Well...kind of. See what happens here is Thomas kind of grabs onto Price with both hands, then they dance around for a bit, then Price goes for a wild, roundhouse right and Thomas falls down. It was not exactly Mike Vernon versus Patrick Roy, but still...Original Six goalie fight!!! Tim Thomas on his big moment via the Boston Globe:
“It was getting into an outnumbered situation,’’ said Thomas, called to duty when Price left his crease to join the jostling. “That’s what I was thinking when I was getting down there. He was more than willing to fight. I had this big old plan. I was going to grab his right, then I was going to throw lefts, because I know he’s bigger and taller than me and has the reach on me. I thought I could do a better job of throwing lefts than him. When we went to grab, he got a good hold of my right arm and I got nothing. So then I was like, ‘Now what do I do?’ He’s got a big right cocked and ready to come.’’Now that is the definition of standing up, er falling down, for your teammates! He may have let in six goals last night but Thomas showed that with the exception of stopping the puck, he was willing to do whatever it takes to win!
