President of the United States Barack Obama hosted his annual Stanley Cup visit to the White House Monday afternoon, however, not every member of the championship-winning Boston Bruins team was present.
The Bruins' star goaltender Tim Thomas declined the invitation to attend the visit, in which Obama congratulated the team for both their Stanley Cup win, and their work in the community.
Thomas was a vital part of the Bruins' winning the Stanley Cup, as his .938 SVP and 2.00 GAA were enough to win him the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goalie last season.
He was instrumental in getting the Bruins into the playoffs, where he posted an even better .940 SVP and 1.98 GAA, en route to a shutout in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. He was honored for his heroic playoff antics by winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
The Boston Bruins have declared that a statement will be made on Thomas's Facebook page tonight, so keep posted.
