Thornton's Thick Head Nearly Costs Perron His



You have got to admire San Jose Shark Joe Thornton for his persistance and stubbornness, which are both clearly beyond reproach. On Thursday night, no sooner does he get out of the box for a boarding call on Saint Louis Blue T.J. Oshie does he take out Oshie's teammate David Perron.

Clearly his determination to get a game misconduct last night was surpassed only by his career-long desire to eventually win a Stanley Cup. Well, at least he got one of them. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were him on the other, especially when he's got the mental capacity of a slow-witted goldfish to learn from his mistakes.

No Blues were injured during the filming of this clip. Perron eventually scored the team's second goal in what would be a 2-0 victory. If only there had been some way for the Sharks to boost their offensive output, like not have their leading scorer leave the game early following a boneheaded play of the bush-league variety.
