Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton were drafted 1st and 2nd overall in 1997, but both their careers have been defined by an inability to win the ultimate prize.
I was born in 1999 and Patty Marleau was drafted in 1997. All I have ever known as a Sharks fan is a team with Marleau. He's a legend and I hope he finds success in Toronto. Farewell Patty.
I wanted those guys to win the Cup so bad in 2016, almost as if I was with them. I really wish they would have. I've been a Sharks fan since I was very little and got NHL 95. I've also played hockey most of my life and know what it is like in a dressing room and on road trips with the guys. Both of those men are the true faces of the Sharks, especially Marleau. It is nice that at least they can say they got there, but it would have been so much greater for those two to have won the Cup together. They are both Hall of Famers in my book.
бля, тож оч хочу, чтобы старина Торнтон поднял кубок. Я как и ты играю в NHL на компьютере, но я играю в 09 и я играю за Шаркс в режиме dynasty mode, и поднял за Торнтона Стэнли
I wouldn't feel too sad, his window hasn't closed yet, he's still playing at a high level, he's a first ballot hall of famer, hockey is the reason he met his wife and has his kids, and he's a legend for a franchise. Cups are hard to win, that's why they must all be cherished like shooting stars
Could top Selanne for the most deserved cup if he gets it, I hope his career gets one.. Burns and Pavelski seem to really be helping out. I personally think Thornton is gonna hang on until he gets top 5 point leader of all time, he would need roughly 400 more points. If he went for that, he would likely be 2nd in assists of all time next to the untouchable Gretzky. Not too farfetched considering he's still getting quite high points every season, bit less this season because of injuries. I have faith in the Sharks, though I miss Nabokov.
This is true. Sharks i feel have another 2 years max to win a Stanley Cup. Its still possible even with Marleau gone. Pavelski and Couture are hella sick players that could have breakout playoffs as i said the next few seasons until the window starts to shut
0:45 .. *look son, an idiot.* jokes aside, these two make such a great story. I really enjoyed this video. This will probably be the last time we see this
+SkyBlu14 uhh he's not though... Look at the penguins announcer.. He's the worst, the oilers one isn't much better. Edwards says some stupid things but all and all isn't a huge bias compared to some
He needs one. So does Marleau. I just hope that if he is traded he goes to a cup contender kind of like Ray Borque. And if the sharks start rebuilding, Jumbo too.
