Do you guys think Tim Thomas would be affected if he played in a Canadian hockey market like Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto?
There is immense pressure on players that play in the Canadian market. Look what Carey Price went through. Granted these guys are professional hockey players, and in the case of Luongo, where he signed the deal for the big bucks to stay here and consume the pressure and spotlight, would a guy like Thomas, who doesn't seem to get phased faulter a bit because of playing in a Canadian city?
I think it takes a certain kind of personality to take the mental part of it. Look at Kipper in Calgary...he doesn't seem to get too phased when the pressure is on him to perform. I thought Price had the same mental toughness as Luongo until this season, where I think he really proved himself.
