Thornton had 65 assists last season. That's more than Nash had in total points (39). You want someone to drive possession and set up goals for your snipers, Thornton will do it. Did I mention Thornton never misses games and makes less money than Nash?
George is talking out of his ass, Thornton > Nash.
100 career playoff points isn't being a ghost. Some years he averaged a point per game in the playoffs. Nash disappeared in the playoffs. They may have won the Cup if he scored a little more.
God I hate that you're making me defend Joe Thornton. #-O
all im saying is i wouldnt not under any circumstance want thornton on my team. he may have all the numbers but dude is not clutch. how can u be a leader of a team and let them come back 3-0 on you.. every year the sharks are great, picked to win, always fail. they havent even been in the final. thorton can stay where he is, go to det, ny whereever... just dont want him on the flyers.
Maybe he shouldn't be a captain, but on a team like the Wings who have been there and done that, he wouldn't need to lead. Offense wasn't the reason the Sharks lost. They couldn't keep it out of their net.
To be clear, I don't want Thornton. He'll cost too much to get. But if I had to take Nash or Thornton and the asking price was the same, I'm taking Thornton, no question.

Nash and Norton play well together. Maybe he can pick up Nash's game a little..
Nash would be perfect with giroux... Last player we need is Thornton. Hope he goes to Detroit.

In the regular season. Ghost in the playoffs. Rather have the exact opposite.
Philly fan...consider the source
Rangers fans... ghost until this year... back to ghost.

>Implying that LA wasn't the goat this season
nigga la is beast, but no team should let any team come back 3-0. Just shouldn't happen.

I don't want that motherfucker either. He's on his way to playing golf at the old folks home.
home opener against the Bruins? Fuck yeah I'm there.
we got Toronto for home opener
don't even need to see who disagreed. Prob my #1 fan.
