First off, hes the only reason they got to the playoffs. Amazing all year leading the league in shutouts and keeping them in every game.
Im not saying thomas hasnt been great but if his top line in the playoffs was avery-boyle-prust then they would have been out first round. Its not hanks fault that cally got hurt and gaborik was non existent.
Put Hank on the caps/lightning/flyers they win the cup.

Bullcrap! The caps would not win the cup with Hank and I'm not so sure the flyers would either. Insofar as the lightning go, they had roloson in net and he has hisstorically been one of the very best playoff performers in the net. He took a lousy edmonton team to the cup final vs tampa bay in 06 and had he not gotten hurt, they probably would have won the cup that year. He also took the bolts to the conf final this year and lost in the 7th game. Don't see how the great hank would have made that much of a difference.
