Joe Thornton states desire to remain in San Jose past this season: “I’m a Shark”

SAN JOSE — Joe Thornton is confident the Sharks can get back into the playoffs next year and said he fully intends to resign with the team in the offseason and come back in the fall.

“I’m a Shark,” Thornton said Thursday morning. “The ownership’s great and it just trickles all the way down. I feel good, I feel healthy. We still have (19) games left, so a lot can happen. But I feel good.”
