    Will Joe Thornton have a Jaromir Jagr-style number retirement party?

    If Jos Thornton wants to take part in practice or be on the ice for pregame warmups next season before he has his number retired by the San Jose Sharks, that would be just fine with coach David Quinn. Jaromir Jagr had his number officially retired by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, as his '68' was raised to the rafters at PPG Paints Arena. The forward, who turned 52 last week, also skated briefly in a Penguins practice the day before and took part in the team's pregame warmups just before its game with the Los Angeles Kings.
