goalies are a pretty big deal in hockey

as i'm writing this tim thomas just had a scorless streak of about 95 minutes broken up.  but something the NBC announcers said at the beginning of the period really stuck with me:  "thomas is the only goalie left in the playoffs who hasn't been pulled during a game yet."  that pretty much sums up all you need to know i think.  in the NHL, once the playoffs start it's kind of a crap shoot who's going to win.  but one thing i do know is that hot goalies win cups.
