A day after the NHL trade deadline, Sharks center Joe Thornton expressed his disappointment Tuesday morning that he won’t have a chance this year to chase a Stanley Cup.
“I wanted a shot, believe it or not,” Thornton told reporters before the Sharks played the Philadelphia Flyers. “I’ve been hunting this thing down for 22 years, so I wanted another shot at it, and I wanted to get something in return, But it just didn’t work out. So, back to the grind and that’s how it is.”
