You have probably heard more about a someone *cough*Tim Thomas*cough* not visiting the White House than the people who actually did visit, which was the rest of the team.
You sir, Tim Thomas, were the MVP of the playoffs! You are probably the reason why the Bruins won!! They could not have done it without you!!! Good thing a trip to the White House doesn't require anyone to stop pucks. Well I guess they still have Tuukka Rask, who by the way is playing tonight in Washington. Good call Boston, good call.
Also, it has been noted by many others that Thomas was the only American on that team. *Insert Gary Bettman comment about how the NHL has to sell the game to Americans.*
Sure, you going to the White House probably wouldn't have brought in any new American fans but come on, it's a huge part of YOUR country's history!!
Too bad Thomas wasn't around during the war of 1812, he could have helped the British attempt to burn it down, maybe even use his flying poke check to knock out the supporting walls.
I a little bit of me hopes that Thomas never wins another cup and never has the chance to visit the White House again.
On a more awesome note, the 2nd biggest story out of the White House. Tomas Kaberle's attire.
Nice pinstripes man...
Side note: What happens when a Canadian team wins the Stanley Cup? Stop laughing, it might happen one day .. maybe....
