SAN JOSE -- Largely because of their two Joes, the Sharks are two games away from the Stanley Cup Finals.
Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski had a pair of assists each as the Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues 3-0 on Thursday night.Jumbo and Pavs -- nicknames to help tell them apart -- lead a first line that's on an offensive roll right now.They are, at times, the Greatest Joes on Earth. "It's fun to watch,'' center Nick Spauling said after the Sharks took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference Finals."They're two great players, they've played together so long, they read off each other well.
