Joe Thornton as of right now, is the best San Jose Shark of all time.
Hell yeah! Jumbo Joe immortalized along with Marleau! It's kinda crazy that the first two numbers retired in Sharks history are a couple of Xennials born in 1979.
Congrats to Joe. Tough guy on the ice (especially to play against), but such a personality. Definitely deserving of this honor. I appreciate you talking about Joe Thornton, the person. We don’t see quite as much of this across the country.
Nice piece! Nice to see some well done commentary by American fans. Hockey is amazing and Jumbo lived it that way every day!!
When I saw the Bruins selected "this kid" I was thinking….no way he lasts. Boston is going to eat him up. Nope, never happened. Thornton was a perfect fit for Boston and played his butt off there. Then they stupidly traded him to San Jose for what? I don't even remember….that's how good those guys were. Maybe they were better prior to Boston…doesn't matter…Sharks stole Joe from Boston. Nice job Mike O'Connell! LOL Of course O'Connell was smart enough to sign me in 2003….but they said it wasn't a real NHL contract (6.6 million!). HAHA "Bruin for a Day" program…anyways. Congrats to Grizzly Joe on his number retirement!! No doubt he'll be in Toronto next year for the HOF induction.
Can't wait to see the Maple Leafs legend /j be brought to the rafters
Awesome video Brodie, you provide a great glimpse into the Bay Ares Sports scene with passion and help bring Skarks fans from Cansda news about Skarks
Great leader on and off the ice – and supporting the future of San Jose Sharks!
Nice to see a video on here that is based on something factual and is going to happen.
I went to highschool with Joe Thornton. Just before the 1997 World Junior Championships in Switzerland, Footlocker was running a promotion to send 2 ppl to Switzerland for free. Joe and another Soo Greyhound teammate (which I will leave nameless) came into Footlocker. Joe started filling out one of the ballots for the contest. His teammate walked up to him and asked "Why are you filling that out? We're both going to Switzerland." I couldn't help myself, standing at the desk, I replied "Well we know Joe's going…but what makes you think you're going?" Joe – being the most stand up hockey player I've ever met – told his teammate "If I win, I can send my parents for free." That's Joe Thornton. Humble. Thinking of others. Far from his conceded teammates. He had every reason to have a big ego and a swelled head – and he never did. He's the best kind of people. ❤
Excellent history of Jumbo and his oversize personal;ity on and off the ice. The Nazem Kadri fight with ripped out Thornton beard shots is one of a kind hockey history! I am sad Joe did not make the 500 goal mark but the reason is probably that he would rather pass to a team mate and get another assist. Almost every goal is a team effort and who gets that final touch into net matters less than the whole process of scoring, including screening the goalie and fighting for clearing in front of net. The biggest thing about Jumbo is his body mastery and use of his size as a power forward to dominate part of the game. Sharks need 2 or 3 more power forwards cloned out of a Jumbo cell, maybe that clump of beard hair could be recovered and turned over to a mad hockey scientist for some Jumbo experiments. Jumbo was also of course one of the most entertaining hockey players of the last 50 years. I wonder what his future will be with the Sharks.
JOHN TORTORELLO WAS RIGHT!
Thanks for the heart breaks jumbo
Even though I am a golden knights fan joe getting his number retired is much deserved
Was supposed to go but got food poisoning so I’ll be supporting from home! I’ve been tearing up all day thinking about this beautiful man being honored by the Sharks. It’s going to be amazing and I can’t wait to see his banner up there next to Marleau!
Is Pavelski next?
Good luck Joe …. One of the best
I’m sorry but the only person who was missing from this event was you Brodie, still miss you falling all over the ice. Not a dry eye in the ice tonight, much deserved ceremony for a special player and person.
Joe Thorton did nothing to deserve a # up in the rafters as well as Marleau. The skated well,we're well over paid and delivered nothing but points(mostly assists)and goals that rarely helped them in the win column. Boston had seen something in their # 1 pick,and were so right to move him.Sorry Joe ,you maybe a great guy,and Marlau as well,but do not deserve the limelight…Irbe,Nabakov,Larinov and Pavelski and Makarov deserve this night more than you…..
Marleau is the face of the Sharks, but Thornton put the Sharks on the hockey map. Thanks to him, he made outsiders believe that we were contenders in the 2000's and 2010's.
Hopefully, the HHOF won't mess around and leave him out.

Watching the ceremony last night hit square in the feels. What a beautiful tribute and honor. I also love the former teammates that came for both Jumbo and Patty. Heatley and Settogucci were both Atlanta Thrashers when I lived in the city.
The Legends game & retirement ceremony were just amazing!! Wouldn’t have missed them for the world. Was well worth the trip down from WA. Only thing missing was you Brodie!
Forgot what a sold out Tank felt like. Was nice to have all that energy in the arena again. Except during intermission when you were trying to walk around the concourse.
It seemed like EVERYONE was at the Tank to celebrate Joe, and rightfully so. Even spotted Tomas Hertl’s wife & their boys on the concourse during intermission.
Only person missing from the ceremony was Jumbo’s best friend Slappy. Iykyk.
Hi sweet speech jumbo Joe Thornton!!
One day when my kids were taking skating lessons at SJ Ice, Joe comes out in his practice gear with Setoguchi. He starts helping the instructor show the kids “T-Stops” then tells Devon to show a snow plow, I could tell Joe was showing Setoguchi to give back even though he was kinda the hot shot at the time. Love me my Joe Thornton.
Being a Bruins fan I knew they were letting go of a special player. He was becoming popular in the short time with the B's. Always knew he'd be an all around great player.
Tarps off!!!!
