Excellent, fairly-even, back and forth, classic,
between two seasoned professionals.

Both took their time in establishing quality jersey grips,
but, in the end, it was only Thornton's, slight, reach advantage
that allowed him to gain a marginal edge.

Not flashy, but still...possibly, a mutual helmet toss away,
from being considered a potential FOTY candidate.

I was watching the game with my kids last night and one said, "What are they doing?" That boy has a lot to learn.

Rock-em-sock-em-robots with no clear winner. But aside from the fight and Clarkson's sneaky goal, that was the Albany Devils skating around wearing NJ Devils uniforms. They were totally embarrassed by the Bruins. Even Thorny scored a goal.

slight edge to Thornton, but I keep waiting for the Thornton of old to do some real damage, but I just don't see it this year. I thought he would do a number on Janssen.

Very technical fight, call it a draw. In a few instances it looked like the video was sped up the counter-punches were coming so quickly, but no damage done
Posted by fernben8 on Jan 5, 2012 at 2:15 PM agree disagree
I really have a lot of respect for these two warriors...
Both going with tons of rights with no major bombs landing.
Thornton straight up on the the punches and Janssen trying his luck on some counters.
I see a clear Draw and a 7.

Janssen tried to outlast Thornton, as is his usual tactic. Gave it a draw- each landed a couple.
And i am officially a DZA fan. Keep 'em coming, brother. I was thinking the EXACT same thing about Pete.

Pretty fair tilt I called it a draw but wouldnt argue with anyone who might have given the edge to thornton.....boy these boys are TUFF SOB's

Good, evenly matched fighters! Definition of a draw.

FYI to B's haters: a lot of us B's fans call em like we see em. When Thorny loses, like he did to Rupp and Gillies last year, I vote it like it is.

Secondly, there are some Devil homers here too. Anyone that says this was Janssen's win is also a homer. You can say it was an edge either way, but clear win for either fighter, come on now. lol

didnt seem like too much landed. Draw
Posted by scorp1on on Jan 6, 2012 at 5:41 AM agree disagree
Meh... A lot thrown - and for sure the air between them took a brutal pounding - but niether willing to compromise their lockout to go for the kill. 'A' for effort but since virtually nothing lands, it was boring. Draw and a 4.

A lot of punches thrown, not many connecting, draw.
Posted by nixu on Jan 5, 2012 at 10:22 AM agree disagree
If someone won that it was Janssen, but im going with draw.
Posted by The DZA on Jan 5, 2012 at 7:38 AM agree disagree
Is it just me, or is Peter DeBoer not the most depressed looking man on the face of the Earth?
Posted by bruiser11 on Jan 5, 2012 at 10:59 AM agree disagree
I didn't think either one had a serious edge. I went draw as both were good here.
