Wow!! Like wow! It's like a demon got into kessel today .. Not like him at all! But, I love it!! I don't care what anyone says! That was awesome!! Told the media on live television where to go and how to get there... I guarantee kessel will score tonight! I bet this team plays better from here on out.. It's what needed to happen a long time Ago... Unfourtunetly..... It's horrible timing !!! FAaaakkkk

Not only will they possibly catch a spark from this... It also means that kessel is definitely not happy in toronto anymore.. He's fed up... And the only possitive thing is that his trade value will go up. Really sad actually .. We lost the top 3 scorer in the league in the past 5 years. Wonder how he will be in a different atmosphere.

That would imply that the quality of his experience in Toronto is dictated by the media. I don't think players typically try to get out of a team because of that. Usually its a player to player, player to management or personal family reasons.

Larry Murphy.

Bryan McCabe.

guys, remember when Burke sued the internet?

This is no different.

libel.

If the system was set up to mirror tweets with a certain hashtag, and he knew that, and made that tweet with that hashtag, then yea.

I would be shocked if there's not a filter of some kind. You have to think that there's a lot worse floating out in the twitter verse. Someone either missed it or decided that the llamas just weren't doing enough to keep the show going.

Also heard that Chad Johnson being asked coming in to Buffalo to help with the tank.

Maybe Phaneuf and Lupul just want out and figure that sueing their parent company is a good way to do that.

"banging" probably isn't on a filter wordlist.

Actually meant a human filter. Like the human eraser in your user name.

So? It's still an unverifiable accusation. Doesn't matter if you mean it or not.

Pretty damn hard to sue for libel in an instant like this. Are facebook and twitter posts subject to the same rules as published articles in magazines?

- BINGO!

If they can prove that he was trying to get his post up on tsn, then yes.

And even if they can't, if he's got a sizeable following, I don't see why not.

Did I not say this morning they will go after the tweeter and TSN.

I think the twit might actually get the worst of this, while TSN might be able to get out scot-free.


I wonder if Button defending TSN earlier today after they issued an apology might have made it worse.

If this isn't the profile of a guy who deserves to get sued, I don't know what is.

What a douche

send the boys to columbus we will welcome them

I went to take a look at what his comments were and found this on his (Buttons) Twitter:

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 5h5 hours ago
Dubas says on @TSN1050Radio that the Leafs players are very upset over the tweet that appeared on TV yesterday. Understandably.

Craig Button ‏@CraigJButton 2h2 hours ago
@mirtle @TSN1050Radio What's funny James, is that ignorant stuff ends up on Twitter all the time but where is outrage towards Twitter?

So basically what Button is saying is this: if someone writes something racist on a piece of paper, WHY aren't we questioning the paper companies!??!

It's actually an interesting legal question, which is popping up again and again.

Uber claims they aren't a taxi company, so they have no responsibility.

What is Twitter? Is it a media company like the Star? Or is it like a phone company, where they have no control over what gets said?
