Joe Thornton - Lousy Ventriloquist (Funny stuff)

Yeah I love that one. He looks crazy, but he pulls if off real well. I am hoping for a very big year for #19, especially with #15 there. Should be fun to watch those 2 and #16 with that mix. That has to be one of the best lines in the NHL. But we shall see what they do when it matters.

So when do the Sharks plan on announcing their captain! It has to be JT, right?

Thornton is a guy who has a good chance to make it into the Hall Of Fame yet his career will be viewed as a disappointment by many unless he wins a Stanley Cup.

He doesn't take over games in the playoffs like other Superstars and people wonder with his size and skill, how come he doesn't score more goals. His stock around the NHL has dipped to the point where he's no longer a lock for the Olympic team.

Because its hard to score goals when you're camped out behind the net, rather than crashing the net like a player of his size and skill should be doing. He's a talented player just doesn't use his skills as well as he should.

That is true, but his best talent is passing the puck. No one does it better not even Sid. Call me a Homer all you want, but even if I was a Pens fan I would say the same thing. When he was on Boston I said the same thing about his passsing ability. He is amazing how he can get it on the tape, just ask Cheechoo. I have a feeling with Heater and Set on his line. He might end with a 100 to 120 assist this year. That is if he and Heater Jel!

You're a homer.

Sid and Savard are definitely just as good, if not better at setting people up. I'll even throw Henrik Sedin out there, if he'd set up anyone else nearly as well as he sets up his brother.

Big Joe is very good, but everytime I get to watch him play, it's like he just proves the Bruins right.

Tonight was going to be a tough game. Being Joe night. The team played great, so you have to tip your hat to Col. I like Marleau lines and Joe and Heat will get it going. And Joe is the best passer.
