well it takes two to make a story. Feschuk might be a dbag but Kessel could easily diffuse these situations by not being a dbag back. if Kessel keeps his cool, there's no story. and if he keeps his cool over and over, guess what? no more dbag questions.
- DoubleDown

Nope, sorry.

This was not a one-off incident - Feschuk has a long list of d-bag moves.

Kessel's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't here.

Either way, Feschuk was going to write a dbag story.

Bullpoop.... And as the extended clip shows, he wasn't just talking about himself, he was referring to this teammates.

How long can you keep your cool though? Feschuk constantly makes quips about Kessel's shape/size and other teammates too. Doesn't seem to be any respect and even when Kessel was always quiet they kept printing them.

Kessel should have paid the lip service but he didn't. Oh well. Next day Kessel asks Feschuk a question and he has no response other than trying to be defensive shift attention to others.
- Aaron_85

maybe he can pull a marchand lynch and just say "thanks guys" every single question any time.

that road is ahead if this keeps up.

He never played for them ever anywhere. He was still in college when they traded him. Anything saying that the ducks coaches said he was uncoachable is bogus.
- burn

Well, unless his NCAA coach is telling him so, they do keep in touch with the teams developing their prospects... It was just a report, the point is, that in itself doesn't mean he's not coachable, but that plus some body language, and mostly just the fact that he seems to have made no progress towards bettering his defensive play makes a person wonder if it could be true...

Fine, your Mom?

Seriously though I'm guilty of some reasonable weaving at times. From the weaver's perspective the issue is asshats that forget that it's a HTA offense to drive in a passing lane without passing. Stop being so selfish and move over !! And passing that car 50 yards ahead that's going 5 km/h slower than you in the curb lane doesn't count as "making a pass" ....move over!!

It's an Ontario thing.

I drive to Boston every once in a while, and I can't believe how easy it is to drive on the I-90. Everyone in the right lane, except to pass.

No, I'm not kidding.

And then you drive over the border back into Ontario and POOF! - everyone's hugging the left guardrail - at whatever speed they want.

Nope, sorry.

He should have Jim Everett'ed him. Feschuk is trying to be Jim Rome.

I do wonder if they have to say that to the public though. Like some guys MUST think Feschuk is a dink and think Kessel was right so I wonder if they HAVE to to make a "united front".

I think Kessel was fine with what he said. Especially the comments after. As I said earlier, the media somehow think they are untouchable and can say whatever they want about the athletes. Yet without them they'd have no living.
- Aaron_85

I assume each could have gotten away with not filing an opinion on whether Feschuk or Kessel were right. Both were wrong - Feschuk knew he was antagonizing and Kessel should have known he was antagonizing and not fed the troll. A couple months as a HBuzz poster would give Kessel a crash course in how to handle trolls.

What report? If ducks coaches are saying he uncoachable (when they've never once coached the kid) how can it be credible?

I found that as well through much of the states, no a holes siting in the fast lane, and most people were cool to let me in as soon as I signalled...

Scared of merges and right hand lanes leading to off ramps.

every line should try to have a playmaker, a sniper and a banger.
hop this works out.

Yup, ignore the rest of the post where i clearly state the main reason for thinking he's underachieving is because of his on ice play.. Gards is amazing, RC was the sole reason the team has been bad...

Same experience ...They patrol it in the US and hand out tickets. Here we build more lanes so that drivers can plug up the middle lane(s) and make the costly new extra lanes useless. Seriously you asshats the middle lane isn't your god given right.

Move Over!!

More Kadri!!
