Hockey stat of the week....

Joe Thornton is dead & burried in Boston. Written in today's Boston Globe by scribe Kevin Paul Dupont........ "Marc Savard has been a more than capable replacement for Jumbo Joe. He smoked home a one-timer in Toronto, ending a seven-game goal drought, but overall his numbers have been especially strong of late. He is 1-6--7 in his last five games, and 6-21--27 for the season. For those who can't let go of the past, ex-Bruins pivot Joe Thornton is 7-20--27, but he has played three more games (24 vs. 21). Jumbo Joe is also a minus-5, compared to Savard's plus-4"
