It’s Tim Thomas bobblehead day...in Florida

Minnesota Wild v Dallas Stars

DALLAS, TX - MARCH 08: Tim Thomas #30 of the Dallas Stars celebrates the win over the Dallas Stars at the third period on March 8, 2014 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Dallas won 4 to 3.

Roberto Luongo probably wasn’t the only one surprised when the Vancouver Canucks reopened trade negotiations with Florida.

At that point, the Panthers seemed committed to sticking with Tim Thomas for the rest of the season. After all, they made bobbleheads of him and everything.

Speaking of, if you still want one, they’re giving them out to 7,500 fans tonight ahead of their game against the Boston Bruins, per the Miami Herald.

They’re a collector’s item, especially seeing his jersey is wrong from the moment it enters your hands. The acquisition of Luongo prompted them to send Thomas to the Dallas Stars.

Perhaps they should have at least waited until April 6 when Florida will host Thomas’ new team, but a match against two squads that used to have two-time Vezina Trophy winner works too...
