@patEbeth hahahaha omg stfu you fucking leafs dick rider. kessel is as good as hes gunna right right now seguin is a fucking teenager. hes got way more potential then this one nut wonder fuck off u leafs fan you fags dont no shit about hockey.
@Gamer2145 hahaha you fat fkn troll, can you even skate? you're probably gonna say you played hockey as soon as you came out of your mama's womb. yeah that's right no one believes you so stfu and gtfo. oh now you trying to correct my spelling? HAHA
@foolsagency good try buddy but its not about how much hockey you play its about how much you watch/know it real game. and no im not gunna correct your spelling so you can stfu. you are prob a hockey player who thinks he knows everything about hockey but you really dont you fucking fag. and yuo prob play house so fuck off. oh and no you dont play rep so dont try and say you do.
its not really rebuilding when u sign a 2, 30 year olds but u are getting a good player but if u get seguin wheres he going to go u have savard krejci and bergeron as the top 3 centres so he can play 4 line duties wit barly any minutes
u r right man they r actualy winning games the whole team is playing better since Phaneuf came and kessel is lighting it up lately hopefully we can get out of the basement so boston doesnt get a top 5 pick
Kessel.. in a "fight"... was something i never thought i'd hear... he is a huge pussy... even when he was on the Bs, that was my one complaint about him...
this wasnt classified as a fight though, for the record
2)he hasnt missed alot of games, a real pussy would be that of marian gaborik, Sidney Crosby, or even Petr Forsburg, people whom only play 30 games a season are pussies, but it isnt fair to say if they play 80 games a season ... besides his job is to score, not fight, he should have left that to COlton Orr
Shut the hell up paintballr. Kessel wasn't brought here to fight or rough up other players. He was brought in to SCORE GOALS (something boston knows nothing of). He's almost got 30 goals on the season and even though we're almost last in the league he's still done his job.
Pretty sure that wasnt my point... and just because your job is to score goals, doesnt mean you shouldn't/can't play defensively or use some physical play...
and @steviewonder i agree that gaborik can be classified as a pussy, but I disagree with calling crosby one, he's gotten in a few real fights, and he's just seems like a gritty player.... i havent seen enough of forsberg to make a call on him...

