BOSTON (CBS) Youve seen arenas pull stunts like white outs, where all the fans in attendance wear white shirts for big games, but the crowd for Game 3 between the Capitals and Bruins on Monday evening could debut the first ever Obama out.
Russian Machine Never Breaks, a Capitals hockey blog, posted Sunday that the best way for Capitals fans to get into the head of Bruins goalie Tim Thomas will be to turn every fan in attendance into President Barack Obama.
Thomas, of course, skipped the Bruins visit to the White House in January. The netminder later explained that it was not about politics or party and was instead a statement about the federal government growing out of control.
Despite that explanation, the blog (sarcastically, it should be noted), states it has irrefutable proof that Tim Thomass performance in net is tied to the popularity of the American President.
The blog then encourages fans to print out some posters. The first is an image of Obamas head, with the words, I missed you at the White House, Tim. The second is Obamas famous Hope poster, with the addition you get pulled underneath. The final image is another of Obamas face, with dotted lines to cut out the eyes and wear as a mask.
Cut out the eyeholes on the mask, tie it in front of your ugly mug, and give Thomas a warm welcome to Washington, D.C., the most powerful city on Earth, the blog said. This is your moment to shine.
Thomas has allowed just 0.83 goals per game in the first two contests of the series, stopping 54 of the 56 shots hes faced.
Because despite the mewling whines of Leave Timmy alone! coming from the Boston area we believe this is a winning strategy, the blog said. An angry Tim Thomas gives up goals. A scored-on Tim Thomas gets angrier. And then he gives up even more goals. Its a vicious cycle, and we just need to get it started.
Before you get too upset, the blog notes, Were just having a laugh and ribbing the other team. As long as we take a deep breath before speaking and keep our senses of humor in tact, I think we can do this with some degree of civility. Go team.
Will it IS Washington DC after all, which voted 90% for Obama in 2008. They probably would wear the masks regardless of who is playing.
Too bad. Will have to cheer for the Bruins now. I also would love to see the Bruins play the Flyers in the next round. That will be a battle!
Good grief...this is so middle-school, even for the eternal adolescent Democrats.
really??
or did they mean something like:
Since Thomas is a big TEA Party patriotic American, the correct response would be for all of the Boston fans to wear Indian stuff and maybe some John Adams and Paul Revere masks when they play in Boston. That would really anger the D.C. Freeloaders.
These folks remind anyone else of uhm, is it baboons, who taunt, jeer and throw their poop to show displeasure?

Caps fans ought to wear masks of Mary Jo Kopechne, to remind the filthy verminous invaders from Massachusetts of their complicity in Ted Kennedy’s murder of Mary Jo.
