TT was 9-9 in shootout stops allowed one in BUT made the stop to win the game. Tough back to back over the weekend but split against the Flymen and Rangers. B's continue to play well against the Flymen during the season haven't lost to them since my B-day 2007....9-0-1
Go Bruins!

Tim Thomas is free to have whatever opinion he wants, but being invited to the White House is a once-in-a-lifetime honor. It's something special to share with your team. Instead, he chose to completely overshadow that and become the story. Dissappointing.

Statement from Thomas about chosing not to go to the White House ...
Tim Thomas
I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. 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. 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
I respect his opinion not to go to the White House, after all, isn't a decision like that what this country is founded on?
That said ... it sucks for his teammates that this has become about him not going, instead of the rest of the team that is actually there.
I'm not going to call him selfish, but, he could have sucked it up for his team and posted something after the fact.

Luckily, the little ball of hate showed up, that's what Obama call Marchand.
But to say its not about politics or party is disingenuous
He's a Glenn beck t party guy...... That's cool, it's America after all. But to sell it as something else is BS. That's where I think he'll catch most of his flack

meh... all the arguments have already been made and heard.
it was a TEAM event and he should have been there. especially being the only american on the 2011 squad.
i am not singling out thomas. if a ranger ditched this event, i would be disappointed in them as well. put your political opinions aside and spend the afternoon with your teammates.
if he is disappointed in our country and how things are run, he should have turned down his invitation to the olympics to represent his country.

Two small points.
1) Steven Kampfer is from the US, played about half the season, and was at the White House today.
2) I would argue that the Olympics are where you want to take politics OUT of sport ... and the visit to the White House is where politics is directly.
I agreed that he made this about himself, but, just wanted to point this out.

Been a while since I've seen a B's game, they've played pretty damn well today, but Niklas Backstrom has been absolutely insane ... cant see the Bruins scoring today if that last Lucic chance didn't go in. Unreal.
Edit - Ends up with 49 saves ... and a good 10 of them were highlight saves.
Kudos to you Mr. Backstrom, helluva game.

A much needed win but the defense MUST improve if there's to a be a repeat of the CUP coming back to Boston.

Nice to see the boys tie it up. This may be a good game after all.
UPDATE: 2-1 Bs!
It was indeed a good game to win in a playoff atmosphere. nice win B's

Well, the 2 seed is locked (heck, they were the 3 seed last year) so time to rest up some guys for the grueling playoff run ahead.
Sadly, no matter who the first round team is, it'll be a tough matchup. So, lets just hope they all beat the shit out of each other over the next week and come into the opening series a little staggered.

I detect you're becoming a huge Marty Turco fan, eh?
You guys need one point in 3 games to lock up the top seed ... no need to sweat this one out.

I respect his opinion not to go to the White House, after all, isn't a decision like that what this country is founded on?
