Joe Thornton man crush engage.

These are the things that make legends as opposed to just great players. Joe Thornton could have come here and been a great player and we would all love him the same as we do now. But it’s when us fans hear things like this from our beloved players, that this is the only place they want to play, and it’s the likes of Joe Thornton saying it, that is how they become engraved into our hearts.

So I’ll be the first, and definitely not the last to say, Joe Thornton we are honored to have you play for us, the greatest hockey fans in the league, and hope you are here for the rest of your career. raises glass

Suck it!

That’s a lot of classy in one article.

OnDubs already captured most of what I want to say. It’s fantastic to hear about a player that enjoys living here, especially when it’s one of the best players on the team. Hopefully next Joe will buy a downtown restaurant and give Owen Nolan a run for his money after they both retire.

And on this note:

And the family has grown with the birth of its first child, daughter Ayla, on July 14.

Congrats to the Thorntons for the off-season addition!

Thornton and his wife rode down my street on beach cruisers recently. I’d say he likes the SJ lifestyle.

I like the quote:

I’ve had the good contracts. I’ve gotten all the points. I’m just playing for a Cup now.

Is that his way of saying he doesn’t care about the money, and that he’ll be signing a lifetime deal at a 500k cap hit?? My fingers are crossed…lol

Who is this guy? Pass, no thanks!

JK :) cant wait to lock him up to an extension; im guessing 4 years to match Marleau’s

They could, and they did. And today, Thornton can’t see himself anywhere else.

Awwwww. I always like to see a player happy with his team. Joe is coolness.

So, this is pretty awesome to me. Sign him up, make him captain, and I’ll be a happy camper!

OT – but you guys, go rec my idea … the one that is green already. thx kindly!

Rudy & Meg – no peeking!

The only thing that could have endeared him to me more is if he did this interview naked, with Slappy, while throwing in a few Woolly Mammoths references along the way.

It’s a great place. The fans are awesome. The team is a Championship contending team. What more could you ask for?

Have loved him from day one! Making him captain will be the icing on the cake!

who the hell is John Thornton

He plans on being part of it. John Thornton said he began talks with Sharks general manager Doug Wilson in early July about another extension. (Thornton previously signed a three-year extension in 2007.) Ayla’s birth put the discussion on the back burner, but the Thorntons both sound confident a deal will happen.
Said John Thornton: “We’re moving in the right direction.”
