The was the response that Bruins tough guy Shawn Thornton gave a local radio show in Boston when asked about Phil Kessel. This really shouldn't be a shock to anyone since we have heard a lot of rumblings in the off season about Kessel. Where ever Kessel has gone there have always been rumblings. Like in this story, Kessel's draft combine wasn't pretty.
”…..I don’t like him.”
Shawn Thornton stated the obvious this morning on the Toucher & Rich morning show and admitted he wasn’t the biggest fan of Phil Kessel. ”I don’t know if we’re better off without him, but I know he wasn’t the best fit.” Granted it took some prodding from the T&R, but it was nice to finally hear it. After discussing the team’s dynamic with & without Kessel, Thornton talked about the crowd’s reaction to Phil the Thrill’s return on Saturday night. “I hope he didn’t come here thinking he was going to get cheered whenever touched the puck.” He mentioned that there are some players who love getting the hate from the crowd, but from the looks of it, Phil isn’t one of them. Pitty. Not really. [According to Cameron Frye]