@nashoba18 for starters carolina will get the first pick and edmonton will get the second pick boston will be lucky if they get the 7, 8, 9 and boston isnt so far in the playoffs they are in 5th but the difference is only 4 points and they will be out of the playoffs and the leafs are going to trade kaberle for a first round pick and when toronto clears up almost 20 millon on the cap this year they will get better forwards then we will c whos at the bottom of the standings buddy
True, he's an offensive elite at the blue line and is good with his hands if he wishes to move in. However, he's 32 and counting and his actual defense isn't that great.
@disantej yeah okay buddy. and how many points does kessel have this year? u guys still suck. and we'll get the 1st or 2nd pick. have fun at the bottom of the standings ya faggot
Too bad we've got 2, count them, 2 draft picks from the trade. Through Kessel's tenure in Boston, he's proven himself to be more of a check-magnet than a proficient goal scorer. Hope you're happy with an injury-prone player in Toronto.
1 injury is injury prone? humm, looks more like you dont know what your talking about... and Kessel has more points than everybody on Boston... not to mention hes playing with no "set-up man"
and now that were pulling out of the basement, id say the deal is shaping up quite nicely...
So first year 19 goals, second 36 (both with set-up man Mark Savard) and now a 27 and counting goal year, doing it on his own...
No, injury prone means NOT keeping your head up at open ice. As for him outscoring everyone on the Bruins: look at his +/-. He's a -8, while most of our top scorers (Sturm, Krejci, Bergeron, Rechi) are on the +. But that's not important to you, right? He can weave around players and woo the crowds, screwing the team in the process, right? Genius move comparing Rookie and 4th year seasons to disprove your point, btw.
Am I supposed to be impressed that you outscored a team plagued by injuries? Get some players that actually can play at both ends and then I might have a little respect for the Leafs. Thanks for rooting for Boston because God knows that Toronto will NEVER be a good club.
bahahahaha, i dont care... kessel playted 70 ish games, and the only player still on the leafs from september is kaberle...
I would say thats worse than i injuries... Am i supposed to be impressed that Boston's excuse is injuries and Toronto is playing wwith AHL players? and still beating boston in scorers...
70ish games with your top scorer. We had less than 50 games with our top scorer, Savard. You imported Phaneuf and still had a scoring deficit, including your hopeful prospect in Schenn. We had injuries plaguing many of our starting D, and we still held tough defensively. Meaning that we brought up some AHLers as well. If you're just arguing that you've a better offense, fine. It must be good enough to make up for your bad defense, right? Oh...wait.
Well, since u play the injury card I mise well as well... Jeff finger (39 games) out for season, mike komisarek (34 games) out for season... and 2 of the 6 d's we have now played 50 games or less this season...
So yeah id say our D sucked... just as u said about your forwards...
Good, I won't argue with your coming to realization. I don't care that my team's offense sucked due to injury, I admitted so. What I DO care about is the fact that my team won enough games to get a playoff berth. What's in question is whether the loss of O do to injuries is worse than a loss of D to injuries. Your team proved that it's the D that costs you games.
BTW, thanks for the 2nd overall Pick in the draft. The rest of you Toronto fans can put your fists in your mouths, trying to laugh off the fact that you traded away either Seguin or Hall.
No, I just found out that it was a 2nd overall pick today. Nice try, genius. Also, it's only of good courtesy to thank someone for giving you gold. Also, keep bitching about your "D" that you lost. Actually look at the stats, idiot. Jeff Finger hasn't been a + since his days in Colorado. Also, Komisarek was a -9 pre-injury, so it wasn't like he was keeping the puck out of the net. I don't see how you expect to win this argument when your team ISN'T EVEN IN THE PLAYOFFS.
wether they are +9 or -9.. they were supposed to be the ones to carry our team...
And now that the team is remade, B/c the team at the beginning of the season was far from a playoff contention team... they mature, they learn from eachother, and then they play good together... having the entire face of a franchise change is obvious they shouldnt make the playoffs, yet you refuse to open your eyes and look at the facts.. rather just poke fun at draft picks and playoff contention
Refuse to open my eyes? Do you realize how important a 1st round draft pick is? Get that picture yet? Now imagine giving up TWO of your 1st round draft picks, knowing very well that you're in the rebuilding process. This may not have been a big deal if you can make it into the playoffs and get a decent record. This IS a big deal when you finish 2nd to last in the league. Also, how does the trade of 2 1st round picks bode for a REBUILDING team? Make sense? Doesn't to me.
Also, you talk as if playoff contention isn't important? What in God's name does a hockey club play for if not a playoff berth and, ultimately, the Stanley Cup? You started your "rebuilding" phrase back when you foolishly gave up Sundin, don't be a fool. The team remade still consists of poor defense, save for Schenn and Phaneuf, an average offensive group that is as one-dimensional as you get, and is missing its next 2 1st round draft picks.
The Bruins began "rebuilding" back in 07, trading away Thornton and signing Chara and Savard. From there, they began to be playoff contenders once more. Do you know how we did it? NOT by trading for big-name stars in the O end and heavy hitters in the D end. With a new GM to make logical trades, and a new coach Claude Julien that stressed D over O, we began to win games. We also did not make stupid trades, especially concerning our 1st round picks. Take notes, Toronto fan.
hahah, and look where its gotten you... w/e, that isnt much of a rebuild... thats just trading players...
And like your GM said, he expected TO to be in the bottom, therefore the essel trade wouldnt effect your team... BUT trading a proven scorer for an up and coming one is smarts... Not many players can come into the NHL their first year after being drafted, yet alone come into the NHL and score...
Obviously you're not a GM. You'd absolutely run the team into the ground if you were.
Are you kidding me on the draft picks? We're not talking about a 5th, 6th, or 8th overall pick. IT'S 2ND OVERALL. You sound like an idiot. Also, a proven scorer and proven unaware at mid ice and a bad character. Have fun when he Lindros' his own career. Also, it wasn't much of a rebuild? What the hell do you think rebuilds are?
@BluesRaconteur What it comes down to is whether or not kessel is better than seguin. Because the leafs gaurenteed will make the playoffs this year, and even if they don't they're not finishing close to a decent draft pick for boston. So seriously it comes down to who is better... kessel or seguin.
First of all, when NO team in the NHL even has 20 games under their belt, NOTHING is guaranteed.
How do you know they're not going to finish with a poor record? You guys start off the season on a good note and that suddenly means you're going to finish as the #1 seed? Yeah, if all your key players stay healthy, right?
Anyways, Seguin is looking good for his rookie season. He's on pace to outscore Kessel's rookie season, so I'm fine with how our FIRST Toronto pick has gone.
