Joe Thornton all time leaders watch.

I mean they like to talk about how he's a choker. Not for any actually good reason.

Nah the majority of them changed there minds after the cup run.

Even though couture had the 30 points thornton was still in the running as lots of theres smyth winner.

 

[Pavelski2112]

He’s 10000% gonna be a first ballot hall of famer. Any other outcome is unacceptable

The NHL will find a way. Their incompetence and narrative-treading will lead the way.

That was from when he was with the B's and played the playoffs with a cracked rib and he did not do
as well. Boston media is ruthless!

Torn rib cartilage is what they called int in 02-03.

On a related note, if we do extend Jumbo and Patty one more year, Marleau is set up to surpass Gordie Howe for the most GP in the history of Hockey. He needs something like 60 more to take over 1st place all time.

To put it in perspective how hard it is to get 1500 points. you would have to average 100 points per season over 15 years to reach that total.

Then take into account that thornton misses a year and a half of his prime years due to lockouts. And also a rookie season where he played 7 minutes a game and finished with 7 points.

It is pretty amazing and he did it with only 3 100 point seasons.

If Marleau plays every game the rest of this season in San Jose, he will need to play 33 games next season to surpass Gordie Howe for #1.

Will be a damn shame if we don't re-sign him. I'm in the boat where we probably aren't winning it next year just let Thornton and Marleau make the season meaningful by breaking records.

And if he plays 30 more or so after that, he'll hit 1800 games.

 

[Barrie22]

Thornton should come back for 1 more year. Move into 12th all time in points. That way he will stay in the top 15 for at the very least another 20 years since there are only 3 active players that has a realistic shot at moving past him. And those are crosby, ovechkin, mcdavid.

Looks like Patty and Jumbo can still play, so i'd resign them for next season. 1M for jumbo, 750k for patty.

I like Pattys game since coming back from the Leaks/Babcock, he's more aggressive on the fore-check and goes to the net a little more.
