It’s crime that Jumbo Joe never won a cup.

[@beyond_thebench]

A damn crime!

[@jaipaulsethi6880]

him and pavelski probably the best players to never win

[@nep401]

Don't forget Marleau

[@nersharific813]

I felt like I was going crazy at number 2. Why’d you say the same thing three times? 😂

As a Sharks Fan, it was an Honor and Privilege to be able to watch Thornton all those Years! Too bad he never got that Shiny Thing!

[@beyond_thebench]

A damn shame! But what a career!

[@EthanChin67]

Is it just me, or would Jumbo Joe be the BEST beer leaguer EVER. He has the beard, no visor, and he looks like he is really funny😂

[@beyond_thebench]

LOL just one of the boys. Legend!

[@EthanChin67]

@@beyond_thebench oh yeah 100%

My favourite memory of Joe is how he used to do his interviews naked when the NHL first allowed female reporters into the changeroom.The league had to step in and make him wear a towel as it made the female reporters uncomfortable.

[@beyond_thebench]

Ya 😂 What a beauty! Hey, I mean it is a locker room lol

[@tyler5197]

But did you know he won the Hart while on 2 differnet teams?
He also played for 2 teams the year he won the Hart. 😂

[@beyond_thebench]

😂 proof reading on that section was a little off lol

[@KickAssets]

Crazy how much he looks like me (face)...and I hate shaving. Also I love passing in hockey as well.

[@SSThunDerHawK]

Another legend to never lift the cup.

[@beyond_thebench]

Hardest championship to win in sports!

[@billsouza4457]

Worst trade the Bruins ever made. I am a Bruins fan.

[@beyond_thebench]

The Rask trade makes up for it (Leafs fan) 😂

[@chimmels9241]

The most bs trade ever was thorton from the bruins

[@beyond_thebench]

Was an interesting one ya haha

[@tylerdurden4006]

"No-show Joe" was his nickname for a reason, he is not interesting, he is the most overhyped player of all time that accomplished nothing.
