Thornton is a bad bitch, and made Toews his bitch.

It's not often Thornton finds someone that small to fight, he must have thought he went to heaven when Toews went for it, but it wasn't close.

The announcers had it correct. 2 for the crosscheck (ok he got boarding), 2 for the instigator and 2 for the instigator with shield plus 5 for fightting. Why didn't they call that?

Blahhh

I'm not sure what Toews was thinking....actually I don't think he was

Posted by Patman on Feb 15, 2013 at 11:18 PM agree

Would love to hear the reason for this. Toews is no fighter, but he looks for a beat down and finds it. Very strange indeed for him. Thornton was as surprised as everyone was.. No contest.

Toews gets his ass beat like the little bitch he is

Posted by mobilope on Feb 15, 2013 at 9:49 PM agree

Uh Toews, why you go and pick this fight? The least you could have done is pick a fight with someone closer to you in size......

Posted by mattsquadcar on Feb 18, 2013 at 12:49 AM agree

yeah, props for Toews for stepping up. props for not taking his visor off. props for getting his ass beaten. you moron Hawk fans are delusional

Waste of my time. I have seen romantic comedies with more action. Toews, keep your gloves on.

Posted by rebel21das on Feb 19, 2013 at 4:19 PM agree

Easy win for Thornton

Posted by BillyBuzzBomb on Feb 16, 2013 at 9:33 AM agree

Toews must of thought momentarily that he was back in juniors.

Take a second to look at the history between these two, then you will understand why Toews dropped the gloves. Every time the hawks play the sharks jumbo Joe always seems to be head hunting Toews, for some particular reason. It's been a long time coming, but he finally went after Thornton.

Thornton is 230 lbs plus.. He milked that boarding called anyways.

Hawks win cup 2013 ---FU leaf **** :-)

Toews has had plenty of reason to go after Thornton before tonight. The sucker punch last year being the biggest one. Thornton also was practice his swan dive on the boarding call. Toews is in way over his head and cannot fight well but the emotional lift it gives the team is what made the fight stand out. The Captain standing up for himself, no matter how lopsided the matchup, and setting the tone for his team to follow.
