Yeah that was bull ****, were they trying to say he threw an elbow when they went down? It actually looked to me like he tried to go North/South to try and prevent any more punches from being thrown.

The problem is that this has become a common thing with Thornton. Have great regular seasons, then disappear in the postseason when the intensity picks up and you have to fight for every inch. When you punch him in the mouth he folds. Obviously one player can't carry a team to the cup, but when you're earning what he does, you're expected to elevate your game in the playoffs and be the go to guy. He has yet to do so, so you really can't call him great. He deserves all the criticism he's received. Same with Marleau. Both of them have been invisible, and that's putting it lightly.

One other thing for folks that are attempting to hit all the arenas. ALWAYS call the team directly and ask for the PR director rather than buying your tix through ticketmaster, as sometimes they are sympathetic to your mission and hook you up with great seats. Sometimes they could care less, but in Boston for instance, I bought seats that were right behind the Devils bench and right next to the Devils stick rack on the runway. I could hear the players talking between shifts and see how they all taped their sticks etc.... The guy in Edmonton was really nice too and hooked me up with seats/passes that got me under the stadium where the Oilers walk out of the lockerroom. It never hurts to ask.

not my fault people complained because it hurt their ears and it became a pop gun.

Here's how loud it used to be - listen to this video clip - you can barely hear the goal horn (which is the standard loud of any arena) then listen to how loud the cannon USED to be.
