Joe Thornton doesn’t want to stop playing hockey. While other NHLers are training, Jumbo Joe is playing hockey in the Swiss League. He’s doing so in preparation for another NHL season, whenever that starts.
He is also a wanted man. Apparently, the Toronto Maple Leafs were interested and now Patrick Marleau is lobbying him to come back to San Jose. Doug Wilson, Sharks GM is keeping it close to the vest, but seems interested as well.
Old Man Joe Thornton still kicking
Joe Thornton is 41 years-old and has been sporting a magnificent beard lately.
