SJHN Daily: Thornton, Subban Star in Super Bowl Ad

San Jose Sharks legend Joe Thornton was featured in a Super Bowl advertisement last night.

Well, at least one that debuted on Super Bowl broadcasts in Canada.

Alongside former Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban, the two former stars helped Apple with their latest iPhone 14 commercial.

The ad is showcasing the iPhone 14’s purported long-lasting battery life. But more important than that, hockey fans must’ve been pleased to see that Jumbo still has his glorious beard.

Hopefully by now, P.K. has found his tooth!

AT SAN JOSE HOCKEY NOW…

In what could be considered their best 60-minute game this season, the San Jose Sharks beat the Washington Capitals 4-1.

Erik Karlsson trade rumors are front and center: Could the Oilers want the Sharks to retain 40% of EK65’s contract?

Timo Meier is no stranger to being connected to the New Jersey Devils. What could a potential deal be with New Jersey?

The Locked on Sharks Podcast discusses Tomas Hertl finally ending his scoring slump and EK65’s continued dominance.

Would a reunion make sense for the Penguins and someone who may actually fit in to Ron Hextall's budget at the deadline?
