MBANC17 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Ugh...I hate politics. Can we keep the political shots and posts out of this thread and just be happy that the guys got to have this experience? Doesn't matter who is in office, etc....what matters is that they were guests at the White House because of their achievement. I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheseGoTo11 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Thought it was cool that the remarks included Julia Rowe. She was a pretty important part of the championship, so I'm happy to see her get her props. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanesGrrrl Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Where's Whitney and why isn't he putting bunny ears on W? Good questions, both. And who's that in the top right corner? Is that Pete Friesen? Hard to tell. Looks like Matt Cullen made it too (top left). Guess A. Ward took a pass though. Does anyone else find it ironic that there are only three US-born players in that photo? Aaron Ward was there. He stood in between Cam and Nic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IceFrog999 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Yeah, a lot of the guys didn't seem to keen on Bush. Look at Staal in the above picture: daggers. And there's too many political jokes that can be made, so I'll just end my post here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wardo-30 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 A. Ward was there as well and so was Gerber and Whitney was there as well. On WRAL.com they have a video and at the end you can see everyone else as he goes through and shakes all their hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nashcountycane1 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Pic looks pretty funny. Stiller seems to be looking down at something. ANybody think George W. maybe had a hole in his pants and Stiller doesnt wanna laugh? :lol: :mrgreen: I SURE hope this re-motivates the guys again. Glad to read Cullen, A. Ward and Gerbs were all there too. Wonder if they had to sit at the BACK of the bus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caniacfromappstate Report post Posted February 3, 2007 This has nothing to do with politics but I don't think Bush should have received a ring. I think the jersey was a nice gesture. I think they could have given him another ring with the canes logo on it but not one with the stanley cup. also I don't remember but did the Lightning do this?
