Shawn Thornton Fights Former Bruins Teammate Adam McQuaid (Video)

Boston Bruins fans are used to watching Shawn Thornton punch people. They’re not, however, accustomed to seeing him punch Bruins.

The former Bruin squared off against a current one for the first time Monday night, dropping the gloves with ex-teammate Adam McQuaid during Boston’s matchup with the Florida Panthers.

The Bruins led 4-1 at the time, and after McQuaid was called for boarding on Logan Shaw, Thornton decided to take matters in his own hands. The two threw a number of rather half-hearted punches before Thornton ultimately prevailed.

Thornton, who spent seven seasons with the Bruins before joining the Panthers in 2014, was given five minutes for fighting, two for instigating and a 10-minute misconduct for his role in the scrap.
