Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:Kreider has been the best forward on the Rangers in about 2/3s of the games he has played. He is also playing with a Kesler-like mean streak. Has been dishing assists all over but goals have been harder to come by. Had a sweet finish on Thursday so hopefully he is finding his touch in that regard. His speed is ridiculous, especially coupled with that size. On NHL Tonight last night they said he is the fastest skater in the game.

I don't think.anyone would refer to Thornton as a renowned cheap shot artist, save for last night's actions. "Goon?" Yes. "Enforcer?" Yes. I'd call Marchand a cheap shot artist before him. Neal's a fucking scumbag and I hope for someone to explode one of his knees very soon. Also, fuck the Penguins and Lemieux along the way.
wolverineneshl {l Wrote}:I guess there is a fine line between a legal check and illegal check sometimes. But the only difference between hitting from behind along the boards and an open ice hit like that, is that one is legal while the other isn't. But in both, the player is vulnerable and helpless if you don't see it coming. If you want to cut down on the concussions and career ending hits, you have to enforce rules to protect players like in the NFL now with head shots or tackling with your helmet by launching yourself into another player.
After Marchand got knee to the head by Neal, that was the play that obviously sent Thornton out to protect his team mates. He broke his own code but emotions run high after plays like that. Pittsburgh has a history with Boston, Sammuelson and Neeley, Cooke and Savard, now Orpik on Ericsson which could possibly be career ending if he does not recover from this 2nd hit this year on him.

He's not even a goon as he actually plays an effective 4th line role, unlike a Scott or Orr. That was very out of character for him and a douche move which will probably get him 6 games as he's not a repeat offender. Agree on the Penguins sentiment, especially Neal.

Any further news on Orpik? I haven't seen anything. Further to that, are we still waiting a decision on Thornton?
