We've become jaded when it comes to Joe Thornton's incredible passing ability. He makes five passes a game that most of us wouldn't try in a video game, let alone in the NHL.

The Sharks have great, well-educated fans but you know a pass is good when half the arena ooos and ahhhs even before the puck hits Hertl right on the tape.
