It was good to see Thornton get some work in here after all the pansies from Moroneal wouldn't oblidge him.... Just think, if that game was played there, someone would have called (911) and had the Mount-Me's try to arrest Chara again... I thought Erskine landed more, the last one by Thorton did catch him, but I see draw here.

Thornton gets the WIN here.

I know the Bruins haters, most likely cowardly Canucks or Habs fans will makes excuses and find a reason to whine about the Bruins.

gotta go draw. that punch by thornton did not land and just made erskine off balance by the swing and grab of the jersey because he was trying to counter-punch. boston still cant win a fight. draw.

In slo mo last punch does not land
Check out video in Washinton/Boston thread in slo mo
Give this one to Erskine
I'm sure Bruin fans will see this differently and give it to Thornton

I also see homers are out in full force

I'm a Bruin fan, but Erskine won this one.
To boldbilly, you are just a goof. Don't EVER compare Subban to Chara. I see Prust went to the Komasarik school of how to fight Lucic as well. Montreal players do not need to fight. But if you aren't going to back it up, don't pull all that cheap ****. At least if a Bruin pulls a Cooke on someone, he'll take his lumps. The way Chara responded is the way a true leader and captain should. But if you are a Montreal fan, you would have no idea of what I'm talking about. If you have a broken orbital bone, DON'T play the game that way. And if you do play that way, DON'T whine about a broken orbital bone. Can't have it both ways.

Thorny really unloaded on Erskine's grill. Down he goes.
Posted by kkdowning on Mar 6, 2013 at 8:42 AM agree disagree
Watching it live at the arena I thought thronton dropped Erskine for a comeback win, but the last punch did not land and Erskine slipped (which is not that unusual for him) to the ice. Anyway, Erskine should have let Volpatti take the fight -- as that is why Volpatti skated out for the draw.

I had to look at the replay a few times...
Yes, the punch was solid enough to knock Erskine down.

After the fall, good to see Thornton get back up on the horse again.

Big ups to Thornton for dropping his gloves with anyone after being beaten within an inch of his life by John Scott.

Erskine KO'd Lucic and left him turtling a few years back, so this was a tough opponent for Thornton.

Welcome back ST! Solid few shots on both sides but Thornton with the win...
Posted by braindog1017 on Mar 5, 2013 at 8:40 PM agree disagree
Thornton has to get the win, as he landed the most visible shot that ended the fight, but it wasn't a true KO shot. He threw a hard right that got Erskine's attention and caused him to fall backwards. Erskine landed two good right hands as well, but Thornton steadied himself and earned a nice comeback win.

Guess Erskine didn't have quite the grip he thought he had.
