Shawn Thornton does not want to hear about the swine flu.
“You guys make such a big deal about it,’’ the colorful forward said while Morris was asked about precautions the team was taking.
Hand sanitizer dispensers are aplenty around the Bruins’ facilities since center David Krejci contacted the H1N1 virus. Krejci has been quarantined from the team while he recovers. The recent developments in Calgary - two Albertans died from the disease this week and two Flames employees have been fired amid accusations of vaccine diversions as pregnant women and children stood in lines to get vaccinated - have not caused a panic.
“There you go, there’s my answer,’’ Morris said after Thornton’s remarks. “There’s nothing we can do, man - if we get it, we get it. Wash your hands, that’s what I tell my kids, ‘Wash your hands.’ ’’
Said goalie Tim Thomas, “The H1N1 virus has been around since the ’70s. Yes, it’s been more prevalent this year, but I don’t expect it to be a problem.’’
