Kesler says He hates Canada

[Smell My Finger]

"I hate them," said Ryan Kesler (http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/usa/ryan+kesler/1024103/), U.S. center and a player for the Vancouver Canucks (http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/van/).

http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Hockey-hate-fest-Canada-doesn-rsquo-t-mind-U-S-?urn=oly,221079

Before reading the article I just assumed this has to be Kesler who JMO is a complete jackass to begin with.
Well I can say this Canadian has always hated Kesler and anything Vancouver Canucks.

I wonder how Canuck fans feel about their class act Canuck?

[Joborule]

How about post the whole quote?

"I hate them," said Ryan Kesler (http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/usa/ryan+kesler/1024103/), U.S. center and a player for the Vancouver Canucks (http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/van/). "It's a big rivalry. I wouldn't say I hate them; you have respect for the other team. Canadians expect to win the gold, and anything less is not good enough. It's going to be fun to try and knock them off."
Of course he wants to knock em off. If US doesn't come with the mentally that they want to beat Canada so badly, they won't win. I bet the World Jr's felt the same as Kesler did. And look what it earned them...

[HotHotHeat]

"I hate them. . . . I wouldn't say I hate them"

Small insight into what NHL players deal with when trash talking Kesler during a game.

What a dumb hockey player. So glad he's a Canuck.

[Infamous1]

Later on he said he doesn't really hate them. But nice try.

That being said, I don't mind how he's just as patriotic for his country as we are for ours. Why can't other countries diss us as bad as we diss them? The US gets bashed 24/7 and it's fair game for an American to say it right back. We are the big bad wolf and they want to take us down. Bring it on Yankees.

[Devils'Advocate]

Jack Johnson said much the same thing.

Brodeur said "Hate is such a strong word. I don't hate anybody. This is hockey."

Are they just xenophobes that hate people from other countries?!?

[HPLovecraft]

Kesler is an idiot and I cannot wait until Canada destroys this American team.

That is all.

[Jesse834]

What a shocker coming from a dumb ass named Kesler.

[Smell My Finger]

How about post the whole quote?

I posted the link and his quote was part of the article.

[browna]

First, inflammatory title...he may or may not "hate" Team Canada hockey players as he competes against them. A far cry from hating Canada.

Secondly, Johnson's more guilty of "hate" (such as it is) with his previous comments and his actions in this case.

Lastly, those who can't go more than a week on this board without starting an anti-Canucks thread that ends up in the same circle of garbage getting tossed on both sides, should just take that rubbish out of the Olympic thread at least.

[flip]

I hate Kesler as much as the next guy but that really isn't offensive at all. He's just a typical arrogant American.

[shermanator]

The feeling is mutual!

[CMPunk]

Who cares...it's talk about the big game, trying to generate more interest in it. But the title is quite inflamitory...it's Team Canada he hates, not Canada

[Sainters7]

How does he say he hates Canada? He says he hates their hockey team, as I'm sure so does every other player on every other national team. Some Canadians are waaay too sensitive about what comes out of the mouths of Americans.

[Flabbibulin]

Whatever, Canadians have been saying for years and years that they hate America, Americans, American companies, American values, American hicks, American food, American bow ties, American night stands, and Ryan Seacrest.

The hate score for us is now 21,546,186 to 7. I'm sure we can handle it.

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Kesler also ragged on his teammates when the US won the world juniors. Big deal.

Hey Don't shoot the messenger.

[Sainters7]

Ya, I read it. It's about the players hatred of TEAM Canada hockey, not Canada itself.

Canada better pull this out and look good doing it, after watching the Swiss go to OT with Norway.

[jschick88]

I cant believe Kesler would say that. Color me shocked!!

[Devils'Advocate]

But why would you hate them? What did they ever do to them? I'm with Brodeur on this one.

[OILFAN #81]

I wonder if Kesler and Backes are talking?

Kesler: "Tell Kelly I said hello".

