Season, both of them.

No place for stupid shit like that in any sport.

That looks worst than what Bertuzzi did to Moore but 10 ppl piled on Bertuzzi and that's how Moore broke his neck.

First thought is that I won't be surprised if Thornton gets sued.

Throw the book at him.

Only if he gets some sorta perma damage...

thornton 1 game
cause shanny logic

wtf man.. fucking thornton.

sidenote: i like hondaracer's new avatar

5 for neal
10 for thorton because orpik was concussed before which is easier for him to be KO'd. Thorton only threw jabs at him...

i don't feel bad for marchand at all. in fact, i hope neal gets the "lucic" treatment and somehow miraculously talk himself out of a suspension with shanny.

karma finally "hit" marchand :badpokerface:
bad jokes aside, nobody wants to see a dirty hit like that.

Neal got a minor and scored the next goal.

What did Thornton get?

BOS Shawn Thornton Match penalty against Brooks Orpik

Woo for the 2pts but not happy about sitting on leads which has been an issue for your Nux too.

Real test for Bettman: which of his two teams to punish more if at all - Pens or Ruins

lol bruins fans supporting that piece of **** Thornton and glad he did that to Orpik. Even a mod in the Bruins subsection was calling for Orpik to be knocked out earlier.

pretty much reminded me of how classless they were when they were actually cheering when Mason Raymond pretty much had his spine broken by Boychuk in game 6 of 2011 finals

Looks like Shanny can't fine him

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

In near tears like a lil bitch :lawl:

He did have teary eyes after the ref held him back seeing what he did... It wouldn't been a KO if it was somebody else. Orpik was previously concussed which is why he got KO easily.

Neals knee impact had more force than Thorton's punch.

CBC said Neal gets an over-the-phone with Shanny but did I hear Thornton gets the same?

Thornton will get an in person hearing

:suspicious:

So Shanny and Thornton can do their Christmas gift exchange with some hot cocoa?

thornton was absolutely in the wrong on his shit with oorpik. guy had absolutely no chance to fend for himself. heat of the moment....can bring out the worst

as for neal, he takes it for the team (and the league) and gets a couple games. but marchand has had that coming for a long time

We have seen the NHL try to crackdown on headshots to improve player safety.

-don't know what the league can do stop headshots when it involves players' knees hitting another player's head or what Thornton did to Orpik.

Thornton pretends that he's a UFC fighter with those dangerous punches to Orpik's head.
-crazy shit going on in this league.

Orpik was treated at the hospital and was conscious and subsequently released.

Orpik's initial hit that Thorton was responding to, looks clean to me but unfortunately Loui has a concussion now

Close up.... how is that not assault

Joe McDonald ‏@ESPNJoeyMac 2h
Julien cont: . . . There’s a lot of blame to go around and we all have to take responsibility for that.

Yes......its clearly Orpik's fault for standing there and getting slewfooted and then hit multiple times in the face
