Big Joe, our beloved Captain

[crunchyblack*]

Totally got all the media vultures of Hertl's back in regards to him "hotdogging"

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-p...lebration-probably-better-195736956--nhl.html

Good thing he didn't say he would do it after 4 assists or we'd actually be in trouble.

That's JUMBO Joe.

 

[SactoShark]

Heh... hotdogging. heh. heh.

 

[SignThornton]

Loved it haha!!!

 

[Clarkington III]

A buddy sent this to me earlier and I could not stop laughing at my desk. Love the attention Hertl is getting and I love that his line mates and Captain have his back.

 

[Lazyking]

People are so sensitive. Classic Joe.

 

[nix at home]

This is just awesome. That's our captain! Haha.

 

[Jimmy the Fish]

Good for Joe to say what he did, even if it was supposed to be off the record.

God forbid pro athletes say something entertaining instead of trotting out the same old tired cliches about "taking it one game at a time" or "I just want to win".

Jumbo is my homey forever.

Don't do it Joe!

It's 2 mins for "holding the stick"

 

[Bowie22]

What did Joe say?

What did Joe say?

Google "Joe Thornton"

You will find it quite easily.

Edit: WTFetus added a safer link to the OP. Thanks, dude

Thornton = Hero. Massive loss of respect for Botchford.

 

[CanadienShark]

Just love it, what a guy.

Where is the line drawn on this? Pretty much every sports article with a comments section has NSFW language.

Doesn't matter. The line is clear: NSFW language/content = NO.

WTF posted a safer link that has passed muster.

 

[Fandlauer]

This might just be the best response ever. 100% pure awesome. Props to Big Joe.

 

[Alwalys]

He HAS to have a celebration ready for the off chance ... he can maybe ride his stick, lol

 

[Alwalys]

If I'm the other team and Joe has already passed 3 goals into the net, I'm letting that 4th one in on purpose!

 

[corbanSOG]

For the rest of Joe's career, someone must bring a stuffed rooster to every game to throw on the ice just in case he scores 4.

Please let this become a thing.

Apparently Burns said this when Joe was asked about Hertl's celebration yesterday:

A similar incident occurred 24 hours earlier in San Jose when Thornton was the one being asked about criticism of Hertl's goal and linemate Brent Burns jumped in.

"Four goals! He's a 19-year-old kid," Burns said, adding a cheerful expletive or two. "I'd be naked."

How great would it be if the Sharks' players just kept one-upping each other. Every time someone asks a player about Hertl's celebration, another player jumps in with increasingly vulgar and graphic quips about what they would do if they scored 4 goals.

Edit: sorry, I thought blanking words out and leaving things to the imagination would be sufficient. I didn't mean to try to bend the rules.

This needs to happen. 4 goals is now an Aristocrats Trick.

 

[FSS]

JJ after 4 goals

 

[ChubbChubby]

Seems like the general consensus is that it was a joke and shouldn't have been reported. TSN has a video on their site of the panel talking with Botchford and no one seemed to agree with him. Mike Johnson especially looked unhappy about it.
