It just so happened that last Friday, after an off-day practice in Ottawa, Tim Thomas tried out several chest protectors.

After just four years on the job, it's a bit early to compare Boston GM Peter Chiarelli to Sam Pollock , the legendary architect of nine Stanley Cup-winning teams in Montreal.

Two of the hottest goaltenders in the National Hockey League are expected to be spectators tonight when the Canadiens play the Boston Bruins at the TD Banknorth Garden .

When Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa don't have a big new free agent signing by July there's some screaming going on.

On a typical Monday last year, Tuukka Rask would be getting a much-needed day of rest.

The Bruins did their best to keep restricted free agent Phil Kessel before acceding to his desire to be traded and making a deal with Toronto.

The Bruins kick off their 2009-10 season tonight against Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals with their sights set on taking another step forward under the leadership of GM Peter Chiarelli and Coach Claude Julien.

With its high-flying forwards, Washington appears to be the team to beat.

So what makes me lean towards the option from Minnesota rather than the Bruin in Boston? For my money it comes down to the track records of both ...

At 35, Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas is finally being viewed as an elite-level NHL goalie, and now he isn't sure he wants the acceptance.
