The Capitals have already expressed some interest in visiting the White House as the NHL's newest Stanley Cup champions, but at least one of their players won't be making the trip.

During the Stanley Cup Final, Caps forward Devante Smith-Pelly, who is one of the NHL's few black players, said that he would likely skip a trip to the White House thanks to his distaste for Donald Trump and the things the president has said in the past. Nearly a week after winning the Cup, Smith-Pelly stood his ground on the matter.

ll the US players, Ovi and the other Russians and most of the Canadian players have pretty much all said they’d be honored to go if invited. Smith-Pelly is literally all alone in acting like an asshat.

I swear I read his name as devante smelly.

Agree what has Trump say against blacks? Oh their unemployment numbers are too big. I’ll fix that. Create jobs. Fixed

Besides he needs the time off to meet with an orthodontist

[A_Former_Democrat]

It’s not with TRUMP said . . .

It’s what his (their) plantation masters say

[beergarden]

Ovechkin is pals with Jared and Ivanka. Collusion indeed!

[lesko]

Screw the hyphen

[lee martell]

Don’t go then. Stay home and braid your hair, while listening to Snoop Dog talk about ‘Dem B*tches’.
Where are you going to put your Kaep Tattoo?

Trump should put a tariff/tax on NHL Hockey.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Canadians used to pride themselves on being polite.

[EEGator]

A hyphenated Black Canadian, lol.

[Paladin2]

Then put a YUGE Tariff on him.

[Paladin2]

Make him only speak French.

Let’s get a pic of PDJT holding the Stanley Cup overhead.

That would be great.

[SamuraiScot]

Caps forward Devante . . .

Hang on. Isn't that a girl's name?

[Kozy]

Say here’s a problem for you and I don’t respect Trump. You are a rich athlete. What have you done to help blacks? Trump created jobs. Think more blacks like Trump then even know who you are.

When you push and push and push to make everything about race, don't be surprised when, one of these inevitable days, the entire meme blows up in your face.

Smelly is probably just pissed that President Trump treats Justin “The Beaver” Trudeau like a little kid.

[MrEdd]

Who cares about Deviant Pit-Smelly?

[jimmygrace]

Obviously upset at the historically low black unemployment rate.
