Tim Thomas is deserving of the Conn Smythe
Tim Thomas - G - Boston Bruins
June 13, 2011 - 8:15 AM ET

Tim Thomas has been spectacular during the Stanley Cup Finals.

He has turned aside 165 of Vancouver's 171 shots in the first five games of the series for a remarkable .971 save percentage. Despite his recent verbal jousting with Canucks' netminder Roberto Luongo, Thomas will be focused and ready to perform in Game 6 in Boston on Monday night. Even if Vancouver ends up capturing the Stanley Cup, Thomas should be considered a serious contender for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the postseason.
