Kessel Scores vs. Wisconsin

[goldygopher26]

Only team worse then the badgers is the sioux

[seeerkit]

fuckin hate wisconsin.

[cjgrovestreet4life]

i thought kessel didnt wanna go to the badgers cause he didnt like jack skille...thats just what i heard

[thewhitewhale11]

@cjgrovestreet4life you're right. he was a dick to a lot of people at the ntdp including skille. he's kinda made a lot of enemies during his hockey career. the whole state of mass hates him

[coloradokid1992]

Wow those kids sound pretty butthurt that a product of their state chose to go to the better university.

[hockey1792]

Regardless of who you cheer for it's always great to see someone/anyone survive cancer and succeed. I hope Kessel can help the U.S. bring home the gold in Vancouver.

[monez14]

A rare good hockey player from Wisconsin. Most the loser Badgers are Canucks

[mdizzy521]

@monez14

is that why the US olympic team has four badgers with three of them from the State of Wisconsin (Pavelski, Kessel, Suter)? Yeah, go eat shit and ON WISCONSIN!

[mdizzy521]

@mdizzy521

meant 3 wisconsin natives (i dont want to associate Kessel with the UW) and 3 badgers (Rafalski)

[demayonnaise]

Badgers went on to win this game AND the National Championship.

PS: Where's your other nut, Phil? Low blow? Eh, it's OK, there's nothing down there to hurt.

[ipearlzi]

i think you need to get some balls kid.

hes in the nhl now so u can suck his right nut nerd

[demayonnaise]

That's a weak comeback, buddy. Try some punctuation next time and I'll take you seriously. You sound like a 12 year old.

[stwargis21]

Phil Kessel is better than anyone on that Badgers team that won the national championship.

[Nordstatsbo]

That's fucked up man. I hope your balls get chopped off.

[stwargis21]

You guys lost that game...

[301807137]

go kessel!

[jkballstills52]

yeah sucks that theres just SO many good hockey players from mn that the gophers cant take them all...

[tjax9]

blake wheeler... erik johnson... kyle okposo... jordan schroeder... minnesotans

[GBgamblers23]

sucks that the highest drafted minnesotans go to wisconsin

mcdonagh.....gardiner.....step­an.....

[laci0008]

It does suck those guys must have really been given some good incentives, Schroeder will probably be a top ten pick in the draft, hopefully him Ness, Matson and the rest of em stick around for more than 2 minutes

[laci0008]

how the hell did Boston get both Kessel and Wheeler. Wtf! Gophers get top talent that leaves after a year or two it fucking sucks ass.

[watsupdig]

canadiens blow

[thegreathambino1]

i love the swagger

[DDevil891]

I wish he was still a prick. He'd make a great pest type player.

[AGP12345]

Kessel doesn't stop.

[EightyTwo82]

Kessel was such a bitch back then. Good thing he matured in the NHL or he'd have been bounced from the league before you could say Patrik Stefan.

[larsen550]

Bitch? Are you from Minnesota or did you watch the seasons with Kessel? He was a hard working, amazing, and skilled player.

[Rbk9k7]

i love what he does thats just great. Go Gophers

[hockeystud009]

I was at this game and let me tell you, that was a sweet goal and a good game! GO GOPHERS!!!

[deathnotefan18]

haha nice goal the guy with one ball hahahahahah bruins suckkk go habs gooo

[mathers345]

wait just tell me was kessel the guy who completely raped ur ass in the playoffs or when he had a 19 game point streak while carey price sucking his own nuts go bruins go habs suck cunt

[deathnotefan18]

k... who win the playoff..k and hmm who not gonna win the stanley cup yea u right the teedy bears with tim turtle thomas

[bigkess41]

u mean allstar tim thomas

[gopherhockeyfreak]

badgers are the scum of collage hockey

[GBgamblers23]

i would of given you a thumbs up but you spelled college wrong

[gopherhockeyfreak]

hahahahaha my beef.

[lunchboxasylum]

Why do Minnesota and Wisconsin people always fight? Christ. We're basically the exact same state. Our cultures are almost identical. Just shut the fuck up and make fun of Iowa or North Dakota.

