Last week, the CBC's Hotstove Tonight crew suggested that former Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas was considering making an NHL or European comeback, but the Boston Globe's Kevin Dupont spoke to Thomas' agent about the situation, and it sounds like the plucky goaltender will remain in his bunker in Colorado, counting his gold doubloons (kidding, sort of):
[Bill] Zito, also the agent for Tim Thomas, said he knows of no plans the 39-year-old ex-Bruin might have for returning to play in Europe next season. Rumors last weekend had Thomas, currently property of the Islanders, contemplating another tour overseas. The two-time Vezina winner played in Finland and Sweden for years before he finally cracked the Black and Gold lineup at age 32 midway through the 2005-06 season.
The rest of Dupont's Sunday notebook is worth your time.
