Top Goalie So Far This Season

Less than a week ago I picked Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings as the top goalie so far this season.  He was the best of a crowded group of top goalies in part because of the high number of saves he has had to make with the Kings.  Very quickly things have changed.  Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins has emerged as the top goalie so far this season. 

Thomas has a .941 saves percentage and 1.83 GAA.  These are even better numbers than he had in either of his two previous Vezina Trophy seasons.  The only goalie in the league who has comparable numbers is Brian Elliott of the St Louis Blues.  He is nominally a backup goalie, though he has split the Blues goaltending work with Jaroslav Halak so far this season.  Thomas has not played as many games as some other goalies either because Tuukka Rask is a solid backup in Boston.
