Bruin in hot water over 'awful' episode

The Boston Bruins' last-minute win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday was overshadowed by Shawn Thornton's takedown of Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik.

Zdeno Chara scored with 13 seconds left in regulation after David Krejci tied it late, lifting the Bruins to a 3-2 win in a game that saw Orpik taken from the ice on a stretcher.

Midway through the opening period, Thornton was given a match penalty for grabbing Orpik from behind, pulling him to the ice and punching him when he was down. Orpik appeared to be dazed by a punch, but may have also hit his head on the ice.
