The image Bill portrays holds true outside of ECAC as well.  Thomas played
in the Governor's Cup in Orono earlier this year where he held Hockey East's
#2 seed UML to one goal, and lost in overtime 2-1 to Hockey East's #3 seed
Maine.
 
In both games Thomas was spectacular, in fact he may have been the best
goalie I've seen all year so far.  He never seems to get flustered, and is
seemingly always confident.  A real talent.  After seeing Vermont twice this
year, I'd also say that Thomas holds Vermont's chances.  That top line very
rarely can be totally shutdown, so as long as Thomas holds strong Vermont
has a good chance in the ECAC Tournament.
