Pears Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 He broke Eric Cole's neck. One hit doesn't make a player 'one of the dirtiest in the league' lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW23 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Orpik's hit was clean Yeah I agree. I meant Thornton is an idiot. He tried to fight Orpik. He backed down... The whole scenario reminds me of the Bertuzzi incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau5trap Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Wonder what Dr. Recchi has to say about this as well. He musta flopped or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex the Great Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Cherry is pretty upset by the whole incident. Feels Thornton defintely crossed the line. Cherry has a very upset vibe going right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 This is as bad as the Bertuzzi incident. I fully expect Orpik to press charges and wouldn't be surprised if Thornton spends time in the slammer for assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 At least Colton Orr has the decency to protect Parros' head as they fall to the ice. What is this puke doing hitting someone in the head on the way down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Meh Orpik has a history of hitting guys in vulnerable positions and running away from fights. Not saying he deserved but sooner or later someone was going to issue some sort of receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam13371337 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 this is disgusting. this is not part of hockey (and im a STRONG supporter of fighting/physical play) this is blatant assault. Thornton should get throw out of the NHL... This is todd bertuzzi level of assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xWCMx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My initial reactions in watching that are the same as some expressed in this thread. I had immediate flashbacks to the Bertuzzi incident. That was terrible to watch, and one of the worst plays I've ever seen. I REALLY sincerely hope the NHL handles this appropriately. And I am saying all of this without bias that it's a Bruins player.

Brad Bellick^ Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 POS. Get him out of the league. No place for that in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan kesler the beast Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Dirty.. Wow... See that crap needs to be suspended for 15-20 games. Body checking and fighting does not need to be taken out of games this stuff does. Figures it's boston too... Dirty team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xWCMx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 This. IMO, Moore also deserved to get punched in the face - but that doesn't mean it wasn't assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_P Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 With a HIT. He didn't fricken come up from behind, slewfoot the guy and then punch him several times while he was down breaking his neck. With a hit he didn't have to make. Look, he's the same as dustin brown a hit an run player who tries to hurt guys and will never answer the bell. What do you expect is gonna happen. Even Matt Cooke fought Thornton when he had to answer fhe bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
