I could have simply missed it, I've only seen the replays, but was there a challenge? I just saw the attack with no attempt to drop the gloves.

Reportedly he was challenging him prior.

@GlobeFluto Shawn Thornton says he made a mistake. "I feel awful."

@GlobeFluto Thornton already informed he'll have hearing.

"Oh he didn't hit his head hard" "Oh he didn't punch him that hard"

He jolted his neck when he fell on the ice. You don't have to hit your head to receive head injuries.

Secondly, who cares how hard he punched him? He deliberately punched a downed player in the face three times. There's no place for that anywhere.

The more I watch this, I just get angrier at Thornton for being such a meat-head. I mean, what a stupid, pointless display of bone-headed thuggery. What a dink.

There's actually a huge thread for every season. You've mentioned it a few times, I'm not sure why it bothers you. You don't have to get every reference ever made.

I laughed at the Thornton play and don't think he should be suspended but I hate the Pens and like the Bruins so that could be my bias affecting what I think.

Still think no way that Thornton should get anywhere close to Neal in my view. Not close to as bad a play.

At least Thornton owned up to what he did. Neal on the other hand....

@Ken_Laird James Neal: "I was skating by him, I haven't like seen the replay or anything so I mean I hit him in the head w/ my leg or foot or shin..

@Ken_Laird Neal: "But I mean he's already going down and I guess I need to try to avoid him, but I have to look at it again"

@Ken_Laird Neal: "I mean, what do you want me to say? That I was trying to hit him? No I'm going by him, I don't get out of the way like I said..."

@Ken_Laird Neal: "I need to be more careful and I guess get my knee out of the way, but I'm not trying to hit him in the head or injure him"

It's bad, it's suspendable but if it had to happen to anyone at least it's that dirtbag Marchand. I've been waiting for that little prick to get his for all the crap he's pulled.

I'm no rocket surgeon but have to think Shawn Thornton will get in-person hearing for knocking down Brooks Orpik and KOing him while down.
Off topic, but I want to become a rocket surgeon....must be a lucrative career, don't know any rocket surgeons

Edit. Just saw the punch as well...that deserves a suspension, no question

@TSNBobMcKenzie NHL announces James Neal will have telephone hearing for kneeing Brad Marchand in head. Any suspension to him will be 5 games or less.

@TSNBobMcKenzie NHL also announces Shawn Thornton's hearing will be in person. Allows NHL option of suspending 6 or more games. Date/time of hearing TBD.

This is the type of play that really deserves for the player to be gone the rest of the season.

Yes, Thornton challenged Orpik on a previous shift. And not exactly by asking politely.
