Did nothing to cost us the win. Gets blamed anyways. Typical capfriendly leaf fans.

'did nothing' is an accurate summation of thornton for the last 21 games, lol (1 5v5 assist)

he must've borrowed barabanov's invisibility cloak

agreed

But he isn't invisible. Makes a lot of good little plays fairweather fans don't notice. Screens the goalie a lot. Keeps the cycle going. What most of the fans on here see is a faster player skating up ice and then it's all Thornton is too slow. In almost every one of those instances possession was lost and the puck was going up ice regardless of how fast Joe could be. Then once it's back in our zone he often makes smart plays along the boards to get the puck back and we go back. "But he has one point!". Points are not everything.
