Poor, but he is not alone.kytem2 said:I've only seen one game in the Olympics thus far (Canada versus Switzerland), and am just looking for some objective observations on Joe's play.

Thornton is not the only one who struggles right now. Almost entire team struggle.
If you say "Yes, I knew he would struggle in a big game like this!" then what will you say about Jarome "supposed to be a big game performer" Iginla this time?
Just wait and see. He's only 26, not 40 or something. He stil has plenty of time to prove himself. Actually, I heard he played pretty well during 04-05 Swiss League playoffs, and you guys can't deny he was one of the best players in the tournament in World Championship 2005.
Does that mean we should only expect Thorton to get worse?ark1 said:It only starts to count now.

khy206 said:Whatever, then how about the performance in World Championship 2005?
That IS a real competition, definitely.

bert said:Did you watch his performance in the gold medal game? Enough said. He cant handle pressure.
khy206 said:Wow, that is great. He played entire tournament well, and even selected as the MVP of the tournament. (correct me if I'm wrong) But you still say he sucks because he did not play well in only one game? I remember nobody on Team Canada played well in that game. Even Martin 'big game' Brodeur looked shaky.
It's like saying Iginla sucks because he didn't show up in game 6 & 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals even though he had great performance throughout the entire post season. What a joke.
I'm not gonna say Thornton wasn't a problem for Bruins' post season failure, but Jesus. Give him credits for what he'd done, at least.
