Mr. Timonen goes to Washington

There was one reason to cheer for the Chicago Blackhawks to win the Stanley Cup last season: Kimmo Timonen. It was Timonen's last ride in the NHL, and the Philadelphia Flyers traded him both for assets, and for one last shot at glory.

He got it, we were all extremely happy and probably cried a little, he got his day with the Cup, and that was that.

Well, mostly. There was still one other matter of business to take care of: the annual winner's trip to the White House.
