This **** just gets better and better. After Chiarelli confirming Timmy might not return to the Bruins next season due to either family issues or fatigue, Timmy decided to lay it all out there with these two facebook status updates.*Sigh* Timmy's a master at turning a PR disaster into a PR ************.Sure, the economy is more important than hockey but if that's the reason you're taking a year off, what the ****, dude? It's cool though. Timmy's just trying to save the world one facebook status update at a time. Just like those college kids.  I'm telling you- Tim Thomas is just screwing with all of us for the fun of it. There's no other explanation for some of the things he does. — Scott McLaughlin (@smclaughlin9) June 3, 2012 Man. If only. We're kinda hoping this will be Timmy's next update.No one can argue against that.Stay tuned as we're sure this snowball of **** continues to get bigger.
