Biggest dummy last night.






Carlyle.

Kessel's been taking it for years: from the Charas of the world, the media relentlessly, his peers at the All-Star selection... He looks like a kid who's snapped from all the bullying at school; good for him I say.

Pretty much and Leafs had last change so no excuse.

When will we hear all the suspensions?
- iTOLDu

My guess is either later today or tomorrow. Possibly Wednesday.

Exactly.

Gretzky did the same thing.
Crosby did the same thing.


Basically what I'm saying is Kessel = Gretzky...and Crosby.

When did our goons ever go after elite players?
- Gunslinger

they don't have any elite players.

What happened last nite would never have happened in the regular season.

It occured for the simple reason that neither Orr or McClaren was dressed. If this was the regular season, soon as Scott came over the boards, Carlyle would have tapped either Orr or McClaren or both.

Preseason sucks. Simple as that.

...so he went for the next best thing... Kessel? and if one coach sends out his completely useless 4th line meathead to smash faces, and the opposing coach sends out 2 completely useless meatheads to smash faces, a brawl DOESN'T break out?

yeah.. he made the initial mistake 100%

think Kessel and Clarkson were just looking for a way out of playing Montreal next week.
- scotch_tape

They don't want to get set expectations too high... a hat-trick each would be hell to try and live up to.

Exactly.

Gretzky did the same thing.
Crosby did the same thing.

Only better!

Right?

am I right?

No?

Ok forget it.

I agree.
Its too bad Clarkson will be gone...but ya outside of agitating some people, he can be replaced for the short term.
- Fakepartofme

question: if Clarkson does get 10 games, do the remaining pre-season games (5 I think) count?... since the "infraction" leading to the suspension happened in the pre-season...

Holy drama people.

A) There's no reason for people to be saying they are embarrassed to be leaf fans based on what happened....quit being so dramatic
B) Clarkson deserves the 10 games he will get....it was simply foolish to leave the bench, but I get why he did it.
C) Kessel should be suspended for two handed Scott on the angles...you should never swing your stick like that at someone....3 pre season games max.
D) Kessel filling in Flynn was freakin great to watch.
E) A goalie fight...yes a goalie fight....that was great to see! Good job Bernier!
F) No sense trying to assume what Kessel did or didnt say...for now you cant prove anything and you just look foolish.

And most important of all.

G) What a great freakin episode of Breaking Bad last night! WOW!
- Fakepartofme

Didn't see Bad but fun hockey is back...

they read the rules yesterday on the radio... said it was the next 10 regular or post-season games... nothing about preseason.

he was still worked up, after punching out that other sabre. he was looking for a bigger target

Dressing Room:

WHAT THE HELL GUYS, I could have taken him on...I had to fight this random kid instead and then when I came back to fight him you guys woulnt let me at em!!

Kinda reminds me of this episode

question: if Clarkson does get 10 games, do the remaining pre-season games (5 I think) count?... since the "infraction" leading to the suspension happened in the pre-season...
- BorjeFan4Ever

nope, the suspension will start on game 1

they might say he's done for the preseason as well.. but that would be over and above the 10 games

- BorjeFan4Ever

no the suspension will be 10 regular season games you have to look at the coytes king game last week same thing happened it was 10 regular season games

back on Oct 25 vs Blue jackets.

...so he went for the next best thing... Kessel? and if one coach sends out his completely useless 4th line meathead to smash faces, and the opposing coach sends out 2 completely useless meatheads to smash faces, a brawl DOESN'T break out?
- scotch_tape

What are you trying to say?

They don't want to get set expectations too high... a hat-trick each would be hell to try and live up to.
- Feeling Glucky?

oh so we already know Price is playing?

- BorjeFan4Ever

no... leaving the bench penalty gets applied at the start of the season... so he could play the rest of pre-season.. it's a regular season suspension

nope, the suspension will start on game 1

they might say he's done for the preseason as well.. but that would be over and above the 10 games
- Dozzer

preseason games are not official NHL games although they are regulated by nhl rules the teams themselves arrange the preseason games which is why each team plays the same teams every preseason. teams are allowed to play the maximum of 7 preseason games

Wow what an exciting game! Scott is dumb, Kessel shouldn't given the extra swing after Scott was taken down though..lol. Bernier won me over last night! WOOO OLD TIME HOCKEY!

oh so we already know Price is playing?
- BlowMonkey

wow. that's quite a reach for something that isn't remotely funny.
