If you just watch him his efforts are flawless and perfect every time. He is the pivot for this team every puck comes into him it and always comes out in the exact perfect spot and perfect weight every single time. Most of the time he gets a ton of flak for his efforts but he makes it look so simple its deceiving. Just watch next time there is a scrum in the corner he doesn't scrap to get it, he is just the smartest player out there and just seems to come out with it.
His past team/himself playoff performances drastically cast a shadow on how amazing a player he is.

I agree, Thornton is a Beast... People that harp on his lack of effort in the playoffs simply are NOT watching the game... This is at least 4 playoffs in a row where he has been very dominant...likely more.
