Shawn Thornton, Steak Returner
‘Grumpy’ Shawn Thornton Gets Picky When It Comes to His Steaks and Five Other Bruins Thoughts
“We always gave Thorty [crap] because he was always sending the steaks back,” Parros said when the Ducks visited Boston just before Christmas. “He was never happy with his steaks. He’s just a grumpy guy. He’s gone from all those AHL games to sending back steaks in the nicest steakhouses in the NHL.”
One would think Thornton would have been happy with anything he got at a nice restaurant after all those years of fast food on long bus trips in the minors, but the Bruins enforcer confirmed the story.
“That bastard, he let it out of the cage,” Thornton said of Parros. “He is correct on that. I did send a few steaks back. I like my steak mooing, and they have a habit of overcooking it. If you’re paying 60 bucks for a piece of meat, it better be cooked right.”
