BOSTONIt looks like some of the speculation was correct after taking all day to make the decision. Claude Julien looked like he was going to stick with the same bruins lineup after warm-ups, but hes instead opted to play Shawn Thornton while sitting Tyler Seguin in the press box as a healthy scratch.

The move is a surprise given that Thornton isnt expected to play more than a handful of minutes in Game Three and Seguin is one of the few players that could skate with the speedy Vancouver Canucks. But Julien has decided the Bruins will go with the emotional impact provided by a Thornton insertion into the lineup.

There certainly may be a few less shenanigans taking place with the Bs tough guy returning to the Bs fourth line.
