Tim Thomas Chases Sean Avery
During a stoppage in play, Avery skated up behind Thomas and "accidentally" hit him on the back of his mask with his stick. Thomas, as you can see, decided to respond by chasing Avery from behind, and then feeding Fredrik Sjostrom a face full of blocker. Both players received two-minute minors for roughing.
Of all the goalies currently playing in the NHL, Thomas is probably the last one I'd try to annoy, seeing as how he has a relatively short fuse. Consider Montreal's Andrei Kostitsyn as Exhibit A:
And Toronto's Jason Blake as Exhibit B:
Blake Wheeler scored the only goal of the game, his 21st of the season, helping lead Boston to its sixth win in a row. Thomas made 31 saves.
