I heard this info on team 1040 yesterday, they were surprised that it came from dave hodge, who is
so proper all of the time, and I am surprised that it was actually allowed on the air.
I couldn't even begin to know if there is any reason for the K K K for his children,
probably just a coincidence, i'm sure.
but if one thinks about it, when they were having their children, they should have noticed that
they allready had two children starting with the letter K, and when a third one came along, I
know if it were my husband and I, we would have noticed that immediately, and made sure to 'not'
use K another time.
can you imagine the kidding those kids will get from friends etc., later when that little fact
is noticed.

Some people get hooked on this thing where all the kids have the same initials. To me, it's silly, but to each his own.
I'm surprised that Dave Hodge would tweet that, it was obviously supposed to be funny.
Let's not forget that Michael Jordan skipped going to the White House, to play a round of golf, back in 1991.

Jeezus people, do you honestly think that Hodge seriously suggest the kids' names start with K because Thomas is a racist loony? My god, get a grip on your brains. The outrage over this is pathetic.

sure its a parents right to name their kids whatever they want, tree, leaf, cloud, sunshine,
nincompoop, but I still find it unusual to have the three Ks as your kids names, and there is no
way they would have done that, and not noticed what they had done.
Sure everyone has the freedom to think whatever they want, but he put himself above his teamates, he should
have gone with them, kept his feelings to himself, 'sucked it up', and shared with them what that
trip actually meant, and it wasn't a photo op for the president, it is a tradition for all american
stanley cup winners, part of the celebration, and he has pissed off the top brass of the boston bruins,
and even though they will keep it quiet, (because THEY will think, team first), many of his teamates
too.
His political beliefs should be put forward on a different day, and in a different format, not part
of his teams celebration, and not part of his team at all.
He sure didn't mind wearing the stars and stripes on his olympic sweater, when he played for the u.s.
and stood proud to accept the silver medal, proud to be an american, 'I think not', but he pretended
in that format, why couldn't he pretend in this format.
me me me me, that is the stand he took.

I don't know, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using the first letters of anybody's names to spell anything, word or anagram. Drawing conclusions about someone's character on the basis of the first letter of their kids' names is, well, unstable. Maybe they're juist Kind Knowledgeable Kids.

I can't say that I agree with his decision to not go to the Whitehouse(since the whole reason for the team going there had nothing to do with politics, as the St. Louis Cardinals went there as well), but since he lives in a democratic country he has the right to decline. If the team made it mandatory(which they probably wouldn't do, since they wouldn't want to risk ticking off their #1 goalie) then it would be a different story.

If it proves to be true that Timmie has political aspirations after he retires and with his contract up this July we may find out sooner rather than later - all this publicity is money in the bank. I doubt there are many households in the US who have not in some way or other heard the name, Tim Thomas.

allows him to be traded, (a clause in his 'no trade' contract), just the one year when it is free
of that stipulation.
If they don't trade him away sooner, i'm sure they will then.
The management is very upset about his actions, and they tried for some time to convince him to
change his mind before they went to the white house, but he would not.

Agree or not, it's interesting that he stuck to his beliefs. I like Obama calling Marchand a ' little ball of hate'.

I always enjoy his chats, and he has such a good sense of humour.
I really enjoyed him the other morning, because all the radio guys trash the all star week, and talk
about it as though it is absolutely useless, BUT when he talked about it, I was so glad, because
he saw it just as I do, a celebration of the league, and it is all about the city of ottawa, and
the families and the children, and he also said (and he was part of an all star game) that the
players enjoy each other, and the stress is all gone out of their lives that week, and they can
hang out with players they usually can't even talk to.
He said he was very excited when he was in the all star game, just a young guy, and got to talk
to mario lemeaux, and other super stars, and felt very lucky to be there.
It is not about radio announcers, or about a competetive game, where they hit and shove each
around, it about F U N.
