Thornton Predicts Lockout To Last All Season
By Mike Reed
Joe Thornton
Great find from the guys over at Puck Daddy: In an interview with Berner Zeitung, Sharks Captain Joe Thornton was interviewed. The article is mostly a puff piece, with Thornton talking about how Davos is a second home, how nice it is there, and how the last lockout provided him one of the best years of his career (ed: thanks to Google Translator for providing some lay of the land).
However, the final quote in the article is also its most telling; Thornton states he’s now expecting to play the full season in Switzerland. Yowza.
