I loved it.

I responded to your post in the CR.

saw that... and i replied.

as for kessel... anyone who kicks someone while they are down is a pathetic loser imo

- kaptaan

In retrospect maybe it's my new saying...

I thought it was (frank)ing brilliant. Especially after all the poop from Torts saying that Kessel's comments were "self-serving" only a week or so after his own comments on the anthem protests. Between those and Lombardi's "nucleus of caring" comments, I think that Kessel actually took it easy on them in retrospect.
- lumlums

torts is a douche too

you are responsible for your own actions and words.

imagine if a canadian player chirped team canada if they got eliminated... you guys would all be ready to crucify that player.

Kessel made an awesome tweet, you've been Dold...
- the_eye

he's a damn fool... cant wait til i see all the team USA guys looking to run him over this season... and he deserves it too.

oh dont go there with me... Kessel is a lord of douchebaggery for that tweet imo
- Dozzer

This is what i was saying. He needs to take a page from David Price and say to himself if you didn't like getting cut, play better. Even if it was dumb to cut him, sometimes it's best to not say any more than you have to, if that.

It was clear that it was directed at the USA teams management, and they deserved to be kicked.

he also burned the bridge that would get him on the olympic team

none of those guys will trust him anymore... they will always see him as a back stabber... kessel in a team USA jersey is now a thing of the past.... all he did with that tweet is piss off his peers and ruin his chances of ever playing for his country again... no coach will take him knowing what dynamic he will bring to the locker room now.

It’s just sports at the end of the day. So he pissed a few people off. Big deal?

And does everyone actually have to like each other? Sports are a lot more entertaining when there is an explicit dislike going on….

he mocked the team for losing... there is no excusing it.

he's done with the national program... (frank)ing tool burned so many bridges with that tweet... absolutely classless kicking someone who is down.... management or otherwise.

100% classless.

any old timer would cross check his head clear off his shoulders and take the suspension... fat (frank) is lucky this isnt the 70s

well... if you were the coach of the olympic team USA and knew that bringing kessel into the room with a bunch of guys he pissed off massively would create locker room issues do you pick him?

(frank) no you dont.

he may be king of twitter right now... but he only (frank)ed himself in the long run

hockey players are supposed to have class... kessel showed none

I think that its a little early to declare this, if he doesn't make it its because he's not good enough. It's remarkable that USA hockey thinks higher of Torts than Kessel, I think that'll all change now.

Only if it’s the same management.

Half the guys this time around won’t be there in 2 years if there is a management change.

Probably best if he’s not part of another gong show if it’s the same yahoos running the show.

Where is mocking the team?
It was management that didn't give him the oppurtuntity to be doing something other than sitting with his dog.

No one seems to care..

Fat shaming isn't anymore classy.

Whoa..

- Arctic_AARDVARK

no... its not... you are only siding with kessel cause as a canadian you have biased animosity toward teams USA

it was a douche move... plain and simple... canadians are just loving him for it cause it got a laugh...

a laugh at his peers expense.

doesnt get anymore douchie than that

he makes millions of dollars to stay in shape as an athlete.

i'll happily shame someone who shames his own peers... tit for tat

boom boom boom!

"oh what a funny joke"

the players will still be there

management is part of the team... so you mock management you mock the team

management was who picked this team... by making fun of management you are basically saying the team they picked was crap

how are the players gonna feel about that?

Mocking the team? Really? If this was Luongo or that other top notch athlete comedian Biznasty people would be making (frank)ing tshirts and loving it.

C'mon,all he was saying is that he should have bben doing something important, like playing for team USA.
But that idiot management team didn't pick me..
