I'm a Kessel lover, should have kept him and traded the rest of the core.
Still would have finished last and could Mathews ever use a Kessel.

And his wad

Kessel should've just let everyone else say it for him, which they were doing. Take the high road. It's like he's saying oh, if I was there, things would've been different. But I don't think he'd be allowed to bring Crosby, Malkin and Letang with him....big talk from the guy. Thinking about the name on the back of his jersey instead of the flag on the front.

Anyway, if anybody is interested in joining a Yahoo hockey pool shoot me a PM. We can increase the number of teams/decrease the number or players per team if we get lots of interest.

I've done one before but I didn't really enjoy it.. I'm just sticking to the good old Sportsnet pool! 50 bills on the line!

Nah, the announcements for the team (both the initial 16 and the latter 7) were made prior to him disclosing surgery.

Moreover, he was also their best player in Sochi. I don't think anybody out-produced his 8 points in 6 games.
- lumlums

You think team USA wouldn't take Kessel over some of their scrubs if he was ready to play?
Surgery, even minor is booked at least a couple months prior, they knew he was a risk of not competing.

thats your one and only strike... don't be a kessel.

Wasn't a flag on the fronts. Maybe next time do some fact checking before making up lies to look cool for Dozzer

please

if i was on this team USA i wouldnt want that guy in my locker room... i would think of him as a cocky douche.... and it would disrupt locker room chemistry.

he shot himself in the foot. he's a moron.
- Dozzer

Nothin wrong with kessel tweet. He should have been involved.

I think he morons are the ones who built a terrible team and admitted to no being ready. If they don't want him back they are even bigger idiots than they are showing now.


Only loser crybabies complaining about it. Get over it.

Biggest losers are the ones whinin about it. Bigger burn from sledge hockey guy, but no one saying anything about that.

None of that me first poop matters if you win.

He should have been on the team, managements are (frank)ing idiots

the only way i could ever look cool is it was january 16th and i was outside in a speedo

and dont go thinking i am talking about temperature.

Dozzer...I disagree with you on the Kessel tweet story.

listen

kessel has a right to feel snubbed.. he was.

but instead of taking the high road.. maybe making the joke to some close friends privately for instance ... he put it out there... doesnt matter if he was right or wrong... putting it out there was just the wrong thing to do. it was in bad taste.

cliched as (frank) but two wrongs do not make a right.

Thanks for the warning. Getting tired so sense of humor might be a little off...

the players themselves expressed how that tweet was in bad taste... look at parise's comments about it for instance
- Dozzer

Just read some of the players comments. You're right, seems they don't like it, especially if it was against the team which some are not sure of yet.

I thought it was pretty funny if it was directed at the management and Torts....I don't like Torts. If it was towards the players, not so funny.

I will say the world is getting too soft and delicate which is weird considering every douche with a phone and Twitter can say pretty poopty stuff that virally gets to a lot of people.

All the poop we called each other as kids, that's like 3-5 in the penitentiary now a days.

It's like that three soldiers joke, where whatever, the yank brags about a bunch of tough poop, the brit does the same, and the canuck just sits there stirring the fire with his Richard. That's the gist of the joke. Kessel had an opportunity to sit there stirring the fire with his Richard while Torts, Burke etc got ripped apart. He better have a monster season now.

If you think of wrongs as negatives, which they are, then you can make them positive by multiplying them.

even math is against you...

this isnt about being politically correct. its about class.

a person with class keeps his mouth shut... its what gentlemen do.

why? cause beig a mouthy bastard only makes you the bad guy to your peers

for instance... i have not kept my mouth shut and now all of you think i am an bumhole.

well... continue to think i am an bumhole.
