Here is another interesting one.  The always-controversial and outspoken Tim Thomas was quite a story, becoming an elite netminder at the age of 34 and having two spectacular seasons in pro hockey, when most players have hung up their pads.  Thomas is one of the rare players to win two Vezina Trophies and backstopped the Boston Bruins to a Stanley Cup win; however, the reality is that his run at the top was too brief to cement a Hall of Fame spot…though stranger things have happened.
