Tim Thomas: “I’m tired of foreigners coming to America and trying to take our jobs!” Tuukka Rask: “Dude, I’m standing right here.”

This isn't a political forum and I've already said more than I should have. I'm done. You should be too. Lets keep it to hockey. It is better that way anyway.

each time the Flyers are called for a penalty, i think its political. they are innocent of all infractions.

Seen a mock draft for the upcoming 2012 Hockey Draft.

Obviously its early and things can change but they have the Flyers selecting Michael Matheson.

Some info on the kid.

Yeah but would they meet the President if they could?
- hockeylover

I doubt they know who the president is. I don't even know if they have a president in Czechloslovakia why should jagr know who the president is here?

So are ya'll Elephants or Donkeys?

The mock drafts I have seen have as many as 15 dmen being taken in the first round. It's supposedly a very deep draft.

That country doesn't exist anymore - may want to buy a world map printed in the 2000's

It's a moot point, the Flyers first is going to be shipped out at the deadline in part of one of those Blockbuster-HockeyBuzzian deals.

ok tough guy - again I have no doubt you would have said that to the president's face with the secret service staring down at you. Maybe throw a shoe too?

I have respect for the office so I'd have probably used less colorful language than "you suck donkey balls" but I'd have told him that I thought he was a presidential screw up. Politicians are there to serve the people and they deserve to hear what the people think. I am politically active at the state level where I live. I have sat down in the offices of state senators and state reps and spoke my mind. I am not afraid to let them know when I strongly disagree with them. Congratulations for calling me out on my colorful language...oh my, you got me now!..."tough guy".

If he's a defenseman, and the Flyers pick him in the first round, chances are that he's a stiff.

I was being sarcastic. I couldn't friggin care less if Tim Thomas goes to see the President or not.

I highly doubt it will ruin Barry's day. Still plenty of time to work on his NCAA brackets afterwards and save us all from ourselves.

He is a defenseman...only time will tell if he is a stiff though.

Saw Cody Ceci this weekend in Ottawa, that's a kid I'd move up to draft. Was outstanding in every phase you could think of. Good size, skating, hands, in all 3 zones, power play, PK, positionally.

guess that really proves my point! Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone from the Chech Republic (is that right?).

So you would have used a team event congratulating you and your teammates to voice your opinions? How does that go - "hello Mr. president - hate your policies - smile for the camera"? Sounds like the appropriate time and place.

They may deserve to hear what people think but they don't listen or act on it anyway.

Then Gleason will be in Carolina, cause no team is giving that up.

Move away from racist comment videos & politics
