JOE. WOW.
Posted by von_swine on Feb 26, 2013 at 4:43 AM agree disagree
both dudes go for the quick jab and then set to it,..the rest is what 'hockey' needs in this day and age...not just ham fisted mechanics, but guys at the top caring enough about their squad to risk breaking a hand. that's the old way, and the RIGHT way... going w/a D, even tho big Joe prolly 'won' this fight...

other teams and star players take notice; the Cup is what ALL of you dicks are fighting for, EVERY step of the way. dig it!

I like how Robidas gives jumbo an "excuse me, let me get out of your way" pass. I wouldn't say Thornton "dominated" although that super so-mo helped create that impression and after the camera work on the last two this one looked like a main event.Joe still wins

Great scrap! I give the edge to Jumbo Joe with the brain rattler at the end, but the respect goes to both of the fighters for dropping the lids. Its become something all to infrequent these days. Gave this one a solid 7.

close tilt, but gotta give it to Joe. Can't stand the guy, but he's pumped this week... good to see.

Hell of a fight from some big bodied stars! I'd say slight edge to Joe for the finish. Great fight!

Joe Thornton is my favorite player. AND I call it a slight edge to Joe. Both players only connected a few times. Nice scrap between two men.
Posted by Bluetiedown44 on Feb 25, 2013 at 12:35 AM agree disagree
Nod to Thornton here, he seemed to connect more. Benn was a bit of scrapper when he first came up. Nice to see both guys involved in all aspects of the game.

That was a pretty good bout...Thornton probably got an extra punch or two but it's too close to call. Going with a draw

Close but Benn with the win.

Both landed solid shots that helped energize both teams and crowd. Slight edge to Benn

Good scrap. Slight edge to JT.

Joe landed the biggest punch of the fight, which ended it. Clear win. Makes Benn look lame for people to make false stories about how he won. Joe is bigger and he won, no shame for Benn. That Thornton missed some punches doesn't make it a draw.

"When the Bruins traded Joe they wanted him to do more of this to be like Lindros. Still one of the dumbest trades for the Bruins."

Bruins ended up flipping the players in that deal to be Seidenberg and Ference. Thornton never won a cup nor scored 30 since leaving Boston, so not an awful deal.

The last punch on the replay pulled my vote towards Jumbo Joe... Good tilt all around on a quiet Saturday night.
