Thornton was an excellent fourth liner and one of the few "enforcers" capable of being an effective player.
Comparing him to Orr, Bourque, and O'Reilly is still silly.
Also, please stop being dumb re: Quick/Lundqvist. Lundqvist was not the reason the Rangers lost, nor was Quick the reason the Kings won. The Kings were the better and more opportunistic team. The Rangers' lack of finish is well known.