@BluesRaconteur Before you get all defensive and aggressive, post another comment when the regular season is over. If the leafs do worse than the bruins I will humbly swallow my pride. If the leafs beat the bruins.... I will stick it up your cum covered ass
I love how you take concrete figures and facts as being defensive. Insecure of your team much? I can vouch that you'll make up some stupid excuse for your team's failure. It's in your nature.
Oh wait, I have an insult for you, too...you poop pants. See, I can act like a Leaf fan, too!
@BluesRaconteur nhl.com/ice/standings.htm?type=con#&navid=nav-stn-conf looks who's laughing now. Doesn't look like your making the playoffs this year and where are the leafs.... oh yea... their first.
Are you serious? We have 2 losses in a grand total of 6 games played. That somehow translates to us not making the playoffs? I knew that Leafs fans were delusional, but woah!
@BluesRaconteur It was so funny, I knew some people that were almost certain the Leafs were gonna win the cup this year. I didn't say anything, but I had to laugh when maybe two or three weeks later they had a good 9 or 10 game losing streak happening.
@BluesRaconteur Lol? Your just lucky that every team Boston played choked horribly. I guarantee the bruins will shit the bed next year . And just wait till chara and thomas are too old to carry your team.. Then you're really fuked. rofl
You're an idiot. If every team Boston played choked, that must mean that the Leafs choke YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
You talk about next year for the Bruins because that's all you can do. The fact is that we tore up the league this year and took home the Cup. Our goalie is taking home the Vezina and Chara is probably taking home the Norris.
ROFL at the Leafs not making the playoffs for 5 years straight. Thanks for the draft picks!
@BluesRaconteur Choke? The leafs haven't had a number one goaltender for the past five years, what do u expect?. And yes, the fact that Boston was able to win two games sevens with a bunch of shitty goals makes them lucky. Boston couldn't even beat the leafs at the end of the season. Toronto easily has a much brighter future than Boston, especially with someone like kessel.
A bunch of shitty goals? So the fact that we outclassed and outscored Price, Luongo and Roloson suggests that it was just a tendency to score shitty goals? Because those goalies always let in shitty goals, right?
The Leafs haven't had a solid defense corps in the past 5 years. They haven't had solid leadership since Sundin (maybe Kaberle...what team is he on?). They haven't forechecked to save their lives in the past 5 years.
@BluesRaconteur Toronto under Burke clearly stresses defense over offense... Beauchemin, Phaneuf, Schenn, Kaberle, Komisarek, etc. Probably would now be considered one of the best defensive corps in the league.
lmao this fuckin guy tells me good try trying to be smart,you just said if there werent canadians there would be other people...really?genius thanks for pointing that out,and noone was talking to you or about phil kessel,good try trying to make sense and be a you tube hero
lol, bruins are gonna get a lottery pick. kessel is not worth 2 first round picks. Burke is losing his edge or something. And if canadians werent on the bruins roster other people would be so that was a stupid comment. and dont say that the level of play would be worse because if there were no canadians then the other players would be better in comparison like ovie would really really wreck and it would be more exciting. but good try , trying to be smart " philkessel2"
ur all jealous that i make 5 million plus a year to play hockey...fuck boston,everyone knows hockey was born in canada,im so happy i burned boston..ALL HAIL ME BITCHES
your getting all horny because ur top hat of the USA hockey players are all coming to the states, they are all playing for teams in the usa, whether they were drafted, traded, picked up by free agency, whatever, brag all u want, but the majority of canadien born players arent helping out the teams in canada "retard"
killab?for a teams that suppose to make the playoffs (bruins) they sure are shitty at staying consistent...dont worry about the leafs; there not playoff bound....your bruins can lose one night to the crappy habs that bad aswell
last time i checked the bruins were leading their division. which as far as i kno gets you a playoff spot. but why we talkin playoffs in fuckin december? ur all on kessels dick but jus watch what happens when his hot streak ends. u wont be as fond of him then. when hes cold he causes turn overs evertime he gets the puck just watch
die hard bruins fan, was a big kessel fan based solely on his talent on the ice which nobody can deny. i truly believe boston got the better end of the deal, but the Leafs can only be happy for what they got. this kid is 22 years old, already a proven sniper/dangler/goal scorer, he just knows how to score. he's lightning fast. i'll admit i was bitter at first when boston let him get away, but i can only wish the best for him in toronto.
I agree...i doubt those two first round draft picks would have worked out for us. The leafs suck at training their rookies. Hopefully they're not 1st or 2nd overall! But Kessel is doing good, hopefully Kadri and him have good chemistry
oh yes. kessels such a great player. till he cools off. then torontos gonna wish they had those three picks back. Id take Taylor Hall over Kessel any day. Not saying were definetly going to get him, but i hope so. Hes nowhere near worth what he was asking the bruins for.
ya u all in toronto love kessel now cuz hes on fire. wait till he goes ona cold streak. kessel isnt a reliable goal scorer i kno iv been watchin him for a couple years. when hes hot hes hot but when he cools off he does nothing. just watch all u leafs fans. we'l see what happens tonight in the garden
haha wow kessel haters fuck off, hes not even a fighter , he's a goal scorer thats why he has 10 goals in 15 games, if you dont like kessel there is something wrong with you, i give him props for sticking up for himself and not makeing one of his teammates do it for him like most superstars would, Kessel your the man, GO LEAFS!
haha kessel is the man for not making his teammates stand up for him... Isn't that his first career fight? I seem to remember chara, lucic, and thornoton handling ALL of his dirty work. but what ever you say
Come on! Anyone who says they hate Kessel while he is on their team is full of shit. The guy is a machine, anyone would love to have him. Sounds like sour grapes, sucks to be a Bruin fan!!! Hahahahahahahaha!! Go Leafs GO!!!!
im sorry xXFKxAustinXx i thought u said that kessel won. o shit u did. wow i remember the first time i saw a hockey fight. fuck kessel and the leafs. u all may think im hatin on kessel cuz he left the bruins (which is my team) but i never liked him to begin with
I guess Kessel only likes to punch when his gloves are on, cuz when they came off he just held on for dear life- against KRIS RUSSELL!!! LOL! Russell's never been in a fight in his life! Give Kris the edge for actually chucking a few and bloodying Phyllis.
Haha. I can't say I expected much before watching this, but it's even worse than I thought. Kessel just clutched onto his jersey and cowered a lot. Compared to Bergeron's first fight (while coming back from his concussion no less), this is just a joke.
Gotta love how Kessel doesn't fight but goes after Russell for the crosschecks into his back, shoving him from behind. Even though it was a pretty bad fight.
Idiot leafs fan kessel didn't throw 1 punch and he lost. P.s enjoy golfing for the seventh year in a row

