Listen, to many casual NHL fans, Joe Thornton is simply an Old Guy Without A Cup. However, to us Sharks fans, he is a living legend. Sure, he’s at the end of his career, but he is chasing a Stanley Cup and we have to support him. That’s why tonight, we celebrate his return to the ice after suffering an undisclosed injury. Plus, his team is still sitting pretty at the top of the Atlantic Division standings.
Boston Bruins (8-5-0)
The schedule has not been kind to the Bruins this year, but they got a nice five-day break this week and only hit the ice twice.
