CB007 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Let me say on record that Shawn Thornton will be ever more popular in Boston now than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 There's some fans that defended bertuzzis actions lol. That statement doesn't represent all Bruins fan's opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I was trying to find is Thornton was ever suspended and I couldn't find any history. It's hard to believe but can anybody find anything on a suspension previously? If it's his first he might get off easier then if he has a few strikes on his record.. Hopefully I'm wrong.. Yes, you are correct. Shawn Thornton has never been suspended before during his NHL career so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lychees Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Don't give a flying fat frack who you are or who the victim is, that is absolute horsecrap and has no place anywhere. Really wanna see what Shanaban gives him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Worse than bertuzzi on moore as orpik didnt even do anything to warrant the attack.... Should get at least 2 games;) Get well Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Glad this puke will (hopefully) be suspended for the game against the Canucks. Don't want him slewfooting and beating on guys down on the ice for a hard hit. At least there will be more room for Sestito and Kassian to goon it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M A K A V E L I 96 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Way too much irony here. This was 3 days ago from Thornton. http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/27947/bruins-shawn-thornton-on-fighting Q: DOES THE CODE STILL EXIST? IS THAT SOMETHING YOU TAKE PRIDE IN/ABIDE BY? Thornton: I take a lot of pride in that. I do. People could probably criticize that I’m a little too honorable, I suppose, in some instances. I've been a firm believer my whole life that what goes around comes around. If you’re one of those guys that suckers someone when they’re down or you go after somebody that doesn’t deserve it or isn’t the same category as you, that will come back and bite you at some point, too.

Karlsson`s Flo 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. I was just about to say that. This definitely reminded me of the Bertuzzi/Moore incident. Thornton should definitely get the book thrown at him. That being said, if anyone saw the hit Orpik laid on Eriksson in the opening minutes of the game, you can understand why Thorton went straight for him. Orpik went in for the big hit (no intention of playing the puck), caught Eriksson with his head down and Eriksson went straight for the locker room without returning. Orpik chose never fight Chara, Lucic or Thorton when they challenged him after that hit and so there was nothing to satisfy the Bruins of what they saw as a a dirty hit to injure one of their star players. It does make you wonder if Orpik had just accepted the challenge to fight that he wouldn't have become the victim of a dirty cheap shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AriGold Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It get's even better, here are some words from Thornton a few days ago.. It's also a total head-scratcher when you consider Thornton's words on "the code" from just three days ago.From ESPN: I take a lot of pride in that. I do. People could probably criticize that I’m a little too honorable, I suppose, in some instances. I've been a firm believer my whole life that what goes around comes around.

Misconduct16 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thornton and Neal... What were both of them thinking. Both plays were absolutely disgusting, a complete black eye on all the excellent things that have been happening in hockey. I'm revolted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Shawn Thornton is a piece of sh#+ and should be suspended for the remainder of the season. Another reason to hate the scum of the earth Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
