The Pittsburgh Penguins visited the White House to celebrate their Stanley Cup victory and President Obama had some pretty funny remarks for the team and Gary Bettman.
First, Obama celebrated how big of an achievement this was … especially for Phil Kessel.

That’s a pretty solid joke for someone who doesn’t really follow hockey.
Obama followed it up by questioning the NHL commish on the Presidents’ Trophy.
To Bettman: "I'm going to need you to explain how something called the Presidents' Trophy is not the highest trophy." pic.twitter.com/oGKRpfNCw6

Fair point, Mr. President.
We’ll rally around anyone who pokes fun at Gary Bettman.
