Meh. Were it a listener of Keith Olbermann and he skipped out on Dubya, he'd be lauded for exercising his right as an American. /Meh.

Olbermann is as big an idiot as Beck.

Reports coming out now that he did miss because he's a "staunch republican". I don't know, seems kind of tacky to refuse to meet the President, even if you dislike his political positions.

Its absolutely political...BUT, he will be called a racist instead.

Might be something to that. He wasn't very nice to Simmonds in the shootout yesterday.

Eh, not a big deal in my opinion. America is a free place for that kind of stuff, the last time I checked.

Yeah, he beat him like Kunta Kinte.

It's not racist, just disrespectful to the office, like it was when LaRussa and Pujols refused to go with the Cards and when Chmura refused to meet Clinton. If I was on a championship team, I'd certainly meet the President, regardless of who it was or his leanings...because it's a TEAM event.

Yep. That's also why I am free to be critical of him for deciding to do so.

Hell, he should have gone because it's a TEAM event.

It's people like Tim Thomas that are tearing this country apart.

I didn't say it WAS racist, I said he would be called a racist. Standard OP for the left anytime someone disagrees with the Class President and Chief.

I'm sure it will be called that by some idiot...I'm betting money it will be Olbermann.

And by the way, I hate the guy too, but would absolutely NOT pass up a chance to meet him, because he is the President Of The United States. How many chances does one get to do that?

You are probably right. Is Olbermann still alive?

Yes, he's just on another network nobody watches.

No idea. I lean left, but I don't need to have my opinions re-enforced by a jackass trying to be the liberal Limbaugh.

Oh so basically nothing has changed since he left MSNBC lol.

You can dissagree with the President in this country. Doesn't mean you have to act like a wussy and not go to the White House when he chooses to honor your team.

must be all of that flopping about.

There is a lot of room to work a contract down for someone that is 26. Give him a 10 year deal that makes the cap hit 5.5, then give him bonuses and a NTC, not a NMC.

I wasn't arguing with you...

In judging a goal he let in as soft, that's an opinion. Whether that opinion is soft or not soft. But that he made a bunch of quality saves in the game that helped his team gain a point, or the numbers I posted for his last 3 games. That is not spin. That is a fact.
- MJL

Can you prove that those "quality" saves that Bryz made are indeed quality level? How do you know that Joe Blow couldn't have made those saves with ease? So, the fact that you are referring to them as "quality" saves is indeed YOUR OPINION.

Stupid SCALR ate my original response.

- Flyer_Nation71

I think anyone with even a slight hint of knowledge about the sport can go to the Flyers website, and watch the save highlights, and know that they're looking at some quality saves. If you don't feel he made any quality saves in the game, your certainly entitled to that opinion.

Meh, I would've went.
- MBFlyerfan

I would have gone when DuhBya was in office...and told him he (frank)ing sucked donkey balls.
