The San Jose Sharks have had great players in history, but none more than Joe Thornton.

The San Jose Sharks need some positivity right now, and what better way to get some from Joe Thornton?

Jumbo has been involved in some iconic moments with Team Teal, so here are his top five moments from his time in San Jose.

It was his first hat trick in eight years, and it came against the team that drafted him. The place went nuts to see an all-time great have an insane game.

Jumbo Joe would score his 400th career NHL goal with 6:42 left in the third period against the Preds. Not only was it exciting, but it gave the Sharks a lead late in the game.

3. Finds Patrick Marleau With an Insane Pass

Sharks fans knew that Jumbo's first instinct was to pass, but this pass was out of this world. 

Thornton had eyes in the back of his head, and nobody could believe he found Marleau with that good of a backhand pass.

2. MVP in 05-06

His MVP season in 2005-2006 was insane. Winning the Hart Trophy and Art Ross trophy the year the Sharks acquired him was a great way to introduce himself to fans. 

Thornton played 58 games for SJ and scored 92 points (20 goals, 72 assists). He had 125 points overall that season. 

1. GWG in OT vs. Kings in 2011

The Sharks defeated their division rivals in game six. This was the biggest goal for Joe Thornton's San Jose Sharks career. The iconic celebration where he slides on his back will never be forgotten.

Honorable Mention: Joe's Advertisements

From his iconic beard commercial with Brent Burns to being a lousy ventriloquist, Joe Thornton was quite the character.

Joe will be forever loved in San Jose, and his number should eventually be up in the SAP Center rafters.
