Great Fan support. My only beef is as much as I love Big Joe, I wish he would be more selfish sometimes. When he starts skating with that puck he can dance with the puck like any of the top puck handlers in the game today. His shot is awesome I wish he would use it more often and become a consistant 30 goal scorer and even out his game a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-90600604325057876482007-03-28T06:32:00.000-07:002007-03-28T06:32:00.000-07:00Though it's arguable that with the 03-04 Bruins th...<I>Though it's arguable that with the 03-04 Bruins the entire team was Joe Thornton, so he didn't exactly have a lot to work with.</I><BR/><BR/>It's also arguable that Thornton had broken ribs that year, so you can kind of see why he didn't perform up to snuff.Doogie2Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703778878103452453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-88074132628000041662007-03-27T14:44:00.000-07:002007-03-27T14:44:00.000-07:00At this point my hate is mostly left over from the...At this point my hate is mostly left over from the Owen "Thug" Nolan/ Bryan "Knee Surgeon" Marchment years. But it's a strong hate.<BR/><BR/>Plus they beat Dallas for the Pacific division title a couple years back, so I hate them for that.<BR/><BR/>Plus <I>Teal?</I> Please.<BR/><BR/>And I don't think the ding on Thornton in Boston was he was a regular season choker, It was that he disappeared in the playoffs. Which: 46 GP 8-19-27 -14 Carreer Playoffs? And '03-'04 Playoffs for the B's? 7Gp 0-0-0 -6 after 73 points in 77 games +18 regular season?
