@xLrelapse112 I was just saying what Thornton told the media, that the fight was in attempt to spark up the team, I wasn't trying to suggest that the fight added momentum for all the goals, sorry if I mislead you haha

[xLrelapse112]

@Rycon182 not really, although the score was blowout, the devils went on to score their only goal after this. I doubt any momentum from a meaningless fight would carry over 3 periods. Its not like this is a rivalry or these guys dont like each other, that fight generated absolutely no momentum. this was just a dumb fight

@lorenzo9389 The term is case IN point, not case and point.

[Rycon182]

@xLrelapse112 I would agree with this not being a part of the game but the purpose of this fight was to help spark up the team and well the score board shows it must have done something

@Rycon182 Case and point George Laraque

[xLrelapse112]

@Rycon182 I think Thornton CAN contribute more, which is why this type of fighting pisses me off. I don't like this type of fighting from anyone, its a couple minutes into the game and they just want to get it over with. It does nothing for the game at that point, they make the game look bad because there is a real time and place for fights and this is not it.

[Rycon182]

@xLrelapse112 I mean thornton got a goal in this game if I'm not mistaken, and has gotten a few others so you can't really call him a goon. Besides, he can actually contribute to the team in other ways than fighting, goons imo are players that are just out there to fight and can't do anything else....
