Why is Jonas Siegel whining about Kessel not talking to him?
- RogerRoeper

He's not going to protect him anymore.


What a (frank)ing baby. Came off sad and pathetic.

Hitchcock's defensive system which limited shots sees all his goalies have career stats.

Can someone explain how a 30yr old goalie with 151 games played and 60w 59L 11sol Is an upgrade on a 26yr old goalie with 148games played and 69w and 51L and 11sol.

And forgive me for being a poophead, but that 30 year old has MS.

Kessel gets poop on non-stop. Jonas is doing a crappy job "Protecting" him.

Yup. And a broken foot, and hasn't played in months.

Him whining on the radio this morning..... He should be embarrassed about that display.

11 of them in fact.

who cares. We have the next Roy in Bibeau

Because the likelihood of scoring also increases and the difference between 2 goals on 30 and 3 goals on thirty shots drops the save% 933 to 900% that's a pretty significant drop for one goal.

While true, the game to game difference is dramatic but over a season it tells a better story.

It's not the coach!!!

From Sportsnet:

Add that Harding hasn’t played an NHL game in 11 months and that his setbacks due to multiple sclerosis make him doubtful to play big minutes consistently, and it’s possible he clears waivers Tuesday.

Thanks for your continued helpful hints on what the Leafs should do. Picking up a 30 year old goalie with MS who hasn't played in a year and would have a cap hit of about a milly while playing in the minors is just the kind of advice you are famous for.

Hard road that.

Not when your teaming is giving up almost 40 shots, to put up numbers like Bernier and Reimer have you have to be dam good.

Why is Jonas Siegel whining about Kessel not talking to him?
- RogerRoeper

Because he is a whining whiner who likes to whine? Just guessing.

Why is Jonas Siegel whining about Kessel not talking to him?

Because he's tired of covering for him. Kessel has a job and it's to talk to the media. He's paid 8 million NOT to put up points on the ice but to talk to the frickin' media.

Siegel is whining and making himself feel more important. That somehow he was covering for Kessel in the eyes of the fans. Nobody really cares if he is rude or to the point with the media if he puts up 40 goals this season.

Well it looks like Harding's point is moot. Edmonton, Dallas, New Jersey and Columbus will take him. (according to Sportsnet and Edmonton Journal)

I heard it this morning too. The guys in the media somehow think they are important to Kessel or the organization. Like he's valued by anyone but himself.

Schneider has played every game this year so... They are looking for a backup

No since they are on the Leafs they are automatically bad

So are all stats too relative?

this is the dumbest part - It's been nothing but obvious to anyone who pays even the slightest attention that Kessel hates talking to the media, and declines to talk to them most of the time.

we know this. The media knows this.

And on this game Jonas had put in the request and Kessel refused. He then waited for Kessel in the hall way and approached him on his way out. WTF did he think was going to happen?

idiot.

I'm tired of guys like you sticking up for Kessel.

After Saturday night's game, I wanted to know if Kessel was going to put the loss behind him and just move on to the next game. I wondered if he was just going to focus on doing the little things right and playing his game. I needed to know if Kessel thought that the Leafs had enough talent to compete with every team in the league, and that they just need to bring it every time.

Now we will never know.
