Thornton returns to practice, feeling good

Just thought I'd post this story from practice today after talking to Shawn Thornton. Some good Thorty quotes as usual. Looks like he has a chance to return after the All-Star break.

This is good news.. I think we could have used him in the last 2 games.

Especially against Winnipeg.

Yeah and hes like the only guy i feel like we could have sitting 5 minutes without losing to much.

His physicality is missed.

Definitely could've used him out there the last couple games. He knows exactly when he needs to do his thing, AND when not to.
