Joe Thornton would blow our minds if he scored four goals
After teammate Tomas Hertl made headlines for his four-goal performance against the New York Rangers, Sharks captain Joe Thornton spoke to The Province and said what he'd do if he were to put up for goals in a night. It's a little profane.
I’d have my cock out if I scored four goals. I’d have my cock out, stroking it.
We can glean two things from this. 1) Someone should let Joe Thornton score four goals just to see if he follows through with this and 2) Joe Thornton is pretty much the best.
Twitter, of course, exploded at the news of an NHL player having a personality. Even Joe's brother weighed in.
meanwhile in SJ, mom has the soap in hand for the brother's dirty mouth. am I now the good kid?

Sadly, however...
Joe Thornton scored seven goals all of last season. That's an empty threat and he knows it.
