During Thursday's White House briefing, a reporter asked whether President Trump was rooting for the Washington Capitals or the New York Rangers.

"Respectfully, that really isn't a question that's come up," Trump spokesman Sean Spicer replied.

Given the timing — the U.S. military dropped one of the largest conventional bombs in its inventory on an Islamic State compound earlier on Thursday — and the fact that the briefing was on the shorter side, the reporter's question wasn't well received on Twitter.
