![]() ![]() It was Milan Lucic’s, who ran Ryan Miller last season without fear of retribution from a soft Buffalo roster.Īll that changed last summer, as the Sabres added the gritty Steve Ott and goon extraordinaire Scott – this was done in direct response to the lack of toughness Buffalo showed in response to Lucic’s charge of Miller. Though Thornton knows, understands, and loves his role on the Bruins, the Scott fight was not his battle. However, he never should have had to do it. He knows his job is to fight the other team’s tough guys and, despite overwhelming odds, did his job. Despite giving up six inches in height and over 50 pounds to the 6-foot-8, Thornton had no second thoughts about throwing punches with Scott, and for that he deserves credit. When Boston’s Shawn Thornton dropped the gloves with Buffalo behemoth John Scott Thursday night, he earned the respect of his teammates, the fans, opposing fans, and likely Scott himself. Milan Lucic let Shawn Thornton fight his battle with the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night. ![]()
