Joe is a national treasure. So happy I got his jersey for my bday last year. Now, just need to get it signed like my Vlasic & Erik Karlsson
Should have been a Bruin for life. Would have loved to see him win a title with us. What a career.
I just gotta say, Jumbo is the biggest “beauty” he truly loves the game and seeing him at Marleau’s retirement, his tears for his boy is genuine l! What a legend!
Just Talkin to the dude you wouldn’t think he would just beat you till your legs don’t work lol such a good dude and warm-hearted to be able to just flip a switch and turn into a killer
What an absolute beauty and a true class act. Boston will always love you, Jumbo! Thanks for all the memories!
Joe is a super guy...great player (and a great fighter too). Boston were foolish to have traded him away.
How he trade him away from Boston
Miss you Joe 😢#SharksForLife 🦈🦈🦈🦈🏒🥅
Icon!Hockey nice guy.
Anyone here after he signed with the leafs!
@Ego Debt let’s gooo
The first game I ever watched live, Joe had a Howe hat trick for the Bruins.
Huge fan of Jumbo’s.
Can you remember who he fought?
No, unfortunately. It was literally the first nhl game I ever saw on TV. I’m pretty sure Jumbo was only 19 or 20 at the time.
I was heartbroken when the Bruins traded Joe.
Big Finnish Shark fan here, GO GET THE CUP JUMBO!!!!
Please help us Joe
Bring him back
Jumbo Joe comes back to the Bruins at the trade deadline and hoists a Cup in Boston.
That did not transpire
god no we already have oldass chara
Sharks fan here but nothing would have made me happier. Well, maybe 2016...
Now a leaf

Joe id actually my cousin on my dads side
Same but moms side
U should hit him up for money
I remember hearing that, after the Thornton trade, Raycroft was a cancer in the Bruin dressing room; thus the trade to the Leafs.
Raycroft wasn't a cancer. Rask was a better prospect than Raycroft was worth keeping. Great trade
Sucks he got traded
I liked Joe but Samsonov was playing a year sooner. Sammy played like a veteran, while Joe needed a year for more development. Bull shit, there was alot of pressure Joe. Boston took a big gamble on Joe. Boston payed a lot of money. (first round pick) He lacked defensive play. Boston knew he wasn’t a good fit for Boston. They gave him time. Didn’t live up to the expectations while in Boston. Also: Over time organizations realized he didn’t play very well in playoffs. Total career: 32 goals, 102 assists and a plus-minus of -36 in 187 games . He was a good player and had his moments but couldn’t sustain anything consistently. I think his best run was in San Jose when he had very good teammates. Good chemistry. 05-06 was his best season. Leader in points. I was shocked he made it this fare in his career. Go Boston!
No Show Joe!
He should retire already why Toronto Leafs would trade for him is nuts.
No show Joe OVER RATED
