Joe Thornton (nsr)

Has been traded!? Am I completely out of it or did this catch everyone by surprise?

Damn.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and no one is ever safe of course),
d.

whuuuut? seriously? I have watched maybe 4 B's games this year so I'm not exactly up to date, but Joe getting traded seems wacky and wrong.


quick side note: I met Hal Gil in the north end last summer, dude is super cool, we talked about fishing.



HOLY CRAP IT'S TRUE!!!! http://bruins.bostonherald.com/bruin...ticleid=114978

Joe goes to San Jose for defenseman Brad Stuart, winger Marco Sturm and center Wayne Primeau.

The owner (wherever the F he is) need to be traded.. Harry needs to retire to Florida. O'Connell needs to go sell cars. Bring back Don Cherry - Owner, GM, coach

I can't believe they traded Jumbo Joe. Captain, franchise player...for a quick fix to try to turn the Bruins around this year. I just don't get it. They just signed him to a 3 year, 20 million dollar deal. When the news last night said big sports trade in Boston, I figured it had to be Manny.

Bruins management just had a major brain cramp, I think.... this makes no sense AT ALL from the B's point of view.

But at least us west coast'ers get to see him once in a while now.

Fuckin' fuck.

This is why I hate the NHL. First the take away my Whale, now this. At least Joe gets to play with his cousin now. :nonono2:

I fucking hate Jeremy Jacobs... What the fuck.

Terrible trade.

:(

This is exactly why I like the Flyers (the only non-new england team i root for) instead of the bruins.

Umm.. After losing 9 of their last 10 games, the B's are beating the best team in hockey(Ottawa) midway thru the 3rd period, 3-0. One of the new guys from the trade, Marco Sturm scored 1:17 into the game. Maybe shakeups are good.:cool:

EDIT: make that a final score. Entire place was on it's feet screaming for the last 2 minutes like it was for the Stanley Cup. After bashing MGMT all day. What a weird sports town.
