Ex-Bruin Joe Thornton comments about Boston

on
Wow it's open season on the Bruins. I didn't expect this. Props to Matt Kalman's Bruins blog for posting about this as I didn't see this article but Joe Thornton had some comments about Boston and how the Bruins don't get disciplined.

"It's just something with Boston. It just seems like they have a horseshoe. We've seen the [Milan] Lucic cross-check to the head [of Dominic Moore] earlier, and there's no disciplinary thing.

"It's just something about Boston and the disciplinary [process] is on their side. I'm not sure why that is. I'm not assuming that Colin's kid is on the team and that's why, but it's really bizarre."

Yes Lucic has to learn to keep his stick down just as you Joe Thornton had trouble doing that same thing in your early days for the Bruins. Lucic will learn as Thornton did. I guess Thornton missed the non-suspension for Matt Cooke's cheapshot/headshot on Marc Savard and the light 2-games suspension for Randy Jones' hit on Patrice Bergeron. The disciplinary process was on the Bruins side then too right Joe?

Just to note, Joe Thornton has been suspended this season for 2 games for a blindside headshot on St. Louis Blues David Perron, who hasn't played since November 4th.

Joe Thornton's suspension is completely irrelevant to the fact the the Bruins get away with everything?

It's not irrelevant in my opinion as Thornton got away easy from his dangerous hit with only a 2 game suspension so it's not only Boston where some players may get off easy.

Also just to note, a few incidents where others have gotten away with incidents against the Bruins, besides the ones above, such as Steve Begin's (Montreal) cross check on Marc Savard that broke a bone in his back and Scott Walker's (Carolina) sucker punch on Aaron Ward.

How bout seeing Lucic completely board Spacek in the 11 playoffs with no suspension? Looks identical to Jones boarding that homo Bergeron. No suspension for Chara after breaking Max P's neck? You can see a nice still of that scene with Max's head in the turnbuckle with Chara's hand where? RIGHT behind his head, pushing it into that turnbuckle. And in another feat of amazingness, Game 7 of the Conference Finals, the 7th most penalized team in the league (Boston) somehow goes the whole game not taking ONE penalty against one of the best powerplays in the 11 playoffs (Tampa) The league babies Boston (Fact) and no props to the posting Matt Kalman for posting, because he's clearly another biast Boston idiot.
