It's great that the league is cracking down on players and not giving anyone "special treatment" aka the "being a Bruins rule"

pure.life 01-23-2012 04:23 PM

Marchand incident, Ference suspension, Tim Thomas' decision.. and the Bruins reputation as a reckless hockey club with their style of play... negativity is starting to surround the club. About time they don't get special treatment from the NHL:fullofwin:

I liked Thomas before, but like him even more. I'm surprised there's a huge backlash on his refusal to visit the White house. Don't people realize that hockey's just a form of entertainment, what he stands for, albeit a bit vague, still trumps the "celebrations" It's sad people aren't seeing that their liberties are slowly being taken away.

I'm a hockey fan, like certain players, especially battlers. Thomas had that Cloutier aggressiveness with skill to boot.


how can you not like that hit? I'd have him on my team any day!

Tim Thomas doesn't care about black people.

never of heard of that person. :badpokerface:

DanHibiki 01-23-2012 05:44 PM

Us Canuck fans have no choice but to hate him.

Canucks fans hate Bruins.
Thomas is a Bruin.
Therefore we must hate Thomas.

Sorry wish there was something I can do about it.

i think its done usually coinciding with their games vs the washington capitals

twixxer 01-23-2012 05:46 PM

What i don't get is how is Thomas can be a republican. I understand if he just doesn't like Obama or thinks he did a poor job. But really like Romney or Newt Gingrich would have been any better? :suspicious:

The other problem i have with it was this was about the Bruins as champions and it didn't have anything to do with politics. Thomas made it that.

You could become a HOCKEY fan,

Hockey fans love great hockey plays by great hockey players
Thomas is a great hockey player
Therefore we must like Thomas

You have to give credit, where credit is due.

sindragon 01-23-2012 05:53 PM

lol hope timmy is supporting RON PAUL. If it was live television and I was a bruins, i would grab obama's mic while he is joking around with the players and say "USA IS DOOMED without ron paul!" I never will support Obama.

edit: GO TIMMY!

I know and I do. I'm semi-trolling/supporting Canucks 100%.

I am a hockey fan first. Thomas IS a good goalie.

But I still hate his guts :P



I also like Iginla as a player but hate him as a Flame.

I probably wouldn't have said that 4 years ago when the rivalry was still hot though but now that they suck I'm not in hate-mode anymore.

TheKingdom2000 01-23-2012 06:19 PM

Shanny explains the suspension.
I agree. Ovi LOVES to leave his feet.

Durrann 01-23-2012 06:57 PM

What's dumb about the 'being a Republican' excuse is that everything Obama's doing follows Republican ideals.

It's like the people with power said 'okay, we're gonna put a guy in office who's gonna be a Democrat, but everything he's gonna do will be Republican - but don't worry, he'll be black so people won't complain as bad as if he was white"

RRxtar 01-23-2012 08:18 PM

The Bruins were invited to the White House to celebrate the sport like every other championship team at the United States Capitol. Its not like they were invited to the Democratic national convention.

It was a completely non political event and Thomas had to make it political. Its about representing your sport in front of your country, not making a political statement.

There is only 3 Americans on the bruins roster too.

Whats next, Thomas keeps his helmet on and doesn't stand for the Canadian anthem because hes an american?
