Thorton, Orpik, Neal, Dion

They push the boundaries, no doubt, but it's more in your face physical and imtidation than it is completely cheap or bush league. More so than Pittsburgh, at least.

Outside of Marchand, and I don't even think he is as much of a cheap shot artist as he is a pest, nobody ok Boston bugs me. I actually like the way they play, wish the sharks played like them more.

The pens on the other hand not so much. Could just be from what I've only seen but that's my opinion.

While it's "wrong" on a moral sense.....I can't think anyone is really that bothered by Marchand getting kneed in the head. It's Marchand for fuck's sake.

Thornton got 15 games. Honestly not enough. Probably should of been 20 to 25 imo.

lol @ not enough. I would hope you think Neal should have gotten more then too...

And really it doesn't matter for the Bruins. Thorton is a 4th liner. Sure he brings grit but theres a reason he gets benched during the playoffs. With all the guys out we are getting a nice look at Ryan Spooner and some of the other prospects. The only thing that really sucks about this is Loui is out with his 2nd concussion of the year and on IR. He probably sits out until after the olympic break.
