Boston Bruins forward Shawn Thornton is going to appeal his 15-game suspension. I can't imagine an independent arbitrator ruling in his favor, but we will soon find out.
So Shawn Thornton is appealing his 15-game suspension. First appeal is to Bettman, who will provide written judgment.

If, after receiving Bettman's judgment and narrative, Thornton wants to appeal that, he can go to independent arbitrator.
