It may be hard to believe that 25 NHL seasons have already passed this century. Due to this, NHL teams Quarter Century Mount Rushmores have been discussed, and an analyst just publicly disrespected a former Boston Bruins legend.
Looking at the Boston Bruins Quarter Century Mount Rushmore, it's clear that there are some players on there that are debatable.
You can also look at it, and believe that some players were snubbed. Lyle Richardson of Bleacher Report revealed his Mount Rushmore for the Boston Bruins, and it's clear that a former Boston Bruin got robbed.
Tim Thomas robbed of Quarter Century Mount Rushmore
The players on the Boston Bruins Quarter Century Mount Rushmore were David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and Zdeno Chara.
Three of the players listed there are current Stanley Cup Champions, all winning one together, except for one player.
It's clear that Marchand, Bergeron and Chara all belong on the list, but David Pastrnak is very questionable.
Instead, there has been some debate that former Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas, who played a major role in the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup, should be on there instead of Pastrnak.
It's understandable why David Pastrnak is on the list, but Thomas is definitely the more deserving player.
Not only does him winning a Stanley Cup make him a more notable candidate, but his other awards also back it up. Thomas won two Vezina Trophies, a Jennings, a Conn Smythe, four-time All-Star, and two-time NHL First Team.
In seven games against the Vancouver Canucks in 2011, he allowed just eight goals, stopping 238 out of 246 shots faced.
