Joe Thornton is an all-time great playmaker, and really known for not being much of a finisher at all.
But at the height of the DPE with the Bruins he had seasons scoring 36 and 37 goals while missing games: high end scoring finishes for the time, barely missing out on the top 10.
After the lockout, he never cracked 30 goals again. He had six 20+ goal seasons, twice netting 29 in 81 and 82 games respectively, but was more known for a long series of pretty ridiculous assists-to-goal ratios.
How would you explain Thornton peaking as a goal scorer in Boston before the lockout?
