The CBC Is Not Impressed With Thomas


Oh, CBC.  How cute you are:

Less Then Perfect

Less than perfect?  Sure, that is certainly the case, with any goalie.  Goalies let in pucks, they get scored on.  Tim Thomas only set a record for regular season save percentage.  I mean, that’s it?  He didn’t stop a speeding train?

If you read the article on the CBC site, there is no mention of what “less-than-perfect” means to them.  It’s a fluff piece mostly, and a poorly written one at that.  Considering the headline, I was expecting some reason, or some kind of slam to Thomas’ season, anything that would tell us why the CBC went with this headline.  It suggests that there is someone more deserving, someone more perfect that would be right for the award.  Which part was “less-than-perfect?”

I leave it to you.  Was this a childish retort, or am I reading too much into it?
