The fact that there's any blowback at all about this being printed is part of the problem for me... Hockey should embrace these kinds of things getting press. Oh good lord, the star players actually have personality? In hockey? God forbid.

As awesome as that quote was, it does hurt Thornton's image and ability to get sponsorships
Also, im sure deep down Joe wouldnt want kids who look up to him and tell him, "I hope you score 4 goals and get to whip out your c*ck out tonight"
It's the same reason why they don't have the bench and penalty box mic'd up and allowing an unsensored broadcast of the game
