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.
Thomas posted an explanation for his absence from
the ceremony on Facebook early Monday evening.
"I believe the Federal government has grown
out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the
People," Thomas' statement read. "This is being done at the
Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the
Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government." http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=385861
My Take:
Although I personally don’t agree with anything tea-party it’s
Tim Thomas’ decision not mine, your or anyone else’s including Bruins’
management. Mostly I think he’s denying
himself a special day but it’s his decision to make. No one could make me go to the White House if
Ron Paul or Michelle Bachman got elected so I guess I ee his point.
