Bruins sign Thorton, Travis Green

Posted on August 18, 2005 | Filed Under Sports

The Boston Bruins have made moves to solidify their front line this week by signing center Joe Thorton and Travis Green. Two great moves by the Bs. Getting Green back on the roster was definitely a great move, but getting Thorton was an absolute must.

Thorton, in a few short years, has become the backbone of the Bruins — not every team has someone to fill that roll. With the addition of veterans like Brian Leetch, Thorton is free to work his magic with Glen Murray and Samsonov.

If I have one wish for this season it’s that the league keeps to its word and speeds up the game. These no talent players that hook and grab to keep up with players like Thorton need to either learn how to play the game or get the hell out of the league.
