Again other fans twisiting facts. We said we WANT him to come home and be part of the team . We didn't said he WAS he was.In fact there was even rumours on the Canucks blogs that there was 0 chance .

Dude...I was the one that said Webs said himself that he wanted nothing to do with the Nucks. Heard it from his mouth over drinks in Calgary with him and Jarrett and a buddy of mine that Jarrett is also agent for.

Yet everyone kept insisting that he was coming to Van.

But since I'm not a Nuck fan, everyone gets all over me saying I'm trolling blah blah blah.

He's right. Kessel's line was brutal defensively. They were pinned in their zone far too often and showed an indifference to playing D.

Ya that makes him a moron. He got all wet because Gretzky called him. He'd have to be an absolute moron to sign in Edmonton so good riddance. He would have gotten similar ice time, better development, more money on next contract, more points, a chance at a cup and his family would be able to watch him play for their favorite team. Somewhere along the way he got bad advise and got cold feet because Van wouldn't guarantee him ice time.
- Boinker


You clearly are out to lunch. If you watched his press conference, the Oilers did not gaurantee him ice time either. He said himself that there was no discussion of it and he expected to have to EARN his time just like everyone else. Sounds like a moron to me???

Not a chance. Not one GM would take Kessel over Kesler that's absolutely preposterous.
- Boinker

LOL, how many surgeries has Kesler had now? Guy can't sustain the way he plays for much longer.

So Ballard would probably be a star on the Flyers then . I heard they had a few Dmen missing.
- VANTEL

Ballard was given the chance to play T4 minutes on the Canucks and failed, don't know why it would be any different anywhere else. You basically have to get the puck to the Sedins and that was too tough for him. He can't play D either.

If they are so Fricken good how come you didn't make the playoffs? You were not even close. You ended up bottom 5 .Yeah great first line they can put the puck in the net.

No... not one. Centers>Wingers Big>Small. Two nuts>One Nut. Not creepy>Creepy

I'll give Kessel a better shot. I'll give him that to make you happy. But there isn't another facet of his game that's better than Keslers and it's just as important to keep the puck out of the net than scoring. Kesler scored 41 goals by the way. When has Kessel done this?

I never said they were good. I said they were brutal defensively. How don't you see that?

Of course I wasn't close. I'm not on the team. I didn't end up bottom 5. The Leafs did.

Correct. Two have Stanley Cup banners hanging in their rinks.
