@JoeSmithNHL @RussoHockey Excellent write up here. Thank you both.
@JoeSmithNHL @TheAthletic Thank you for your honest and interesting content, your hard work, and dedication. Looking forward to much more of your writing in the years to come. Congrats on entering Dad Mode!
With the Wild done, and the #GoBolts facing little brother, the perfect scenario for @JoeSmithNHL and @RussoHockey has come to fruition in Florida
@JoeSmithNHL @TheAthletic Outstanding work all season Joe! Wild fans are incredibly lucky to have both you and @RussoHockey covering the team. I would love to have you both on @LockedOnWild for an episode at some point this summer!
We in the State of Hockey are blessed to have great beat writers covering the Wild. @RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL @jessi_pierce thank you.
@RussoHockey Thanks for all the hard work you and @JoeSmithNHL have given us all year. Enjoy covering winning hockey teams for the playoffs and then some much needed rest.
@JoeSmithNHL @TheAthletic We appreciate your coverage this season, Joe!
SUCH a great read from @JoeSmithNHL on the Terriers this season. theathletic.com/5412953/2024/0…
Can’t thank you enough for the overwhelming outpouring of well wishes & kind words via text, DM & calls. I promised my fam a day off & I already broke it by recording a fun podcast w/@Sigi_JE & Radim Vrbata. Just know it meant a lot & I’ll be fine, professionally & personally.
This is excellent reporting - the people he got for interviews, the anecdotes he collected, the ground it covers. It's not easy to put together a piece of this quality.
