One can only speculate that he wasnt trying to kill him. Otherwise gloves would have been off and he could have wound up n drifted him twice. The intent was to hit him obviously not to k'o him. How could Thornton have known that someone who checks that hard would have a glass jaw. Then again..... he did run away. Maybe he should have known. Did you see it? Watch again objectively.... Thornton holds him up!

You are kind of a moron, aren't you? And a bit of a sociopath as well.

The glass jaw portion and middle part was meant more tongue in cheek then serious.

Then your sense of humor needs a lot of work. The guy you were making fun of got carted of on a stretcher and has a concussion and thes no telling when he will play again. If I made a comment like that about Eriksson in the Bruins thread, I'd have been hung in effigy by now, and justly so. So why don't you get lost for a while instead of trolling for reactions here, because that's clearly what you are doing.

Well said. Except the clean hard hit, it was questionable. Loui had his head turned to locate puck when he was hit. Otherwise good post.

Hang on, how is it Orpik's fault that the pass that Eriksson was supposed to receive ends up in his skates then past him and searches for it?

Chara would have laid the same hit, not bumped him, you know it, and he should. That play by Orpik was a hockey play and to be honest it's a hit that James Neal is lucky he doesn't get a lot of the time coming out of his own zone.

He misses a lot of Geno's blind zone exit passes due to looking up rather than at the puck. Once that puck was gone Eriksson should have know he was going to get hit. The puck was close enough to get hit, and far enough for the official to call interference if he saw fit, which on this play he didn't. That's the debatable part, not that Eriksson wasn't looking, that's not the hitters fault.

Gotta love this!!!!!

Fantastic, hope all the Boston Bullsh*tters can see what a dirty team they are. Led by the fat dirtbag Claude Julianne. Honestly, they make an art out of cheap shots and diving, everyone knows it but them.

Boston fans didn't like the rough stuff in the 90's when ulf was abusing Neely. Just saying

There was plenty of mutual abuse going back and forth in the 91 playoffs. Neely just got the worst of it.

Bravo sir, bravo.