Harsh words by alot of people...
I don't, for the life of me understand why Kessel dosn't take a hit, its one of the main functions in hockey growing up...
Although I do know Kessels job is to score, and he is doing that, it boggles my mind that an NHL player strays away from a hit (however big or small)
Not much of a fight, but Kessel held on, if he wanted to he could have easily thrown a few punches, but that isnt his Forte'
Oh well, 25+ goals playing with no set up man :-) decent

I don't see how you expect to win this argument when your team ISN'T EVEN IN THE PLAYOFFS.
BluesRaconteur 1 year ago
wether they are +9 or -9.. they were supposed to be the ones to carry our team...
And now that the team is remade, B/c the team at the beginning of the season was far from a playoff contention team... they mature, they learn from eachother, and then they play good together... having the entire face of a franchise change is obvious they shouldnt make the playoffs, yet you refuse to open your eyes and look at the facts.. rather just poke fun at draft picks and playoff contention

@leaf16nut
Refuse to open my eyes? Do you realize how important a 1st round draft pick is? Get that picture yet? Now imagine giving up TWO of your 1st round draft picks, knowing very well that you're in the rebuilding process. This may not have been a big deal if you can make it into the playoffs and get a decent record. This IS a big deal when you finish 2nd to last in the league. Also, how does the trade of 2 1st round picks bode for a REBUILDING team? Make sense? Doesn't to me.
BluesRaconteur 1 year ago
@leaf16nut
Also, you talk as if playoff contention isn't important? What in God's name does a hockey club play for if not a playoff berth and, ultimately, the Stanley Cup? You started your "rebuilding" phrase back when you foolishly gave up Sundin, don't be a fool. The team remade still consists of poor defense, save for Schenn and Phaneuf, an average offensive group that is as one-dimensional as you get, and is missing its next 2 1st round draft picks.

