- The current Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins visited the White House yesterday, but goalie and Conn Smythe winner Tim Thomas declined the invitation. He later posted an explanation on Facebook for the snub, in which he argued that he was dissatisfied with the growing size of the 'Federal government.'
