Clear win for Thornton. Henry was obviously hurt at the end of the fight.

A good fight but excellent viewing of Thornton's technique in fighting a bigger guy. Henry looks like a one and done. Enjoy the ride back to the minors kid. Edwards is a homer but he can be funny. I loved when he announced the final score as 'the Bruins 3, the Inmates 1'. Those might be the ugliest uniforms I've ever seen

If you show up to a fight dressed as a clown . . .excpect to end up looking like one. Thornton waited for Henry to tire out and then took care of business.

That flurry by Henry in the middle of the fight hit nothing but air. Thornton threw less but landed more, especially with that left at the end. It was a well played game until the end when another typical coward Hab threw a cheapshot at Kobasew.

Decent fight, Thornton lands more meaningful blows and also tunes with both hands. Who the hell was that guy and did he play ANY shifts after the fight?
Thank god someone agrees with me that Edwards is one of the worst in the biz. I'm actually embarrassed to listen to the cable feed, thank god for XM radio.

Thornton really came on strong at the end against a bigger player (4 inches and 18 pounds bigger, to be precise), and really could have done some damage at the end there when Henry was clearly totally gassed.

Adding insult to injury, I guess, is the fact that Thornton scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal later in the game.
And other than the cheap-shot at the end of the game... and the charging into the goalie... the Habs played pretty "cleanly."
kinda. sorta. not really. Show some class... if Thornton had the class that the rest of the Habs team apparently has, Henry would still be in the hospital getting his face re-(re)arranged.

Wow brutal announcer, people when u make comments try to sound a little like u no anything, this is the worst when people only see what there told to see people grow up. Sad.
Learn ur history on the Nhl and u may under stand the jersey, not make dumb comments like that idiot annoucer who would never go near a dressing room.

If Henry knocked out Thornton with one punch, that a-hole announcer would still ramble on about how Thornton won the fight. He is the worse announcer period. NHL, AHL, EAST COAST. You can't believe a word he says.

Fought with emotion.

Jack Edwards is a homer but one of the best announcers in the NHL

Thornton owns this guy. The Boston pbp is comedic, especially the last 3-4 minutes of this game.
Posted by SPICOLI on Feb 3, 2009 at 9:12 PM agree disagree
Thornton whooped his ass. Henry threw a lot of punches, but hardly landed any. Henry was calling for the linesmen to intervene towards the end of this one... The sign of a guy who got in over his head. Winner by unanimous decision : Thornton.

OK fight, with the edge going to Thorton, who outlasted and landed more punches. It is true Edwards is horrible, but the Canadiens announcers are worse, they had Henry dominating against Thorton in their play by play. Go to youtube to hear the TSN feed.
