So...Shawn Thornton will probably need his own thread....

Neither is John Scott.

Neither is Orpik.

Oh look here comes the Anti anything Boston fan boy. Plus as normal you deflect and not answer.

It's not my fault your defense for his actions has more holes in it than swiss cheese.

It's not my fault that your every attempt to deflect what actually happened can be turned against you.

How about sticking with the actual game and players involved, instead of players not on either team, and articles from last Season?

Can we try that?

Deflect and not answer what? You posted an article claiming that Thronton is a good guy because he wasn't on some random list from some article last year.

I was merely showing you that some of the players YOU have mentioned several times now as being horrible, are not on the list either.

Can't have it both ways man, sorry.

You are too smart for me IPW. You foiled my elaborate plan

Can you at least admit that the NHL most likely is going to be biased on this incident due to the pending court cases regarding concussions?

They are gonna make a example of Thornton and he is far from the guy they should do that too.

What Thornton did was pretty much the same as someone getting mugged and beat up on the Subway.

Damn straight they should make an example out of him. Especially since he said those types of actions are against the "code" of Hockey, and should not be tolerated, just 3 days prior to the incident.

I don't think the litigation over concussions has as much weight as the fact that Thornton's act was borderline criminal assault. He pulled him down from behind, and pummeled his head on the ice to the point of concussion. I get it, Thornton is not known for this...but he snapped, and the seriousness of what he did stands on its own.

That is a very good and fair reply.

I agree. I just fear that the NHL and it's wonderboy is gonna try and make a example out of Thronton. That would not be fair.

I am fine with a lengthy suspension because his actions do not belong in the NHL. I just wished to point out many others are repeat offenders and receive less then what I am sure Thornton will get.

And I would like to point out that if a repeat offender had done this, then there would have been swift and decisive judgement, ala Bertuzzi.

[Comeds]

Being a repeat offender should make whatever penalty one gets longer. Not being one should not shorten any disciplinary action.

 

[mattola]

Some of your are freaking nuts for your view on this

Some of you believe that a rational judgement will happen

I'll let you decide if there's a difference

Wait, did you just let me decide if 6 is equal to a half dozen?

And what does Samuel L Jackson think of all this?

Suspect: I am a good person. I am not a machete murdere.

Detective: but you just murdered someone with a machete.

Suspect: yeah but this is my first time, I'm a good person, not a machete murderer.

Detective: yeah, well, now you are

 

[pixburgher66]

BF4L, you've made some good points throughout, and some I disagree with...but using a Bleacher Report article will never ever HELP someones argument. Just an FYI. That place is trash.

Suspect: You're just a hater because I was born in Boston

Detective: Were you or were you not with John Scott and Matt Cooke at the time of the murder?

Suspect: I have a list of repeat offenders who killed with a machete last year.

Detective: I hate my life.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Exactly....

A cannibal isn't a can cannibal he eats his first victim.

Thx Pix. I try and stick to my point which I think I have made.

I agree the bleacher report is garbage. I stand down. Not that it matters but Shanaban never seems to get these things right.
