My bad, too bad we have a player that has done something that only 1.2% of the players in the league have done the last 4 years, score 30 or more goals. Such a shame.

Shhh! Dont bring up the positives and the facts.
Thats the "past"!

Nevermind Kessel is getting points....dont worry about his past goaless streaks that have resulted in scoring 30 plus goals at the end of the season.
And dont mention his backchecking tonight.

Dont do it!

Kessel +3.

This is the moment when his detractors suddenly decide +/- is a useless stat.

I think it is a stat that really doesn't tell the whole story but all you need to do is watch the game to see he is back checking, that is undeniable.

And yet doesn't play like that consistently. Against the Bruins and the Hurricanes, he was nowhere to be found.

The point here isn't to say he can't get it done, it's to say he doesn't do it often enough.

- Two_For_Truth



He sure doesn't do it as often as Tlusty does.

Ah you should never forget the past......I believe it was 2011 when Kessel went 14 games without.....guess what.....he wasn't traded.
I believe he finished with 32 goals.
If kessel was scoring goals you'd be raving about how great he is.
Go be fickle somewhere else.

- Fakepartofme

But he's not.. I not too worry about this little argument because he will be traded soon.. May as well go set the crow trap bud, cuz your gonna be eating some!

With Phaneuf, no way, he changes the songs all the time. That's what makes him such a great leader.

I really can't complain with his game right now. He's doing everything he ought to be doing to have 4-5 goals by now. If he even had 2, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

If just two shots had been one inch lower/more to the left/more to the right, he'd have 2 G, 6 A, 8 P in 10 games and his PPG pace from last year would basically be on track and we'd all be thrilled he's back in form AND contributing defensively.

Isn't that absurd that such a small difference has such an effect on some people? Though, I'm sure I don't have to tell you. You see it every day.

It's the exact same circular arguments from him every night.

[insert player name] isn't good, he isn't consistent, [insert player name] on [insert team] is way better. If we didn't [insert trade], then we'd have [insert player name].

The reality is for this team to get better, it needs to get worse, which is why we need to trade [insert player name] for picks and prospects, and rebuild properly, through the draft.




That about right?

Is it too late to reverse the trade as per his request? I thought he had an inside connection with the league.

He could be up at 2ppg, play a perfect shut-down game, and some people would still be upset that we traded picks for him.
