Making his second career appearance at the NHL All-Star Game in 2009, Tim Thomas also earned his first of two Vezina Trophies that season and shared the William M Jennings Trophy with teammate Manny Fernandez. We have a blocker, glove and goal pads that all originate from the 2008-09 season, with the pads and blocker photo-matched to the regular season and Stanley Cup playoffs, while the glove is photo-matched to the regular season. Bauer models with matching white, black and gold colour scheme, “Thomas” is embroidered to each, with thorough game-use exhibited on each item including numerous puck marks. Inventory labels presumably from the Bruins that list Thomas along with the particulars have been affixed to each (removable), with all four items initialed by Kay Whitmore in his capacity as goaltending supervisor of the NHL. Hailing from his personal collection, a signed LOA from Tim Thomas will accompany.
