Scot will destroy anybody the Big Bad Breewins have just face it and let it go ! I wanted John for the Flyers so that when crosby slashes the captains wrist again scott could line up the pens for a seek and destroy mission !

Boy, I have never seen a fight cause so much drama…when Chara pounds Regher it’s ok because Chara is a skilled player, incidently the size difference is roughly the same as Scott/Thornton. Scott did his job as did Thornton and in this instance Thornton took a whooping and he took it with class. As a Buffalo fan I have all the respect for Thornton. The only thing I beg to differ with Thornton is in his saying he fought Scott before Scott did something stupid….first Scott only fights enforcers and doesn’t go out and mug small, skilled player. Scott served his purpose well because the rest of the game was pretty clean, not much pushing and shoving after play was over. Lucic was pretty non-existent physically. Let’s face it once your though guy gets beat down there is nothing to do because Scott still has two fights left and who is going to want to face him. I bet the game on Sunday is calm. Milbury is such a turd, anyone who knows Thornton knows he has heart and somewhere down the line they will meet again. Scott fought smart because as Thornton moved forward be backed off and with his reach he was able to get a good hold and good position and had Thornton off balance.

funniest part of this is even after getting his mugged punched in thornton is still more attractive than 98% of the women in buffalo

why are people talking about the sabres? awful defense, one line offense with an overrated headcase for a goalie…they’ll finish 10th per usual and once again be an after thought like every other year sucks for vanek his talent is wasted on a scrub team like the sabres in a going nowhere city like buffalo

If they are smart no one will challenge him again this year on the field of honor unless they want more Big Bad Bruins on the shelf with little birdies flying around their heads !

To break it down to its simplest form your once tuff guy thorton is no match for the modern day enforcer in the likes of john scott ! Right now he would have a tough time with zak renaldo and zak is just a scrappy little dude !

@ babych

Thornton gave up 6 inches and 40 pounds to Scott…….not all that different than Hecht or Pommer gives Lucic. I guess the biggest difference is that Thornton is a Bruin….he will fight for his teammates and his crest without worrying about himself. #warrior

I’m a sabers fan and I think Thorton did his job.I can respect that.. and Scott is a goon. There is no reason for Chara to step in and risk a penalty or injury. It would be entertaining but it ain’t gonna happen. But I could see Lucic doing it.. And I think it will before the seasons over.

I know it’s unlikely, because neither is big on spending time in the box for five minutes without good reason, but… I feel like we’ve waited far too long to see a good fight between Myers and Chara. Is that too much to ask?

@rdurk86 I think you are wrong about the Bruins won.t be bothered to fight Scott again this season. I think if Thorton gets his marbles sorted out and can play hockey again this year he will be stupid enought and try and fight Scott again. But then the is the Thorton way.

Yeah I’d much rather have Tyler Myers and his 1 goal and -9……

Some real crybabies on here. You can get Lucic to fight when he shouldn’t, sometimes. Neither he nor Chara should fight anyone unless they choose someone else who is skilled. Scott isn’t skilled.

End of story.

speaking of Chara and pylons….

By: rdurk86

rdurk86 — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 22:13:30 +0000

Chara doesn’t fight because, you know, he’s a top 3 D man in the league. Thornton fighting Scott was pointless, let alone Chara. Scott is the single most useless player in the league, a complete pylon, traffic cone, whatever adjective you want.

I don’t see the Bruins even bothering to fight Scott again this season. It’s basically a man advantage for them when he’s on the ice. The only way they fight him is if Scott jumps someone, or runs someone.

Yeah shame on Jason Pominville and Jochen Hecht for not beating up Milan Lucic.

Chara would never fight Scott, he is too tall. Chara only goes after guys under 5’11.

Bringing in a goon who can’t play hockey the next season is hardly “doing something.” They had chances last year. When it happened, they all stood around. The next meeting, they barely addressed it. They turtled big time. They were pushed around and didn’t push back. And after that hit, they collectively went in the tank and missed the playoffs because they refused to band together as a team. Nobody is complaining in Boston. Buffalo wanted to address the situation after it was no longer important to anyone but Sabres fans. Thornton stood up for his teammates and fought the bigger man so that it could be done with and so that the skill players didn’t need to be involved in nonsense. He got beat down. Nobody disputes that. It’s just sad that Buffalo resorted to bringing in a guy who has a lower ppg average than most AHL guys in order do the job that most of Miller’s teammates didn’t have the sack to do last year. Was more respectable that Gaustad took a beating at least trying to be there for his teammate. The rest of them looked like a bunch of wussys.
