I thought it was still up in the air? And I would feel worse if you didn't have Rask

LOL TT is a crazy guy. This doesn't really surprise me though, especially coming from him.

This guy is a douche. Its ok to take a year off or whatever but this just sounds like a contract play to ensure that he gets traded wherever he wants.

And in that retirement note hes plugging his business. Its not hard to see why most Bruins players werent unhappy to see him go.

From the earliest age I can remember, I've wanted to be a hockey player. I've been blessed in my life to not only be able to live that dream, but to achieve more than I ever thought possible.

The singleminded focus that is necessary to accomplish a dream of this magnitude entails (by necessity) sacrifice in other areas and relationships in life.

At the age of 38, I believe it is time to put my time and energies into those areas and relationships that I have neglected. That is why at this time I feel the most important thing I can do in my life is to reconnect with the three F's.

Friends, Family, and Faith.

This is what I plan on doing over the course of the next year.

On top of this, I will continue to train using the ARP/POV system www.ultrafitevosport.com and work with G-Form www.g-form.com in the development of protective equipment.

What does this portend for the future?

We'll see….God's will be done.

Yeah the links he posts at the bottom are ridiculous. This is him having sour grapes over not getting an extension.

Peter Chiarelli DIDN'T have to give him the extra year when he gave him his original extension. But he did and thomas is making him pay in the worst way. Tim Thomas IS in fact a douche if he pulls this type of move.

Tim Thomas is very reminiscent of Curt Schilling. Hey, we appreciate you winning a championship for us, but why must you be a friggen a-hole.
