| Jan 25, 2003 | 2pd 00:57 | @ BOS | PHI | Eric Desjardins |
| Desjardins cross checks Thornton, and Thornton gives him a shot back. Thornton follows Desjardins up the ice, they get the sticks high and Thornton drops the gloves. He rips the helmet off of Eric, and Desjardins finally drops the gloves. They are both in pretty tight. Thornton throws a bunch of short punches that all connect, and Desjardins doesn't want any of it and the linesman break it up. Desjardins is bleeding right over his eye. | ||||

| Mar 08, 2003 | 1pd 11:32 | @ BOS | WAS | Brendan Witt |
| Witt is harrassing Thorton behind the Caps Net and Thornton finally said enough and drops the gloves, bad timing for Witt too because the Caps broke up ice and scored, but the wistle blew. Witt tries a few lefts which miss and Thornton throws some rights. Witt is holding the sleeve on Joe's jersey by the wrist so Thornton was throwing short rights, landing, then switching to the left and landing a nice one. Witt counters with a couple of rights then Thornton lands another left and switches back to the right and lands the last 4 punches as Witt doesn't look too interested in fighting anymore. Other Penalties: Thornton received a roughing. | ||||
