pimpcurtly Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You know what when I type out the songs I had originally typed Kitty instead of Lumps, but Lumps is a more recognized song. Damn I messed that one up eh. Kitty is an awesome song. FU kitty outside!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Shakermaker Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thoughts? Can't really hear what he says that well, but class act imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Situation Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wow, you got so sucked into the Thomas-Obama thing...its a good laugh and all, but seriously, whats wrong with it? Past players haven''t went, so whats so different if he didn't? And not to mention, he said he has the right to, and he does, so don't think him not going showed he was a villain, cause he just didn't want to.

lateralus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 gotta just be his kids. i'm sorry but everytime i've seen this guy interviewed he comes across as a sarcastic pr!ck. Great goaltender, but I am not in the slightest a fan of him as a person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown33429 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 People like Thomas because he looks like a nice guy with the beard and all. I've heard on the wings forum that apparently "he looks like a big teddy bear," which is apparently why Ashleigh so vehemently defends him. If he looked like Dave Bolland/Marchand, people would not be so quick to defend him. It's funny to see the superficiality of our society in different contexts.

UFCanuck Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 He should have told the kid something useful. Like "look at me, this is what happens when you eat 10 donuts a day " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_of_Spades Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It seems like a lot of people are ignorant of the crap Thomas has pulled in past. Waving at a kid supposedly makes up for it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_of_Spades Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 not to mention all the stupid crap he did and pulled on the Nucks players.... how anyone could stand up for this guy is beyond me.... give your head a shake people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I hate Tim Thomas. But this is classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 he didn't compare obama to hitler. he quoted someone who was talking about the progressive ascension of the Nazi regime to illustrate how he believes it's possible for rights to be taken away little by little without people realizing it until it's too late. obviously i don't think that of the US government, but he really never compared obama to hitler. it's a big stretch to interpret that as comparing obama to hitler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Personally who cares what his political beliefs are? Everyone has their own and they should be respected. Does that mean he's not a classy player or a bad one, I don't think so. As a Nucks' fan who lives in the US, I can't stand Obama. But that's a personal opinion.

Guest BuckFoston Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thomas ain't a class act. Remember that time he refused to meet the president? I think Dave Hodge was on to something when he said that all three of Thomas' kids names start with K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNACanuck Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I personally don't think his political views are important. He can choose to support or hate whoever he wants. His views aren't extremist nor are they inappropriate. TT not going to the whitehouse is his choice. I think it shows more class and character to stand up for what you believe. For those that question his behavior and the white house I would ask how many of you would not be blinded by the whitehouse visit and stand up for your political beliefs? I can't stand Obama anymore and I voted for the guy. I sure wouldn't visit him if I was on a team that did. That is a persons right as a citizen and voter in the USA. This isn't North Korea where you have to raise your pom-pom because Kim Jong-il says so. TT like the our own Canucks have done alot for the community. Before people go and judge someone completely by their on ice behavior how about taking into account what they've done for the community. I'm sure he's done alot more than some of the people passing judgement on him right now in these post. Besides who cares Boston is out playing golf like we are this year and there sure won't be another whitehouse visit for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Don't know if it's been said but.. According to Haggerty, a Bruins writer, it was his daughter who he was telling to cheer up. Joe Haggerty @HackswithHaggs Reply RetweetedRetweet Delete FavoritedFavorite · Close Open Details Tim Thomas said the "smile" motion he made behind bench on ice right after Gm 7 was to his 7YO daughter, who was crying. TT got her to smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNACanuck Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I am no TT fan or the Bruins but I give him credit for teaching his daughter an important lesson. Maybe if more people taught their kids how to react to a loss we wouldn't have so many idiots try and burn down Van last year. Any decent parent could respect what Thomas did for his daughter.

Industrious1 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sometimes the best time to judge someones character is when the chips are down, which they certainly were for Boston at that point. He doesn't seem like quite the self-posessed egomaniac he has been painted as this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
