Bruins Happy With Their Goaltender Rotation

from Daniel Nugent-Bowman of the National Post,
It took some time, but Peter Chiarelli’s unconventional plan is finally starting to pay off.
When the Boston Bruins’ general manager acquired goaltender Manny Fernandez from Minnesota in July, 2007, he envisioned a goaltending tandem - Fernandez and Tim Thomas - that could lead his team to NHL supremacy.
Thomas set career bests in goals-against average (2.44) and save percentage last season - and the Bruins, eighth in the East, made the playoffs for the first time since the lockout - but a knee injury limited Fernandez to just four games.
This year, the goaltenders are making Chiarelli look like a genius.
