| "What's that, Timmy, you want me to bring you a doggy bag from the White House?" |
Today was the annual Stanley Cup Champions' trip to the White House to meet the President of the United States, Barack Obama, for those who didn't know. It was filled with some unusual controversy, due to Tim Thomas' absence. I wasn't at the White House today, but I can tell you that the day went something like this:
7:16 AM - Claude Julien takes attendance of his team getting on the bus. Everyone is accounted for...except Tyler Seguin.
7:17 AM - Zdeno Chara hits his head trying to get on the bus.
7:18 AM - Mark Recchi diagnoses Chara with concussion-like symptoms, just to clear that up.
7:27 AM - Tyler Seguin arrives. "Sorry coach, my alarm clock was set for Washingon D.C. time."
9:15 AM - Tim Thomas says he's hungry. The bus driver pulls over and Thomas checks into Dunkin Donuts.
9:18 AM - Someone with a large mustache gets on the bus, so the driver figures Thomas is back.
