It wasn't the answer Manny Fernandez wanted. more stories like this"No, it wasn't," said the Bruins' injured netminder yesterday, his knee woes making him a spectator for most of this season. "But at least we've reached a decision. We have a plan, and now we'll go from here." The plan, in a nutshell: 1. get back on skates immediately; 2. build up leg strength through on-ice workouts and off-ice rehab; 3. hope for the best. All of that, which Fernandez plans to begin as early as tomorrow in a late-morning workout, is in lieu of surgery. Doctors on Thursday filled Fernandez's left knee with dye for a closer examination, and their recommendation, he said, was to stay the conservative course.

Thomas has earned the starter position anyway. Why oh why did we spend 4 mil on an injured goalie?

I agree. Thomas has earned the right to start, ,however if we can use the 4 million dollar back-up in the playoffs it could be worth it. We should claim Iiya Bryzgalov off waivers!
