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?
