On Twitter:
Yahoo’s Ryan Lambert: btw congrats to tim thomas for making a pouty political decision and distracting from what should’ve been a memorable day for his teammates

Former NHL general manager Craig Button: Certain that Tim Thomas has team mates that don’t share his political or ideological beliefs. Will he not show up for games because of that?

Damien Cox: Gotta say, really quite disappointing to learn Tim Thomas is, well, apparently a crackpot. This sure adds an element to all-star weekend.
