Nifty and Gord!

[Don Cherry*]

Our very own "hubofhockey" was just on the pregame and Nifty stood up for Joe and then Gord Kluzak did as well. Gord even said that Joe should take the article and throw it in the trash! Gord called the article inappropriate.

Let's face it, the fact that Joe has been on the ice at all shows that he's a true captain and that's what leadership is all about.

Joe hasn't whined about his injury, he's simply played through it and made no excuses. There's been no whining from Joe. Too bad the same can't be said for the media who want to cut the guy down when he's clearly playing hurt. Who cares if he didn't want to be hounded for a day?

Go Nifty, Go Gord and GO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited due to severe spelling mistake.

It was absolutely the greatest thing to watch such great guys and players as Nifty and Gordy standing up and supporting Joe!

@ Nifty & Gordy & JOE !!

PS: Kevin's article has bothered me all day, i was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and think he was just doing it to get Joe going, after seeing him on NESN, he clearly was whining about Joe not talking to him,.. i will respectfully not say what i really think of Kevin (he is a member of our board and except for this one i love his articles and like his insight in the game),...but i am not happy with Kev.

good for them. i hope joe has a monster night.

Why not go to Thornton and tell him face to face that you have a problem with him rather than bite him in the back at the worst possible time? It's clearly a sour grapes thing because Joe didn't feel like wasting his time with the media for a day.

Joe has had a HUGE first period. Go Captain Joe!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is pretty obvious that this piece has blown up in KPD's face. I can only say: GOOD.

I am sure he will get some of the WEEI "media brotherhood" to agree with him so he gets to save a little face.

Glad Nifty and Gord thought it was as ill timed and inapropriate as we all did.

I have a feeling we won't see Kevin around here anytime soon.

KPD should be ashamed of himself for putting a personal issue in the paper w/ Thornton...if Joe doesn't want to talk to KPD....I don't think it bothers any readers of his paper....screw!!!
