  1. Also shoutout to Jumbo wearing a Manchester United Jersey despite his brothers wearing liverpool jerseys haha

  2. Joe is the best! my friend played with him in the Sault for the Grey Hounds….and my uncle moved to San Jose pretty well when Joe showed up in San Jose living in the Silicon Mecca… what a guy… love to have a beer with him!!!! cheers from Sudbury!!🍻🍻🍻

  3. Toffoli is the perfect mentor for these two youngens as they rebuild this thing. Couture will also solidify the vet group whwn he comes back. Things are looking really teal right now! Go Sharks!

  4. Friggin' love Joe Thornton. Such a genuine dude and an immense talent. As a Bruins fan, I wish we kept him!

  5. I'm a diehard Kings fan, but have always had so much respect and admiration for Jumbo. Absolute legend on & off the ice!!!

  6. I’ll always have love for my sharks. Through the good times & the bad. Love ya boys 🫡👊🏼 great interview JD

  7. I grew up in Port Stanley. His brother Alex was a year older than me and we went to the same junior high and high school. I remember in high school hearing about his phenom brother Joe that was cooking it in minor hockey. Been living in Asia for nearly 30 years and was devastated watching the 2016 Finals and Joe missing that opportunity. By far one of the best to ever lace them up but more importantly a stand-up, humble role model of a human being. Never forgets his roots, thanking those around him and kind to everyone. He kept his boat at my father's marina and although I never had a chance to meet him, my father would gloat at how wonderful and respectful a guy he was. To this day. Congratulations Joe.

  8. I spotted a lfc kit , jumbo a LFC fan ? You'll Never Walk Alone Joe Thornton, thanks for everything you did for San Jose Sharks, the country of Canada, and the game of hockey . Greatest Sharks Player Ever.

  9. As a lifelong Bruins fan, and a longtime Joe Thornton fan, trading Joe… terrible. To this day it is one of- if not THE- worst trades in franchise history. Super happy he had such a illustrious career though! The guy is all-time!

  10. As a longtime Canucks' fan, I still greatly admired the play of both Joe Thornton and Jason Demers. Hearing the personal story behind the Bruins/Sharks' hockey legend- Joe Thornton- was greatly satisfying. Great, all-encompassing interview!

  11. Just when u think u can’t like jumbo Joe anymore then u do, he’s a giant kid that “just wants to play hockey” ur a legend Joe!! Thanks for everything u accomplished it was awesome

  12. Innocent people of high personal integrity do not make financial payments to their alleged victims!! They stand up and fight the allegations even if it has to be in court. Trump advocates such defense.
    – Michael Jackson paid off the parents of his alleged victims.
    – Diddy paid off Cassie following allegations of rape and before the hallway assault tape was public.
    – Diddy has recently been accused of trying to intimidate or financially pay off accusers and witnesses on other allegations of white party rapes.
