Joe Thornton vs Steve Montador

A close one but giving edge to Thornton.

I thought it looked like Montador was hanging on for dear life. Thornton has been in some pretty good frigging scaps. His early Boston days he took on some big dudes and did very well for himself. I would've done the same as Montador.

Good to see Joe in there... not much happening though

Thornton did try to throw, Montador tried not to get hit. Nice to see Joe wake up and try to spark the team, because he seems to fall asleep on them every playoff season when the games really matter. Let's see if he breaks that trend this year. JT winner hands down.

I for one don't blame montador one minute for hugging the life out of this fight. Cause if he didn't i think big joe wouldv'e made short work of this. Besides the point Joe still lands the only punches for the "W".

Come on Joe if you are going to be off the ice for 5 you should at least get your monies worth.

Joe took it easy on him. Good guy.

Still good to see Thornton scrap. Next time he needs to drop his purse first.

thorntons big n strong. not much came outa this fight tho. mostly wrestling around. but good to see him not afraid to step up

Thornton wins

Joe should do better than this, tired?

To quote Jamie Baker: Montador still held on with a big bear hug (maybe he has a man-crush on big Joe?).

Crummy fight. Montador hugged, both were at the end of their shifts. Hockeywise: help cost the Sharks the game which means JT may have won the fight, Montador won the war.

I would have liked to see less dancing and hugging. Gave the fight to Thornton for at least landing some punches. If Montador is gonna play for the Ducks he's gonna have to do better than that.

Big Joe wins.

Looked like they wanted to squeeze the air out of each other.
