QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I couldn't follow the game anymore. My brain wasn't functioning well enough to be able to keep up with the game, so I sat out in the woods for a few years. I didn't watch much hockey. There's not much TV out there." --Former Bruins goalie Tim Thomas on his hockey-related brain trauma.
