Sharks' Thornton repeatedly slashes Kings' Forbort
by from on (#278ZG)
Joe Thornton lost his cool on New Year's Eve.
Just ask Los Angeles Kings defenseman Derek Forbort, who found himself on the receiving end of a trio of forceful slashes from the San Jose Sharks forward in the third period Saturday night, the last of which was a direct hit on Forbort's right arm.
Thornton was assessed a minor penalty as a result, but he may be in line for more in the form of supplemental discipline.
The Sharks and Kings renew hostilities Tuesday night.
