Backlash, not for Thornton, but the Vancouver media:

Not sure 'ole Joe expected his joke to be published. He said it off camera while Marleau was in a scrum. Funny line, but OTR I thought.
Brodie Brazil@brodiebrazilCSN23m
Great job, Vancouver media: Things get said in jest all the time & are understood to be "off the record". Not surprised you'd print it.
