Thornton's ban announced
- Thread starter puck
- Start date
If this does end up being true, it would suggest that Voth's ban for the slash will be reduced to at least 4 games I would think.. (I would have expected Thornton to have recieved at least 15 games under the 'Voth' tariff)
That combined with the 2 he should get for the 'sucker-punch' (inline with Shanker and Partrick's bans) would add up nicely to the 6 confirmed by Convery to the Devils.
These latest bans seem to follow the revised guidelines.

Nothing on Giants site so far, however i would think the Giants would automatically appeal leaving Thornton free for this weekends games against Caps and Bison respectively. Another reason the Giants would want to do this is that of the following 9 games, 5 of them are cup games 
.
3 are in the challenge cup and a double header against the Steelers in the BKO cup, meaning Thornton would only miss 4 league games which is the most important title to win.
We currently have 2 imports out injured so could really do with them healing quickly if we want to stay around the top of the league while Thornton is out.

MacMillan had an awkward fall in training and broke a few fingers while Martin separated his shoulder against Hull, both should be back soon, Martin might take slightly longer but i think once Macmillan gets the cast of he would come straight back in, if not this weekend hopefully the following one.
It appears in light of the Vipers reporting Thornton the Giants have reported Todd Griffith and Rob Rankin for tag teaming on Bobby Robins in the last 2 seconds of the game on Sunday night.

It is very sad, I never would have believed that the day would come that a finesse player like Steve Thornton would have been banned as if he was a robust over physical player.
It makes you think what ban "they" would have "created" for Steve Moria in his heyday.
Furthermore if I was a player or a club official what ban would I get bearing in mind my previous with BP.

And so the Muppet show rolls on.

http://www.newcastlevipers.com/latest-h ... e-punished Looks like tit for tat to me. The league has only themselves to blame for this, after the Harsh ban on Voth other clubs are going to follow suit and pick up on any incident and report to the league.
I think there will be many more times this season that this is going to go on.
