Sharks need Joe Thornton to come up Jumbo in playoffs

Who was the Sharks' most valuable player this season?
Several Sharks were key to the team's best regular season in three years but which one was the most important? Throughout the Joe Thornton era, it's been fairly easy to identify who the San Jose Sharks' most valuable player is every season. Mostly because it's usually Joe Thornton. He certainly qualified in 2005-06 when he took home the Hart Trophy as the overall league MVP and continued to be the Sharks' most valuable player through the 2008-09 season before Patrick Marleau picked up the mantle in each of the two seasons after that. Evolving into a two-way force, Thornton was again San...

Sharks @ Ducks Preview: For The Division
If the Ducks win, the division is theirs. It's kind of a big one. Last time out, the Ducks played a pretty damn good game against the Sharks but got a rough early whistle and were subsequently overpowered by the beastliness (surprised spell check recognizes that as a word) of Brent Burns and Joe Thornton. Since then both teams have had chances to take the division race by the horns and claim it as their own, but have put up some lackluster results that make this one rather important. Since that game in San Jose, the Ducks have gone 6-2-1 against all non-playoff teams, while the Sharks...

Brent Burns leads Sharks over Ducks in game, division race
3-2 win gives San Jose sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division for the first time since early December. Todd McLellan's strategy of loading up his top line with three of the team's best forwards in Joe Thornton, Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski is certainly a gamble and one that can burn the Sharks when that trio runs cold and there isn't enough depth up front to compensate. But tonight, in the team's biggest game of the season so far, it paid off in a huge way as Burns scored the game-winning goal with four minutes remaining in the third period after assisting on a Thornton...
