I think it depends on the severity of Orpik's injuries. If he's concussed, or is out long-term, they'll definitely throw the book at Thornton, and give him 20+ games. But, if he's back next game it might only be 8-12. I don't think it's as bad as some are saying, and it's not near as bad as Bertuzzi's takedown of Moore. Still he deserves whatever suspension they decide to give him.
