Kesler ain't that bad of a fighter. He can usually last until the refs break it up but he has no idea about his opponents.

I remember when he picked a fight with Iginla once. Kesler held on but you could tell he was overmatched.

After the game, a reporter asked Kesler what he was thinking and Kesler said "who knew he could fight..." Referring to Iginla. WTF?

Even though Domi ain't imposing wouldn't you think he was taught a few things by his dad? I don’t think Kesler is that smart.

I think we need to sort out what "good defensively" means in a forward.

For some (most?), a player needs to pass the "eye test": they want to see that guy skating back hard and backchecking after they lose the puck.

For others (myself included), I think if a guy always has the puck and rarely loses it, then he's the better "defensive" player, despite the failed "eye test" on the backcheck.

it's about decision making when having the puck as well.
Not necessarily always bad to lose a puck - good if players dare to make some high-risk plays.
but on some plays you really can't give up the puck - you have to know when not to make a specific play.

Direct quote was "I didn't know he was a fighter, I guess he showed me."

The scrappy player that max domi is reminds me a lot of wendel clark. He's plays with passion which for him is one step up from being a committed hockey player. Love to see him in blue and white playing on Matthews left or with Marner. I WOULD trade Nylander and put kappenan Leivo and high draft pick to get OEL AND DONI

How awesome is it that Vancouver is far and away the worst team in the league. Compound that with no desirable prospects. It's like watching the Leafs of the last decade from the other side of the lens.

Any news if Sparks is getting probation or community service?

After it explained to me, he's getting what he deserves. Doesn't matter if he was talking to his boards version of TylerSeguin19.


Speaking of which, that little dude get his masters phd in Mathematics yet? It's been close to 2 years now.

Man I miss those days of him digging himself deeper and deeper into his fibs. You remember? I think it was August and he was just visiting his universities to pick where he'd go in September. Man it was awesome. He got accepted to Georgetown, but went back to high school to work on his math credit.

Haven't even seen him lately. Maybe he thought it best to make up a name, instead of use a real life hockey player...and their number....on your favourite team.
