That same team had Ekman second in points with 55. You really aren’t understanding how offensively weak those sharks teams were....
Weak minded? A Hart, Art Ross, and being the best playmaker of his generation. Wow, so weak....take your “expertise” somewhere else, all it’s coming off as is saltiness.
they both benefited from the same scoring era. Only difference being Thornton having better seasons before the lockout.
ya....with BRETT HULL. Surrounded by tons of HOF talent. He was then put on the same line as Zetterberg. Nothing like Thornton had to do, which was carry a line/team into the playoffs.
I’m not debating on whether or not Datsyuk performed better in the post season. Zetterberg performed better in that same time frame though...having 9 more points and the same defensive abilities.....is he more elite than Thornton?
Yes, Zetterberg for much of that time frame was better after 2007 but he declined quicker than both despite being younger and had lower lows in the regular season. I would put a peak Zetterberg comfortably head to head with any player of this era in the playoffs.
