Nothing official yet but Thornton's hearing (which he said is happening) expected to be in person. That allows suspension of 6 or more games

ORPIK UPDATE: Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where he is alert and conscious.
"@HackswithHaggs: Just saw a replay. Shawn Thornton yanked Orpik to the ice and then punched him twice in the head when he was down. Knocked him out cold"
"@penguins: Brooks Orpik wheeled off the ice on a stretcher. Updates as they become available."
"@JoeYerdonPHT: Match penalty for Thornton - as it should be."
Absolutely garbage.
Will get a video up when it surfaces
EDIT: Here's a vine of the incident : https://t.co/iEA1QNF6IE
I finally get it. If you don't absolutely hate every single other team in the league, you're no a Canucks fan. Also, if you don't wish for other teams players to receive career ending injuries, you're also not a Canucks fan.
