for this year.

To be honest, all choices are made and should be made for the better of the team. If Tim Thomas is the starter for the game, I'll be happy. If Tuukka is the starter, I'll be happy then too, because he is also a part of the team, and he played a game where the loss wasn't completely his fault.

And to make another point, we have probably one of the best goalie pairs in the NHL. Both are good, both are dependable. I don't understand why some Bruins fans are choosing sides when we have 2 goalies who can both perfectly win a game. Not many teams have that. Then again, some teams don't even have 1 goalie thats good.

So if I had to choose a team, it would have to be team Bruins. If either goalie started, I'd be okay knowing that we always have the chance of winning the game. Now where do you stand? If you a person who prefers a goalie, which one?
