At some point, Joe Thornton has to be thinking “I’m too old for this sh*t” when opponents try to fight him. But even at 38-years-old, Jumbo Joe can still hold his own, as evidenced by a fight last night with Toronto Maple Leafs forward, Nazem Kadri.
Jumbo may have been able to bring Kadri down to the ice and win the fight, he lost something else in return. In a moment of confusion or desperation, Kadri wound up with a fistful of Thornton’s infamous “lifestyle beard.”
