Hey, have you ever wanted to see Brent Burns and Joe Thornton essentially line up against each other naked?
Well, ESPN the Magazine interrupted your answer either way, going ahead and doing it for their vaunted Body Issue.
Considering Thornton’s UFA status, there’s at least an outside chance that this will be their final action together as members of the San Jose Sharks.
This is your last chance not to scroll and see Thornton, Burns, beards, tattoos, and not a whole lot else.

Did anyone else think about Thornton’s line after Tomas Hertl scored four goals? No? OK.
The real highlight might be Burns and Thornton giggling in robes, honestly.
"I think I have good abs underneath. You just can't see them."
