Emotions boiled over in a game between the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night, resulting in a pair of ugly incidents. Tensions rose in the first period when Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik hit Bruins forward Loui Eriksson with what appeared to be a clean hit. Thornton attempted to engage Orpik in a fight, but the defenceman declined the invitation. Later on the same shift, the stick of Penguins captain Sidney Crosby became entangled in the skates of the Bruins Brad Marchand. Marchand fell to the ice and, as he was prone, the knee of Penguins James Neal made contact with Marchands head. As a scrum ensued following the kneeing incident, Thornton skated in behind Orpik, pulled him to the ice from behind with a slew foot and delivered several punches to his head, knocking him unconscious. Orpik was stretchered off the ice after a lengthy delay. Neal received a minor penalty for kneeing and Thornton received a match penalty with intent to injure for his attack on Orpik. The ball is now in the court of Brendan Shanahan and the NHL Department of Player Safety as the league will look to mete out supplementary discipline. But what does each player deserve? The chain of events was set in motion by Orpiks hit and his refusal to engage with Thornton. One of the leagues heavyweights, Thornton has never been suspended before in his career, but his attack on Orpik was clearly premeditated by what happened earlier in the shift. In an interview that ran on ESPN.com this week, Thornton was asked about the future of fighting in the NHL, Thornton positioned himself as a proponent of "the code." "Ive been a firm believer my whole life that what goes around comes around," Thornton told ESPN. "If youre one of those guys that suckers someone when theyre down or you go after somebody that doesnt deserve it or isnt the same category as you, that will come back and bite you at some point, too." Does this fall into that category and, if so, will it come back and bite him? Neal has been suspended twice before. In 2009, as a member of the Dallas Stars, Neal received two games for a hit from behind on the Columbus Blue Jackets Derek Dorsett. Then, in the 2012 Eastern Conference quarterfinals, Neal received one game for a charge on Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers. Considering that Neal is a repeat offender and Marchands prone status, what, if anything, does Neal deserve? Before the NHL hands down its suspensions, weigh in with how you would deal out justice in tonights incidents. What suspensions should be handed out? As always, its Your! Call. Fernandinho Jersey .

A wide-eyed 18-year-old visiting North America for only the second time in his young life, Caboclo immediately noticed the "big tower" his new home is best known for.Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Opposing quarterbacks surely wish two defensive ends didnt get hurt in the same practice during the early part of North Dakota State Universitys 2010 preseason camp. Then-head coach Craig Bohl changed plans and sent a true freshman named Kyle Emanuel off to work with the D-ends. And I just never came back, said Emanuel, who played mainly as a running back and linebacker in high school. Having put on nearly 30 pounds since that day, the 6-foot-3, 251-pound Emanuel has gone on to terrorize quarterbacks for NDSUs national championship program. A key member during the Bisons title three-peat, Emanuel has saved his best for last as a fifth-year senior, earning the 20th Buck Buchanan Award as the outstanding defensive player in the FCS. Emanuel received 70 of the 160 first-place votes and 495 points from a national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries. Villanova junior linebacker Don Cherry finished second and Montana defensive end Zack Wagenmann was third among 25 finalists. Emanuels fierce playing style doesnt match his calm off-the-field demeanor. During the regular season, he used his athleticism, speed and instincts to tie for the national high with 16.5 sacks and rank second with 27 tackles for loss. He added 70 total tackles, eight quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles, one interception and two pass breakups for coach Chris Kliemans squad. He was one of only two players in the FCS to be named The Sports Networks national defensive player of the week twice, and he went on to collect the Missouri Valley Football Conferences defensive player of the year award. Its just been unbelievable, said the construction management major (minor in business) from Schuyler, Nebraska. He has a 3.66 grade point average. Its been a culmination of a lot of things, a lot of hard work, a lot of great people here at NDSU - its truly a special place. Georgia Buchanan, whose late husband Buck is the namesake of the award - the Hall of Famer was the prototype for future NFL defensive linemen - presented the 20th annual award at The Sports Networks FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation. There were 160 ballots cast in the 2014 Buck Buchanan Award voting. Past winners include JJared Allen, Kroy Biermann, Dexter Coakley, Rashean Mathis and Arthur Moats, all current or past NFL players.dddddddddddd The results: 2014 Buck Buchanan Award.......1st....2nd....3rd....4th....5th....Total 1.
