Dressed in a black shirt, khaki shorts, and sporting kicks, Thomas appeared relaxed and at ease walking into the office. I guess after you play a sport in front of thousands of people and on national television--walking into a sports department at a TV station seems really casual.
After introducing himself to the other intern and myself, his first question was: "Which TV is the Red Wings game on?" For him, ice hockey season's not over until the Stanley Cup is won, it appears.
Soon after, Thomas did a one-on-one interview with anchor Steve Burton. He handled it similar to the way he handled most of the season: with grace and skill.
When Burton asked Thomas what he thought about the Bruins losing to the Hurricanes in the playoffs, Thomas told Burton that the best team did not win the series, but that the team that played the best in the series won the series. He continued by telling Burton that the expectations are high for next year and that it takes time to win a Stanley Cup. Thomas mentioned that the Detroit Red Wings (who beat Chicago tonight 6-1), did not win the Stanley Cup in the past by just getting good over night. It took the Red Wings time, and it will take time, but the Bruins will get it.
Prior to the interview with Thomas for the "Sports Final" show, I had the opportunity to chat with Thomas in the office. I was interested in what he was taking his time to do in the offseason.
He mentioned that he is moving into a new house and that he is heading out to Vermont for a little, and to Vegas for the NHL awards in June. Of course, he will be working out as well as he hopes for a longer playoff run next year and another chance at winning the Stanley Cup.
