Hoffman on Sharks fans trolling him with banner: 'I thought it was kind of funny'



The first round matchup between the San Jose Sharks and the Vegas Golden Knights has made for one of the best battles in the opening round of the NHL playoffs, but there’s a chance we can see it come to an end on Thursday night with the Golden Knights leading the series 3-1.

One player who has gotten involved on the physical part of things and has been very vocal throughout the series is Joe Thornton, who missed Game 4 with a suspension. On Thursday, the 39-year-old returned to the lineup and the Sharks decided to turn to Thornton for inspiration for the design of their Game 5 rally towels, as they’re going with a rally for Jumbo theme.



The Sharks have come up with some creative rally towels over the years and this one is definitely up there as one of the cooler looking ones.



Hopefully the Sharks will get the job done on Thursday because we’re not ready for the series to end yet.
