Joe Thornton, a celebrated NHL player with a 24-year career, is poised to be the first to predominantly play for the San Jose Sharks and be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. His impressive stats include ranking sixth in all-time games played and seventh in assists. Having spent 15 years with the Sharks, he transformed the franchise into a competitive force in the league. Thornton’s humility is reflected in his comments about Hall of Fame induction being a 'pipe dream,' despite his monumental achievements.
I think he's one of the greatest players that ever played the game. The great players make everybody around them better. You go back and you look at every single player that ever played with Jumbo; their numbers just went way up, and that's because of Jumbo.
That's a pipe dream. You know, that stuff doesn't happen.
