As good as he is (and he's a great defensive two-way centre), I'd never want any part of that puke on a team I cheer for.

No one is more of a mouth piece / tough guy until someone his size steps up in the entire league.

Sure you wouldn't. Winning forgives all sins. Everyone turns a blind eye to when their players dive, I did it, you do it, everyone does it or justifies it. He is a great agitator and is great at getting calls. Does he dive, of course he does, it gets calls, players from all teams do it, whether it be McDavid, Gaudreau, Kesler or Crosby. No one stops being a fan of any of these teams because of the transgressions of the players.

Kesler would be welcomed onto the roster out of every single team in the league, like Ken Linsman, Esa Tikkanen, or Claude Lemieux.

Yup, kid has no IQ. Similar theme with Pulju. Great athletic tools, but not thinkers at all.

If I had the time and were so inclined, I would have a blast over at HF. I would respond to any Oil fan's complaining post with a quote of another Oil fan telling Flames fans to suck it up during round 1.... I hope someone does that

The whole sequence is only 2 or 3 seconds. And his stick was pinned by both Talbot and Nurse. AND he tries, and eventually succeeds, in freeing his stick.

Kesler is as dirty-evil as they come. And I hate him more than I have hated any player in my entire life. But he, Nurse, and Talbot were all just swimming there.

Of course Kelser was not going to try and get out of Talbot's way. But suggesting that he intentionally interfered with Talbot's pad is giving him a LOT of credit.

I wouldn't, and no, it doesn't.

I realize you have this attitude as a Canuck fan, excusing and even cheering for that shameful brand of hockey from '09 to 13.

But there are some players that are just too much.

I wouldn't have wanted any part of Alex Burrows when he was in his prime because he's a despicable human being, and I view Kesler in just about the same light.

Great hockey player (as I already conceded). But a coward, and a piece of trash.

It's easy for you to say that. You spent years believing in and cheering for those qualities. I'll say no thanks.

You must hate Tkachuk.

Last I checked he didn't mock child abuse or constantly dives like a floundering tumbleweed. So no, I don't.
