The 2014-15 season was a very interesting one for the face of the San Jose Sharks franchise, Joe Thornton. Thornton had the captaincy stripped from him before the season began and San Jose was never able to shake that storyline throughout the year. The entire thing blew up down the stretch when Thornton told general manager Doug Wilson that he needed to stop lying.
Not exactly the kind of stuff you want to see between the best player on your team and the GM.
On the ice, Joe Thornton is still be a highly productive player, although his numbers regressed from what he posted during the 2013-14 season.
