Comments on: Thornton still thinks Sharks are “one of the best teams in the NHL” http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/27/thornton-still-thinks-sharks-are-one-of-the-best-teams-in-the-nhl/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 26 May 2013 02:46:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: puckish27 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/27/thornton-still-thinks-sharks-are-one-of-the-best-teams-in-the-nhl/comment-page-1/#comment-99673 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 01:36:24 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=846357#comment-99673 In a completely fair and equal world, a given team would win one championship every 30 years, or one for however many teams are in their respective sport. You’d still be fortunate to get one in your adult lifetime.

Yankees, Cowboys, Canadiens, Celtics, Bulls, Steelers and Oilers mess up the fairness. That’s why the games are played.

The Sharks have been in contention, had a better than average shot, every year under Doug Wilson. That’s what you want.

Also, Love the game first; your team 2nd. The game is pure and will never disappoint you; your team inevitably will.

Go Cubs!

He’s really the only veteran big name player that went above and beyond this season. I’d say dump niemi, marleau, and Demers. Then work with that extra money. Marleau had no excuse for such a terrible season. Niemi is becoming a choke artist. Demers just all around sucks and is a hot head. Bring back mcguinn and Heatly and setogucci.

Your glory will come sooner than expected

Trading them away for picks/prospects would fast track a rebuild which would center around Couture, Pavelski, Burns, and whatever good prospects they can acquire. The way the sharks are going they wont win the cup with the current roster, so the sooner they blow it up and bring in new pieces the sooner they become a legitimate threat in the playoffs again

That core of players are still active. You can’t judge player/coaching careers until the are over.

I’d like to see the Sharks win a Cup.

But… currently SJ, Van, Wash are writing ‘another’ kind of history.

The Sharks have been so good for soooo long, it just feels wierd.

Horrible example using the kings. Took them 45 years to do it. Canucks, caps and sharks should have won by now. They have not though. They will win eventually.

I agree also that history has not been written yet. The sharks still have time. If the core team leaves and they have not won yet, I will be heart broken. Lol

If time goes on and they don’t win and joe and that core of players leave/retire then you can say they were chokers. History has not been written yet and there is still time left for them to get it done…even if the window of opportunity is smaller.

They’ve been good enough every year.

Sharks, Canucks, Caps – it’s all talk.

LA got that monkey off their back.

Time to:

1) Prove it

2) Win a Cup

Anything less is just cheerleading.

We lost to Chicago who went to win the cup. Lost to Vancouver who took Boston to 7 games. The blues situation is strange though. That series was just a mess.

I think the sharks can do it within the next 2-3 years. I hope they can.

Clearly this combo doesn’t work. Might as well get rid of the old guys while you still can. Just my opinion

Regular Season success is great (cough cough Vancouver). Jumbo Joe has all the right in the world to say what he thinks, but we will take him seriously when he FINALLY gets the monkey of his back.
