Tim Thomas had a forgetful night Saturday allowing four goals on 27 shots in the Boston Bruins' 4-2 setback to the Dallas Stars. He is human after all ... but more notably, maybe the 12-day layoff since his last start did have an affect on his game. The stud goalie gave up four markers for the first time all season and finished with a sub-.900 save percentage for just the fourth time. Even the league's best goalies have down nights, so this is nothing to fret about, and it's still very likely Tuuka Rask will steal about a third of the starts as the season progresses. Thomas still has a 1.94 goals-against average (fifth in the league) and the second-best save percentage, .939.
