Oh, well my mistake.

I didn't realize Thornton was this generation's Ray Bourque.

I don't hate the Sharks, but I simply don't care to see them win. I guess it's cool to see the Pacific division have success though, just to say that we have the best division in hockey. I've never found Thornton to be in the same caliber of quality/likeable leader type as Iginla though. He is the best playmaker in the league for a decade though, I'll give him that. I just have no personal stake in seeing him reach success. Seems like kind of a "meh" character though. Alfredsson, Datsyuk, even the Sedins if they weren't on that awful team are more the sort of guys I could get behind because of their character.

But I guess that's good for fans that see him as the hockey hero type. By all means, I guess... It would be entertaining to see Burns and his cotton candy beard lift the cup.

But a win for Crosby would be good PR for the game. So I dunno. I'll settle for an entertaining series, whichever way it goes.
