Much like the rest of us, Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas doesn't like to work overtime. In fact, he'll apparently do whatever he can to get out of it. Twenty two seconds into the overtime period between his Bruins and the Washington Capitals, Thomas allowed Alexander Semin's offering - from over 80 feet away - to penetrate his wall of padding, ending the extra session.
Now I don't claim to be a hockey fan by any means, but if anything that's ever happened in hockey is worth a minute and six seconds of your scheduled YouTube time for the day, it's this. If not for the seemingly impossible shot that reaches it's intended destination with assistance from Thomas' leg, then for the speed at which Thomas exits the ice after the mishap. Rumor has it Thomas was heard uttering "I don't care if it's time and a half, I got shit to do tonight."
Hope that hot date you had to get to was a good one Tim. Hockey fans may not be the smartest, but if they know how to do anything, it's taunt players. And I doubt Bruins fans will be letting this blunder be forgotten any time soon.
