Shawn Thornton Says Boston is Home

In the Bruins’ end of year media availability, fourth liner Shawn Thornton — the fan favorite and lovable enforcer — said he intends to keep his family in Boston, even if his services are no longer wanted with the Bruins.

“I’m hoping I’m back,” Thornton said. I don’t know, I haven’t had a meeting yet. If not, I’m still going to be in the community and still going to be here. This is where we live now, this is home. That stuff isn’t going to change.”
