The Noon Number

BOSTON MA - DECEMBER 02:  Shawn Thornton #22 of the Boston Bruins reacts after his goal in the second period against the Tampa Bay Lightning on December 2 2010 at the TD Garden in Boston Massachusetts.  (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

6 - The total number of goals scored by Shawn Thornton over the past calendar year.

Not designed to pile on Scott Gomez (ok, maybe a bit a lot), but having a fourth liner like Thornton who brings a bunch of muscle while also chipping in on the offensive end makes his $812,500 salary seems that much better when compared to Gomez's $7.35 million deal.

…unless of course, you happen to be a blood-thirsty Bruins fan.

Then we should be just fine.

Peachy in fact.

It’s a good thing Stu feels no pain

Because that looks like it would have sucked if he did.

I would take Thornton any day over Gomez.

I almost think the Habs fans would too.

oh but don’t you know about his possession skills? (EOTP has been trying to rationalize his value hard)

I stand with Tuukka Rask in his fight to be a starting goaltender

Possession is important.

So is scoring goals when you cost 7.5 million (lol)

He goes down like he was shot. Good to know he’s ok, though.
