Is this a shock to anybody right now? I mean the man is the definition of an underdog. Everybody wants to talk about that fluke Jeremy Lin and what a great story he was? Here is a guy who was born in Flint, Michigan and was constantly told he will never be good enough, will never make the NHL and that his career was fading. Flash forward to 2011, the man was hoisting the Stanley Cup trophy. No, he wasn't one of these free-riding champions like an Eli or a Trent Dilfer, this man played a huge role. He stood on his head (for non-hockey fans that means just doing whatever to make a save) throughout the playoffs and the Cup final. The man deserves respect and he doesn't get the credit he deserves because 1) not enough people like hockey and 2) we are all infatuated with flavors of the week we don't realize the true underdog stories. Jeremy Lin not an underdog, Tim Thomas is.
