WILMINGTON – Shawn Thornton will miss the next 7-10 days with a concussion, the Bruins announced Friday. Thornton suffered the injury in a first-period fight with Sabres enforcer John Scott on Thursday night, with Thornton leaving the game and not returning.

With Thornton out, Lane MacDermid could see more time for the B’s in the coming days. The 23-year-old had seven fights this season for Providence and played his first NHL game of the season on Thursday.

Thornton wasn’t the only absence from Friday’s practice, as Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci and Daniel Paille also missed the skate. Paille and Bergeron were banged up in the third period of Thursday’s loss to the Sabres, though Krejci did not appear to suffer an injury in the game.

  • Ryan MIller

    Seriously all Boston fans do is cry!!!!! The Patriots are not in the super bowl….your hockey team is weak….so instead of maning up and taking it they cry…HEY BOSTON STOP CRYING…WNY owed you last night…
    Love Ryan Miller

    I love when non-boston fans have nothing better to do than read boston sports.  Shutcha face!

  • Old Time Hockey

    Ryan Miller calling somebody a cry baby is hysterical. Nobody owns the Bruins. You have one tough guy we have 15. Your tough guy plays 3 minutes a game. It’s not worth Chara or Lucic’s time to fight that thug. The Bruins have owned the Sabres for years and this year will be no different. Go celebrate your one win. Sabres won’t even make the playoffs.

    …and per se, as usual, this attempt at logic proves once again that trolls lack all reason and common sense about anything…”The Pats aren’t in the Super Bowl “..but at least we got to the AFC Championship. How ’bout those Bills. “The Bruins are weak”…yeah, they’re so weak that they’re in 1st place with one regulation loss. Where are the mighty Sabres? Yep, there they are, scraping the bottom….Nobody is crying bonehead…don’t you have some snow to shovel?

  • Fab4ever

    …and it won’t be the last fight he loses…he’ll be back and he’ll be looking for this fellow…did someone hijack your ID or did you just OD on stupid today?

     All Buffalo fans do is recall all of the championships their teams have won. There, done. Congrats to the Sabres on wasting a roster spot for a good how plays 3 minutes a game. If someone pummels Vanek you’ll cry again. Go put on a clean diaper and hide in your crease.

    a pea tends to have a lot more room in the head to rattle around

  • ScoopBurton

    Keep dreaming

  • ScoopBurton

    Can Thornton get a part time job at Mit while recovering?

  • ScoopBurton

    I would like to hear the explanation of how Thornton is not a goon. His skating prwess? His laser accurate passing? His explosive bulls eye shot?

  • ScoopBurton

    The man definitely is no punk….Besides that Chara is too smart to even bother with the guy. There are more important things for Chara to do.

  • Johnny Spygate

    Gotta love queen4eva.  Someone has a different opinion and suddenly they’re “stupid”.  I actually took a few days off from posting (sorry) because queenie seemed a little butt hurt the other day, and i wanted to take it easy on him.  But Johnny Spygate can’t simply sit on the sidelines when he feels the need to insult other commentors–even one as ponderous & unfunny as snowy.
    Pipe down, sir.  If I want your opinion I’ll give it to you.
    Have a great weekend everyone.  I’m off to Vale for a few days so carry on without me.
    Cheers

    Thorton is a fighter yes.  He lacks blazing speed, yes..He doesnt have world class offensive skills, but I will say this…..The guy is no cheap shot punk!!!  The guy has a role as the teams protector, and he knows that, so thats what he does!!!  The guy fights fairly, and rarely acts like a punk while doing it!!  Yes, he got smashed in this fight, but who doesnt against that gorilla??  Thorton is widely respected across the Nhl, as a guy who takes care of business, yet he handles himself respectfully…

  • whitey

    Hey Johnny, I hope you get frostbite in that big mouth of yours when you go to Vail!!!

  • whitey

    5 posts in 8 minutes!!!!   Boy, someone likes to hear himself talk!!  Do us all a favor and beat it!!

  • Fab4ever

    Hardly an “opinion” douch e…an opinion is fine with me….this was just stupid being stupid…kinda like you ain’t it? I shoulda known crap attracts crap so I guess why you supported him….
    Let’s hope you pull a Sonny Bono in Vail…

  • ScoopBurton

    Those are very hurtful words

  • ScoopBurton

    fair enough

  • Jonmh69

    Would rather be a Boston sports fan and cry then have to watch any Buffalo sports team on a regular basis. Call me when your town wins something.

    Shawn Thorton – 7 years NHL, 2 Stanley Cups, 30 goals, 43 assists
    John Scott – 4 years NHL, 0 Cups, 1 goal, 4 assists

    Please, Scott isn’t even in the same league. Nice interview. At least he’s a gentleman.

  • Slede

    When Scott knock out Thornton he looked over at the Bruins bench and held up 1 finger, as if to say Thornton is the first to go down. Charro is going to have to go after this guy and beat him down.
