Shawn Thornton was in the Boston area again for his annual Putts and Punches charity event. Today’s golf tournament was sponsored by his foundation, and the money raised goes to fighting Parkinson’s disease and cancer. Thornton is the kind of player that the media loves. His straight forward, blunt talk usually makes for good sound bytes and the former Bruins enforcer still talks honestly.
