He went directly to Boston's locker room. He and Thornton, the top pick in the NHL draft in 1997, had been teammates since the 1997-98 season.

slapshot Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 That was a joke of a call. If a hit from behind is an automatic ejection, then what's the point of a boarding penalty? That's all it should have been. It wasn't even directly from behind, and Gill later said he saw Thornton coming.

Yes, the NHL wants to protect the defencemen from getting their knees blown out on icings, etc. but that was an extremely weak call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
