Tim Thomas, who did not look particularly sharp in a 4-3 loss Saturday, will be looking to rebound against the Capitals Sunday afternoon. He better be better or the Bruins will be eliminated from the playoffs and will turn to their golf clubs. Thomas allowed a soft goal to Mike Knuble Saturday as he could not control a redound off a Joel Ward shot. Troy Brouwer's goal on was on a shot that Thomas has handled successfully hundreds of times. Although he will be hostile surroundings (the game is in Washington) we expect that Thomas will be redeemed Sunday. if the Bruins don't extend the series, we are betting it won't be Thomas' fault.
