As for the bitterness against the Sharks, you do realize they have won a total of 0 cups in those 15 years right? Every year the team is set to do well and they end up getting nowhere. Getting Tavares does not mean they will win the Stanley Cup -- cause Thornton in his prime certainly didn't make it happen and he was better.

SJ hasn't won any cups? Thanks for the info lol
They've made the playoffs 14/15 years and have whooped our asses on a regular basis most of that time. Then they scoop us on Kane and he just lights our asses up down the stretch last year, and now it looks like they'll get a franchise #1 C in his prime just as Thornton is getting close to shutting it down.
I'm not worried about them winning the Cup. I'm worried about the fact that we compete directly with them for playoff spots and they won't go away even after a decade and a half and now (if they land JT) will have added two 30+ goal scorers in their primes to their roster in the last 4 months.
I'm sorry if Jay Bouwmeester picking us 9 years ago doesn't make me feel any better about it.
