Not exactly amazing stats line, but .77 ppg in the playoffs and 15th most points since 1990 (completely arbitrary date) doesn't scream playoff choker either.
.77 PPG is an acceptable benchmark for your average 1st liner. When youre Joe Thornton, the expectations are a lot higher than .77 PPG.
He has the 15th most points because hes played a long time and the Sharks were a perennial playoff team, not because he’s like the 15th best PO performer. Also, using your arbitrary start date, he’s 2nd in RS points. 2nd to 15th is hardly something to be proud of, and hardly refutes the idea of him being a choker.
