Shawn Thornton for President

Not of the US or Canada.  But for the United Nations of Bad Ass Mutha F——

I said, "No. New. Taxes."

Last night, Boston Bruin (and Foxy Friday honoree) Shawn Thornton had one hell of a game vs. the Winnipeg Jets.

Not only did he beat up on the Jets’ Mark Stuart like he stole his lunch money, but he also scored this BEAUTY of a shorthanded goal…and on a penalty shot, no less.  Watch it [here].

Did I mention this guy is a 4th line grinder?  4th LINE!  Sick mitts, ya’ll.

Ain't no thang, but a chicken wing.

That goal came on Thorty’s FIRST ever attempt at a penalty shot in his career.  He put the extra spicy sauce on that thing. 

Even Timmeh loves it.

FREE HUGS!!

In the locker room after the Bruins’ 5-3 win, he was joking with reporters that that is a move that he’s been practicing with Tuukka Rask during practice for a while. [Video]

 

Well, Mr. Thornton.  Looks like all that practice paid off.

Without a doubt, ST22 is one of the most affable and popular players on the Bruins.  The fans and the city love him and I think that he loves them right back.

And isn’t that what you want in your President?

  1. Timmy’s face! His face! And yes, Thornton does look very campaign-ready in that last photo.

    • Timmeh is soooo heppy. He loves his friend Shawn.

      The sport coat is killing me in that photo. What is that…velvet?

    • Also, he looks like he’s about ready to burst out of that jacket like the Hulk.

    I love Thorty!!!! He is actually a friend of mine. I know him from his playing days in the AHL in Norfolk. He was a fan favorite back then too! Glad to see he had a good game against the Jets! Can’t wait to see him when The B’s come to Carolina on Saturday!!

    • Thorty is the best. He’s like the perfect player for the Bruins and the city of Boston.

      Mainly because he looks like he should be hanging in South Boston wearing a skally cap and a track suit, hanging with the Irish Mob.

    Would that be one Mark Stuart, formerly of the Bruins? Who I met and could NOT stand?!

    Oh my stars, I find that tres amusing!

    Timmeh hugs yay! You know Thorty went right there first!

    And my Charlestown-based big brother (and who lives a couple streets away) informs us that, yes, they love Thorty and he loves them!

    Yes, I’m a fair weather fan (old die hart fan) I’m jumping on board now because of a team made up of players like Shawn T, I got my “B” sweat shirt, and a hat. Now I’m checking the schedule for the next game
