Tuukka Rask and Tim Thomas

SI.com columnist Darren Eliot, a former NHL goaltender, offers his appraisal of each team's netminding duo for the 2010-11 season, in order of their relative strength and taking into account the durability of the go-to guy, the lack of a proven backup, and consistency.

The upstart and the old fart ... Rask is the real deal, so don't expect any slippage after his stellar rookie campaign. Never, ever, however, bet against Thomas having a major impact in his quest to play meaningful games once again for the B's.
