Tim Thomas is now blaming the lights at the MSG for his poor play. 
Tim Thomas Blames Madison Square Garden Lights For Affecting His Play
Quote:
Thomas was asked by the Boston Herald if he is ready for the increased workload that awaits if backup Tuukka Rask is injured significantly.
“Yeah,” he told the Herald. “Especially if I go to an arena with lights.”
The lighting at Madison Square Garden is definitely different from other NHL arenas, as is evidenced by its appearance even on television. Still, they haven’t prevented Lundqvist from leading the league in save percentage and shutouts this year.
Thomas also said things just weren’t right for him at MSG.
“Every [goal] was a screen or a weird, goofy bounce,” he told the Herald. “It wasn’t a normal game for a goaltender. Let’s put it that way.”
