Eh, there is yapping all the time. Besides we do not know what was said other than Thronton's view...which is usually pretty skewed to begin with. The yapping was probably only brought up because Thronton reacted and either (1) was asked by the media why he reacted; or (2) brought it up himself to the media as most of the larger yappers tend to due when they obviously let their pussy get hurt by a comment.
Also, the yapping does work, as much as people would like to think it does not. Why else would have Thronton reacted if it did not? I am going with the pussy hurt option.
As far as the game, Boston was more than ready for this one and that was evident from the get go. The 'Hawks were hanging in there until the two quick goals from Boston, but ultimately I had the feeling going into the second that unless the 'Hawks got lucky bounces they were going to lose.
Oh well, on to Friday and the BJ's. Dallas needs 4 more points than the 'Hawks to push them out of the playoffs (yes I am already writing Calgary out, but they need 4 more points as well). Games left: Flamers 5, Hawks 6, Stars 7.
