Connolly won't go to White House if Capitals are invited

Brett Connolly isn't interested in going to the White House should the Washington Capitals be feted by U.S. President Donald Trump.

"Personally, I don’t think I’m going to go ... it has nothing to do with politics," Connolly told reporters, including theScore's John Matisz, at BioSteel camp Wednesday. "For me, I just don’t think it’s the right thing to do.

“Everyone is entitled to their opinion," he added. "I think there’ll be a few guys not going, too. Like I said, it has nothing to do with politics, it’s about what’s right and wrong, and we’ll leave it at that.”

Devante Smith-Pelly said back in June that he already had his mind made up and criticized the president for his "racist and sexist" rhetoric.
