Adam Gretz mentioned the Boston Bruins' big win over Montreal Tuesday night. Goaltender Tim Thomas was the big man for Boston, stopping 34 shots. He also asserted himself physically, making it clear that he didn't appreciate Andrei Kostitsyn's suspension-worthy blast from behind on already-hobbled defenseman Aaron Ward. The following video doesn't show Kostitsyn's hit (trust me, it was a textbook five-minute major), but you can see that Thomas wasn't shy about letting his feelings be known.

a textbook 5 minutes ajor? We haven't seen the same play it seems. Even Tim Thomas said to the Boston Globe he jumped Kostitsyn just because he heard the noise and saw Aaron Ward lying. Then he saw the replay and said it wasn't nearly bad as what he thought.

Tim Thomas is the Grapes for doing that to Kostitsyn he hit Ward from behind which was a cheap shot also Ward is just getting back from being injured, that took some big nuggets from Thomas, I think it was GREAT!
