Watch Shawn Thornton embarrass a Vancouver columnist on Boston TV (Video) | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports
Vancouver columnist like all Vancouver fans have have no clue why they are hated.
Woah is us? How can we be hated, we won the Presidents trophy and we have no tough guys. Teams are hated because they have tough guys...
:pwned:
Too bad Thornton never had 3 fights in a period like he claims.

Big Bad Blog » Brad Marchand: Shawn Thornton knew Dale Weise wanted to fight Adam McQuaidQuote:
Bruins forward Brad Marchand, making his regular appearance on WEEI with Mut and Merloni, revealed Wednesday that Bruins forward Shawn Thornton knew that Vancouver forward Dale Weise was not trying to fight him in the first period of Saturday’s game.
Weise extended a challenge and appeared ready to drop his gloves prior to a face-off in the opening period, but when Thornton dropped his gloves at 14:58 of the period, Weise, who had fourth Nathan Horton earlier in the period, kept them on. Though at first glance it appeared Weise was using a cheap tactic to sucker Thornton into a penalty, Marchand said Wednesday that the challenge was indeed being extended to Adam McQuaid, and that Thornton jumped in to “surprise” Weise.
“I’m going to clear it up for everyone who’s listening,” Marchand said. “It was actually a really sneaky play by Thorty. Weise was trying to fight McQuaid, who was standing behind Thornton on the point. McQuaid was going to fight him. So, Weise was yelling and saying, ‘Yeah, let’s go, let’s go.’
“Thorty just figured that at that point he’d drop his gloves and surprise Weise. And the ref just kind of heard Weise yelling ‘Let’s go’ and thought he was talking to Thorty and conning him into a penalty. Thorty kind of surprised him when Thorty dropped his gloves. Weise had no idea Thorty was going to do that.”
Added Marchand: “Him and Quaider know each other a bit from the minors and I think junior as well. They might have went at [it] there.”
Marchand’s words corroborate Weise’s story, as he told reporters prior to Monday’s game that he was trying to fight McQuaid.(...)
Can't wait to hear gradin on this one...
Cherry is going to have a field day with that one. "They have no toughness." Hilarious. Burrows is Tyson Nash with some scoring mixed in. Lapierre is gutless.
Cherry is a buffoon.Quote:

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!

Not much to add really. Amateurish attempt by the Boston media to set up Gallagher, who is pretty hard to like. He's carved out a career in sports media by being the whiny, sniveling little sarcastic guy who thinks (or acts) like he really knows what he is talking about. I would have thought he would have had his basic facts a little straighter though seeing his only responsibility is to know something about the local team.Quote:

Pay him a boatload of cash so he can't refuse. If we are going to have the worst team in sports history, might has well have a PBP to suit. PLUS Edwards can't skate and played college soccer. He is ******* perfect!!!!
