Player of the Week: Joe Thornton

Jumbo Joe had quite the night tonight, with a hat trick and 2 helpers, to give him a 5 point night and the first star of the game.



Thornton, named captain of the Sharks this year with the retirement of former captain Rob Blake, was also the captain of the Boston Bruins for three years, won the Art Ross and Hart Trophy in 2006, won gold in Vancouver and will soon reach 1000 points (he is sitting at 931 at the start of this season and with his lowest point total for the past 5 years being 86, there is no reason to think he won't hit 1000 this year). But hey, he is just like you and me (just a really good hockey player):


Unfortunately for him, he sucks at being a ventriloquist. Tough life.



He is good enough to fool his fellow teammates though!
