Joe Thornton scored a goal and two assists as the San Jose Sharks crushed the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-0. Thornton seemed to be motivated by a questionable hit by Jared Boll. It seems like Thornton's ceiling has lowered a bit since the Sharks offense became more diverse in 2010-11. He "only" had 70 points last season and has a relatively modest 41 in 48 games so far in 2011-12.
