Just in retrospect that he didn't injure or attempt to injure anybody.

You have guys that head hunt and take liberties and try to injure and they get less.

Sure it's automatic, doesn't mean its fair in some peoples eyes.

I think he was stupid to leave the bench and he's going to sit 10

I don't think somebody saying it's unfair is dumb...if you look at it that way

- Garnie


Fair or unfair means it was the NHL's decision to suspend him that long but it is a rule that no matter what the circumstances are that the player get 10 games so yes it is a dumb thing to say.

And the NHL will show a video of Clarkson clearly "engaged in an altercation"

This appeal is ridiculous. Clarkson doesn't have a leg to stand on.

BULLPOOP ....


They are arguing that it was simply a bad line change

ask Bissonnette

Carlyle is a fcuking idiot. He put Kessel out there to antagonize the sabres in a "what are you going to do?!? I dare you!" manner.

Well, this is what happens.

Who cares about the suspension. What would Leafs think if Kessel had engaged Scott and was now concussed.

Again, I say, Carlyle is a fcuking idiot.

LOL, some of these Toronto fans are ignorant. Kessel was swinging his stick all over the place. And trust me, form a neutral fan, he was spearing.
- blk4x499


I am biased. You could say very biased against Phil the Thrill. That was A-Rod level purse swinging. Also yes that was a spear and he should be beaten for it.

Conversely Bernier (frank)ed Miller up which was awesome to watch again and again aaaand again!

The 1st slash was more in self-defense I believe...but hey I only watched it a few times...so maybe I missed something.

- Garnie


So the Make-Me-Laff fans think to slash is a proper form of self defense? Manning up and dropping gloves is the reaction Kessel SHOULD have had.

(frank), funny - 2 wacks...no spear.

Talk about ignorant, you could probably youtube it and watch it for the 1st time

I agree he will probably get suspended for slashing Scott when he was down.

Watch it again. He picked his stick up off the ice and went at him again. It might not have been very hard but it was a spear.

Just wow.........

Apparently Make-Me-Laffs fans do not know how to read.

There was NO MOVE. YOUR coach is the one who made the stupid move by putting his BEST player out against a goon. DEFEND THAT!!!!!

Kessel would jersey you, right after he beat your dad to get to you in the basement!!!


- Garnie

Jersey me? Is that some term of endearment? Like personally giving me his game jersey? And right after beating my dad in a fingernail painting contest? How nice of him

Summary of hockey buzz over last 2 days:

Sabres fans: Yeah, Scott probably shouldn't have gone after him but Kessel's antics were dangeous and suspendable.

Leafs fans: Kessel did nothing wrong. Scott and Rolston should be suspended indefinitely. Garth is a joke... Something about the code... Orr, McLaren, blah blah blah

Other fans: Everybody shut your faces already, k thanks

Still waiting for a Make-Me-Laffs fan to defend their coach for putting Kessel is a dangerous situation.