Same reason everyone hates the Yankees. We're the best. And Canadians don't mind telling you so. I can see it. There's soo much hype for Team Canada every year, and I'm sure other teams are beyond sick of hearing about how Canada's going to dominate. Personally I don't see what's so wrong with the comments, but maybe that's just me. I just wanna get this game started, finally the REAL Olympic hockey starts!

[Yamer]

Gotta say I am a little upset with the OP for the obvious bait and switch going on. It is obvious by reading the article that there is a healthy competitive spirit between these two in the game of hockey. As stated there is an emotional need for the US to beat Canada, and more of a situation of embarrassment that the Canadians want to avoid.

I wonder how out of proportion someone could blow a quote like "We are bigger than Jesus". I suppose if you printed it out of of context we could have had some history to talk about.

To be fair, Canadians have made it VERY clear they hate Jack Johnson. Just because it isn't communciated as directly as "I hate him" doesn't mean the message hasn't been clearly sent. So the feeling appears mutual.

Trash talking before a game? What a shocker.

The OP does a good Fox News impression.

[Mad Mel]

This thread says more about the OP than Kesler. Obvious troll is obvious.

[amorak]

This is being blown out of proportion:

Here's the actual transcript:


Ryan Kesler: "I wear woman's clothes and I hate Canada"

Reporter: "Ryan, you do know a Canadian team pays your salary, right?"

Ryan Kesler: " I wouldn't say I hate them"

I can tell you that Canada won yesterday. Crosby with 2 goals, Brodeur played really well. For the OP, that would be Party Marty, not King Richard.

It reminds me of watching women's curling with the girlfriend.


"Cheryl Bernard is a MILF! I mean, she's a really good curler.. I wouldn't say she is a MILF"

Seems like he said something and then realized he probably shouldn't have. I've been in that boat before, that's for sure. That said, I still think Kesler is a big ######.

Kesler is a joke. I hope Weber runs him over on the ice

[domingo]

Are they just xenophobes that hate people from other countries?!?

But Brodeur just became a naturalized U.S. citizen recently.

[Bobblehead]

Yzerman did it quite a while ago. Many Canadians who stay in the US do. The reasoning I've always heard is they they live there and pay their taxes, they want to be able to vote as well.

[Cactus Jack]

I think there is a double standard here. Some say as Canadians we're insecure or whatever because we take offence to a comment like that, although if you read further he probably spoke without thinking and lives in Vancouver. However, how big a story and how far would the mediocre US news outlets like CNN or FOX run with the story if a Canadian said it?

Pretty stupid comments for him to make considering he's playing in basically in his hometown.

[Winsor_Pilates]

I'm sure he said "I hate them" in a tongue and cheek way as evidenced by him quickly saying he doesn't actually hate them and has a healthy respect for them. If this was a TV interview and we could see the context in which he said it, I'm sure it would be obvious.
Anyone trying to make a story out of this beyond good rivalry must be really bored, including the Province.

Pretty much. Anyone actually thinking he's serious on the idea of hating Canada is looking at the quote wrongly and just fishing a reason to hate.

A rat with a rat comment.
Just in case there are some overly sensative.
Ken Linesman ex dirty Flyer and Oiler's play and comments earned him the nickname as "the Rat" Kesler reminds me of Linesmans dirty style.

I think that fact that Kelser's comments are being taken as a slam on our country is ridiculous

He was talking about how he felt about the players, not our country as a whole. There is a fine line between patriotism and ignorance. Saying Kelser hates Canada because he is not a fan of the players on our team considering the circumstances is pretty ridiculous.

Team USA is to Team Canada what The Canucks are to The Flames. The Fans of the Calgary flames hate Canucks fans and vise versa. Does this mean a poster like "Canuck Hater" hates Canadians? Not at all. Thinking otherwise is pretty ignorant imo

no i would assume Canuck Hater hates Canucks as in Vancouver Canucks. But
As for that slimey Kesler he has made other comments back leading into the Canada Jr world tournement about Canadian players that are of the same contempt.
Kesler is being Kesler. Just like Burrows, Rutuu, Cooke and Avery. Knobs.

