24 Apr 2009 14:08:35 PDT

Written by Andy Bensch
No. 1: Christmas 2005, I got a Joe Thornton Jersey. Let's begin with why Joe Thornton should no longer be a San Jose Shark. Despite that, I have come to the conclusion that Nabokov is not the goaltender to lead the Sharks to their first ever Stanley Cup.
