rams80 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It was a joke, guys. I don't think he works in ass-play anthropology, either. Should be safer than it is to say that Tim Thomas is an idiot.If you're saying he's an idiot because he is skippinga year, fine. If you're saying he's an idiot because he has his opinion on the global economy, which, if you haven't seen the news in the last four years isn't exactly in great shape, then thats debatable.I agree it's kind of both, but while I see a global depression as a possibility, I don't think it's going to get so bad humanity goes back to the barter and trade era either like those panic-mongers he linked too say. There are too many rational actors abroad with too much to lose to let it get that far.---------------------------------------------Anyway, which team that is struggling to hit the salary floor is going to get a free $5 million cap hit come July 1 courtesy of Thomas and the Bruins?

Florida? Columbus? the Islanders?Fair enough on your comments above the break; to keep thread moving, I'm gonna say Columbus or the Islanders. Though Party City might sponsor Thomas's roster spot on the Panthers - right, admiral? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

BigBubba Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Good luck making a comeback as a 39 year-old after a calendar year off, Timmy.On a side note, it's hard to believe that the draft is less than three weeks away. If Burke even thinks about trading the Leafs' pick, I swear to my life I'll go all Mike-Milbury-MSG-1979 on him. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

sportstar1212 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I think that's it for Timmy. There's no way a 39 year-old that took a year off will be able to return to the skill level he's at now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Maybe now we won't have to worry so much when Fleury pulls a Luongo. At least, he won't be starting a million games in a row anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Thomas could actually be helping the Bruins more than he knows. Don't be surprised to see a team trade for him this summer; they would get a $5M cap hit to help get them to the floor and they wouldn't actually have to pay the salary.
