Nice article. I'm a big fan if TT's. Thanks St. Johns. It really is a great story. It has 'Made for TV movie' written all over it!! -

the reason i like TT so much is his attitude, have you ever seen a goalie smile on the ice as much as TT? he grins ear to ear after saves-it's great to see a player having that much fun out there- but just like that he can turn on the switch and waffle you to the face...gotta love this guy,there is not a more exciting goalie to watch in the nhl! -

Haven't read it yet, and I will, but I've been saying how amazed nobody (NHL network or one of the local news stations) haven't done a piece on him yet. His story is great especially how his parents both sold their wedding rings to put him through goalie schools. Hard not to root for him. -

Duthie did a great piece on him, twice now, this year and his Vezina year.
But this is as good. You just know that if he ever wins a Cup, he's going to be a Disney movie. He even has the exploding scoreboard scene, from his Vermont days, a'la The Natural.
I'm looking forward to eventually reading his auobiography. -

I personally luv THE TANK! What a heart-felt story he himself and the stories that are written about him are all about! I am a fellow goalie myself and i kinda pattern myself and play like him especially when he goes down on his knees when the puck/ball is near the crease/net! I enjoy modelling his play! 2010-2011 Vezina Trophy Winner!
