Shawn Thornton gets 40 stitches to face

[Forkboy]

BOSTON -- Boston Bruins forward Shawn Thornton received more than 40 stitches to close a nasty cut above his right eye after he was hit by the skate blade of Chicago Blackhawks forward Fernando Pisani in the second period of Boston's 3-0 win Tuesday night at TD Garden.

Referee Don Van Massenhoven assisted Thornton off the ice. As the two skated past the Blackhawks' bench, a Chicago player shouted something at Thornton, and the Bruins' pugilist took exception. He attempted to get past the ref and at the bench, but he was held back before exiting the ice.

"Something was said," Thornton said. "Obviously I can't swear when I talk to . There was some stuff said that I'm not happy about. I'm going to find out who it was and I will deal with it in my own way."
---
"Those guys on their team chirp a lot. I don't know if it is right when someone's face is half across the other side of their face, but it's a tough game and people have to live with their actions. If you guys ever find out who it is, don't be afraid to send me a Christmas card."
