The giant grin on Tim Thomas’s face at 1:40 during Thornton’s bout with Barch, encapsulates every Bruins fan watching this game.

[@johndoe-fq7ez]

yes I was just about to comment that this was my favorite moment of this video

[@storyofcory]

“Thirty-five seconds in… three fights and a goal! Ya havin’ fun yet?!"

[@petelandry1149]

Easily one of the most entertaining hockey teams for that period of time... grit and skill.

[@greysonG10]

I genuinely think the Bruins from like 2009-2014 we're one of, if not the toughest team ever. Had 3 of the best fighters in the NHL in Lucic, Thornton and McQuaid. And then you had the biggest dude in league history, who wasn't necessarily an amazing fighter, but like the one guy that not even the best fighters wanted to go at in Chara. And then guy's like Boychuck and Siedenberg who were both big bodies and could lay some big hits. Even Horton was a big body who could handle his own, not to mention Miller and Iginla in the later years.. I miss this team.

I love McQuaid's three punch combo to put down his opponent...thing o beauty!

[@garysullivan3144]

sorry i counted 5

[@kyleanderson3320]

I'm only 15 years old, but I remember this game vividly. I was 11 and I was sitting in Logan Airport waiting for my flight to Florida. My flight was delayed an hour or so, and my dad decided to go to the sports bar in the airport while we waited and he took me with him. I remember sitting at a table with my dad watching the first 3 fights. We saw all 3 fights and the two Bruins goals and then our flight arrived. The fights and goals took about 15 minutes to finish and it was perfect timing for the flight.

[@imcarolean]

This 2011 team was something special

[@allaboutNDIRISH]

its stupid that people say Thornton is dirty..notice how he tells the refs "yea hes done" instead of continuing to beat his head in.

lol...just got suspended for punching Orpik

[@hagamapama]

Thornton was the exact opposite of dirty. Good tough Canadian fighter

[@heathflagtvedt5769]

Thornton was dirty but he was just and fair at the same time. Thornton was a quintessential enforcer/grinder hybrid. I hate boston but always admired Thornton.

[@itsarourke]

Everything to love about the 2011 team in one awesome video.... Fast forward to 2015, what the hell happened?!

[@kingsman1106]

Yeah, the 2011 Bruins reminded me of the 1970s Flyers. They wouldn't just beat you, they would beat you UP.

Correction. They are not hired by the Boston Bruins. They are hired by NESN (New England Sports Network) which is primarily owned by the Boston Red Sox. The Bruins have no say in who announces the games. But hey! Good effort!
