Washington Capitals fans taunt Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas with President Obama masks and poster
The eyes of a nation’s capital were on Bruins goalie Tim Thomas Monday night, and those eyes were peering through President Obama masks.
Thomas, who riled up some folks by standing up Obama when the defending Stanley Cup champions visited the White House earlier this year, was heckled by Washington Capitals fans — not unexpectedly — Monday night for his political posturing.
Fans hoped to get under the Conn Smythe winner’s skin by showing up with Obama masks and posters, a movement that was organized by a number of Capitals bloggers.
