Just when you thought the Kings could not go into yet another overtime and shoot-out....they do it again.
Sad that this team needs more than 3.1 periods to score more than 1 goal.....heck even then they still cannot score a goal.

Does Tim Thomas dislike Obama that much?!?!?
THOMAS DECLINES INVITATION AS BRUINS MAKE WHITE HOUSE VISIT
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=385861
I think Obama is a poor president, however I would go visit with him if given the opportunity. It's not like if you accept the visit, that it means you agree with the man's policies.
The 2011 Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins made their long-awaited visit to the White House on Monday, but it was without the one player whose postseason heroics got them there in the first place.
Conn Smythe Trophy winning-goaltender Tim Thomas did not attend the visit hosted by U.S. President Barack Obama and the team explained that he would post a statement regarding his actions on his Facebook page on Monday night.
"Everybody has their own opinions and political beliefs. He chose not to join us," Bruins president Cam Neely told Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com at the visit. "We certainly would have liked to have him come and join us. But it's his choice. It's obviously not a choice most of the guys...well all of the guys came except for Tim. But it's his decision and his choice."
President Obama honoured the Bruins for their championship won last spring and their charitable work off the ice.
The Bruins won their first Stanley Cup title in 39 years last June when they beat the Vancouver Canucks in seven games.
It was the latest in a string of Boston professional sports championships in recent years, including the Celtics in 2008, the Red Sox in 2007 and the New England Patriots in 2005.
The Patriots face the New York Giants in next month's Super Bowl.
Obama says, "the Bruins, the Sox, the Celtics, now the Patriots. Enough already, Boston."
The White House said the Boston Bruins Foundation has donated more than US$7 million to charities in New England.

And his way to tell Obie to fuck off in a kinder, gentler fashion.
I know if I don't like someone, I'm sure not going to his house for a party.

Not to keep this running in this thread, but I really don't get into politics with friends. And those that want to flaunt their beliefs after me making it known that I do not wish to, I distance myself self from them. Some telling them point blank shut the fuck up about your politics or take a hike.

Exactly, then you should be fine and so should Thomas while having a meet and greet with the president......it's not a political meeting, and politics won't be brought up.
Still wouldn't want to meet him, because of who he is, not his title. Have no respect for him in his job, no going to put on the PC face and do it.

Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.
This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT

That was an entertaining game all around...and a penalty shot to boot!
Nice to see the Kings put 4 in the net.....that happens only once in a blue moon.
Perhaps that is why I was drinking all those Blue Moons at LA Live before the game Makes sense.

Put your helmets on....it's not that hard.

I enjoy reading Stu Hackel's stuff. He chimes in on Thomas' decision to boycott the White House: http://nhl-red-light.si.com/2012/01/...sct=nhl_t11_a1

It's not a political event....and yet Thomas made it one.

Only reason I don't like what he did is because it brings a distraction to the team.....which should pass in a week and all will return to normal.

For the record, no hate here......but he is a whining clown for not going.

Maybe Ovie and Thomas can go hang out in the "No-Show" club

Has that ever happened before? An All-Star suspended at the break?
I get that he's pissed but the game is for the fans. I can't see his agent being happy about that move.

Nathan Horton's out with a concussion courtesy of a high hit to the head that lead to the Bruins killing a penalty and no review of the hit. I'm not sure whats going on with Shanny right now.