@leaf16nut
The Bruins began "rebuilding" back in 07, trading away Thornton and signing Chara and Savard. From there, they began to be playoff contenders once more. Do you know how we did it? NOT by trading for big-name stars in the O end and heavy hitters in the D end. With a new GM to make logical trades, and a new coach Claude Julien that stressed D over O, we began to win games. We also did not make stupid trades, especially concerning our 1st round picks. Take notes, Toronto fan.
BluesRaconteur 1 year ago
@BluesRaconteur
hahah, and look where its gotten you... w/e, that isnt much of a rebuild... thats just trading players...
And like your GM said, he expected TO to be in the bottom, therefore the essel trade wouldnt effect your team... BUT trading a proven scorer for an up and coming one is smarts... Not many players can come into the NHL their first year after being drafted, yet alone come into the NHL and score...
I dont need to take notes, im not a GM...
leaf16nut 1 year ago
@leaf16nut
Obviously you're not a GM. You'd absolutely run the team into the ground if you were.
Are you kidding me on the draft picks? We're not talking about a 5th, 6th, or 8th overall pick. IT'S 2ND OVERALL. You sound like an idiot. Also, a proven scorer and proven unaware at mid ice and a bad character. Have fun when he Lindros' his own career. Also, it wasn't much of a rebuild? What the hell do you think rebuilds are?
BluesRaconteur 1 year ago
@BluesRaconteur What it comes down to is whether or not kessel is better than seguin. Because the leafs gaurenteed will make the playoffs this year, and even if they don't they're not finishing close to a decent draft pick for boston. So seriously it comes down to who is better... kessel or seguin.
jeffbass999 1 year ago
@jeffbass999
First of all, when NO team in the NHL even has 20 games under their belt, NOTHING is guaranteed.
How do you know they're not going to finish with a poor record? You guys start off the season on a good note and that suddenly means you're going to finish as the #1 seed? Yeah, if all your key players stay healthy, right?
Anyways, Seguin is looking good for his rookie season. He's on pace to outscore Kessel's rookie season, so I'm fine with how our FIRST Toronto pick has gone.

@BluesRaconteur Before you get all defensive and aggressive, post another comment when the regular season is over. If the leafs do worse than the bruins I will humbly swallow my pride. If the leafs beat the bruins.... I will stick it up your cum covered ass

I love how you take concrete figures and facts as being defensive. Insecure of your team much? I can vouch that you'll make up some stupid excuse for your team's failure. It's in your nature.

@BluesRaconteur It was so funny, I knew some people that were almost certain the Leafs were gonna win the cup this year. I didn't say anything, but I had to laugh when maybe two or three weeks later they had a good 9 or 10 game losing streak happening.

@Crim247
You're an idiot. If every team Boston played choked, that must mean that the Leafs choke YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
You talk about next year for the Bruins because that's all you can do. The fact is that we tore up the league this year and took home the Cup. Our goalie is taking home the Vezina and Chara is probably taking home the Norris.
ROFL at the Leafs not making the playoffs for 5 years straight. Thanks for the draft picks!
BluesRaconteur 8 months ago
@BluesRaconteur Choke? The leafs haven't had a number one goaltender for the past five years, what do u expect?. And yes, the fact that Boston was able to win two games sevens with a bunch of shitty goals makes them lucky. Boston couldn't even beat the leafs at the end of the season. Toronto easily has a much brighter future than Boston, especially with someone like kessel.
Crim247 8 months ago
@Crim247
A bunch of shitty goals? So the fact that we outclassed and outscored Price, Luongo and Roloson suggests that it was just a tendency to score shitty goals? Because those goalies always let in shitty goals, right?
The Leafs haven't had a solid defense corps in the past 5 years. They haven't had solid leadership since Sundin (maybe Kaberle...what team is he on?). They haven't forechecked to save their lives in the past 5 years.
We have the Cup. You have "hopes" for the future.
BluesRaconteur 8 months ago
@BluesRaconteur Toronto under Burke clearly stresses defense over offense... Beauchemin, Phaneuf, Schenn, Kaberle, Komisarek, etc. Probably would now be considered one of the best defensive corps in the league.

lol, bruins are gonna get a lottery pick. kessel is not worth 2 first round picks. Burke is losing his edge or something. And if canadians werent on the bruins roster other people would be so that was a stupid comment. and dont say that the level of play would be worse because if there were no canadians then the other players would be better in comparison like ovie would really really wreck and it would be more exciting. but good try , trying to be smart " philkessel2"

die hard bruins fan, was a big kessel fan based solely on his talent on the ice which nobody can deny. i truly believe boston got the better end of the deal, but the Leafs can only be happy for what they got. this kid is 22 years old, already a proven sniper/dangler/goal scorer, he just knows how to score. he's lightning fast. i'll admit i was bitter at first when boston let him get away, but i can only wish the best for him in toronto.