Not so very long ago, the US roster was mocked, because supposedly only Miller, Parise, Kane and Stasny would've been good enough to make Team Canada.

Now, some are reduced to this?

He doesn't seem like he's cut out for the championship level in hockey.

Okay that's fair. I just see it as an American playing a sport that Canadians have claimed as their own forever now and him having to hear over and over how the US players aren't as good because of where they are born. We Canadians do have an arrogance when it comes to hockey.

[MikeMc]

Exactly. Kesler talks a lot but he backs most of it up. He was probably the best American tonight.

Burrows (a Canadian) is a MUCH bigger rat than Kesler.

I'll take Kesler on my team for a playoff run, any day.

Kesler is a complete and utter ######, that being said he is a excellent hockey player and put his money where his mouth was this whole tournament and played very well today.

It annoys me to no end that we have to face him 6 times a year, not just because he's a self absorbed prick, but because he's the type of player that helps a team win championships.

So yes, while I think he's a POS personally with about as much tact as a 5 year old playing battleship for the first time, I actually have a lot of respect for him as a talented hockey player who definately makes the Canucks a more worthy opponent for our glorious Flames. Just my take anyways, and by that I mean if we had him under contract for the same price Vancouver does I'd be a very happy man.

[Shin Pad]

I don't like Kesler...never have. I also don't see him being that great of a player. He's a guy that plays really hard, and he's above average as a player, but he is far from being a star in the NHL - everywhere that is, except Vancouver, where he's God.:rolleyes:

[I wanna be like Miikka]

I think Kesler is a very effective hockey player, but I don't think his comments were necessary and I was glad to see him and Patrick "I love to play Luongo" Kane getting silver and not gold. Both those guys went out of their way to say comments about Canada and it makes the win that much better.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

How even Canuck fans can even defend him after his stupid comments today I have no idea. Canadians will fold? What a little bugger.

Canuck fans are pretty split about him now. I think a lot of them are very pissed that he would "dare" speak ill of their "captain." I have to agree with them. If Canada and Finland had played, you would never hear Iggy say these things about Kipper.

[henriksedin33]

Kesler is a competitor.....I'm not a fan of his comments, but I LOVE that he hates to lose, even as part of an underdog team with low expectations going in.

LOL i think you've been watching a little too much Pierre McGuire. "Kessler is a competitor". Anyone playing any sport is a "competitor".

So he's a competitor, yet you don't like his comments, yet you love how he hates to lose. I think even Joe Thornton hates to lose.

I think this post can be filed under 'preposterous' :blink:

[Savvy27]

I've now heard Parise, Kane, Kesler and Ron Wilson all say that they believed they played well enough to win.

With Kesler saying that they "dominated" overtime... (by my count they got one shot) he just sounds like a delusional whiner. I'm glad he lost and I'm glad he cried.

Certainly they played a good game, but I thought Canada out-chanced them substantially, with their MVP keeping it close.

Yeah I don't know what Kesler is smoking by thinking that. His comments about hating Team Canada didn't bother me but I read that he was talking trash after he scored the tip in goal on Luongo and then to say what he said in the 2nd intermission.....Luongo isn't too happy with him.

Nothing really. He said that Luongo looked to be fighting the puck a bit so they just wanted to keep getting lots of shots to try and tie it up. It's a media manufactured controversy.

I was expecting worse. I think Loungo did enough to win the game, but I thought that he looked fairly uncertain on some of his saves. And he did bobble the puck on the tieing goal so Kesler wasn't wrong.

Yeah I don't know what Kesler is smoking by thinking that. His comments about hating Team Canada didn't bother me but I read that he was talking trash after he scored the tip in goal on Luongo and then to say what he said in the 2nd intermission.....Luongo isn't too happy with him. I hope they kiss and make up soon.


And here I am hoping that it causes that team to implode.

More like that little biat*h KESLER is talking again.