[jtoatoktoe]

no Minnesota hates Wisconsin...they are like the red headed step child of the world

[dmorgan31]

So you want to argue that wisconsin produces better NHL players. Must be nice being able to watch them when they go pro, oh wait, the NHL doesn't want a team in your piece of shit state. And you want to argue national titles? Football: 6-1 Basketball: 2-1 Baseball: 3-0 Wrestling: 3-0 Yup, you're up one in hockey, so if natl. titles are your argument, you can't even compare with MN in any other sport.

[ogredm]

Here comes the fact train to derail half of your argument:

You have no basketball titles.

You haven't seen the baseball tourney since the mid-70s.

Your last football title was voted to you after losing the Rose Bowl in an 8-2 season in 1960 (NCAA Football titles are a joke). Your last title before that was in 1941. UM football games are scantly attended.

You've won only one Rose Bowl game.

I'll give you that you have a great wrestling program. Way to go.

[ogredm]

Meanwhile, UW outnumbers your national titles in basketball and hockey.

While Tubby may help turn around your basketball program, basketball and football is CONSIDERABLY more alive in Madison. You want to compare records over the last fifteen years?

Our baseball team has been undefeated since 1992 (joke).

We have 8 national titles in cross country and track, and have over 50 Big Ten team titles. You have 2 and 13.

We have 27 non-NCAA rowing titles. You have one women's B10 title.

[ogredm]

... aaaaaaand lest we forget:

The NHL was going to give Milwaukee a team in the early 90s (likely in place of Florida), but our main investor (Lloyd Petit) backed out and said he only wanted a relocated franchise. The North Stars, Jets, Nordiques and Whalers all had other plans.

Oh, and the Wild are owned by a guy from Racine, Wis.

There are more junior and minor league teams (3) in Wisco than in Minny (1). But, it all comes down to this: the cultures are more similar than you think.

[zamboni1435]

the cultures are nothing alike. Go drinking with some one from Wisconsin... if you survive... go drinking from some one from Minnesota.

NOBODY can hang with Wisconsin people when it comes to drinking... NOBODY! (I'm a Minnesotian... and I approve this message because my liver couldn't take it any more)

[hann0113]

Hahaha gophers 148 wins, 80 losses against the badgers all-time!

[NightOpsProductions]

Kessel is seriously the man.

[TBombMadeEZ]

I love this goal, the reaction from the crowd is awesome. Question though, what is the defender doing on that play? Didn't even challenge him. The goalie needs to make that save too. Just all around poor Badger play.

[jameslwoods]

hey badger87...get a clue...the gophers own the badgers head-to-head all time...check your record book dumb-ass. it isn't even close!

[leofx001]

148--80... all-time record gophers vs. badgers. try pulling the cock out of your mouth and make an excuse for that wisconsin.

[jameslwoods]

Lets see here, Wisconsin=gets all their players from Minnesota cause Wisconsin sucks, Minnesota is dominant team year in and year out with all homegrown players cause Minnesota is true hockey country badger87...you clowns only have a good team about once per decade when you get enough Minnesota players that year.

[ogredm]

And your best player from the last four seasons was born in Madison. It's not really a big deal where they come from, players play for the school that they want to play for. Wisconsin generally attracts the well rounded players, Minnesota generally attracts the scorers. Both are powerhouse programs. Typical gopher arrogance leads to ignoring facts: In the last 8 seasons, you've had a better record just 5 times. Considering we had a coaching change in that time, I'd say that's not dominant.

[PatrickjEibert]

Phill Kessel is the shit. that is the best goal/celebration ever. God bless kessel!

[pen24]

Badger 87 is a fag. Wisconsin gets all their players from Minnesota.

[Skerj93]

So true!

[ogredm]

Lets see... the best UW players in the past several years: Burish, Earl, Skille, Pavelski, Elliott, Turris, Street, Mitchell, Connelly, Geoffrion, Gilbert, McBain and McDonagh. Only three of those players were from Minnesota.

Last year, we had four Minnesotans on our roster, only two of which had major ice time every game. Another of which earned a spot later in the season. There were 7 Wisconsin born players with regular ice time.

But why let facts get in the way of a bad argument?

[Badgers87]

let's see here, wisconsin=6 hockey national titles, minnesota=5 hockay national titles... someone apparently needs to teach minnesota that 6 is greater then 5

[thatswhatshesaid96]

kessel can walk on water, i'v seen him do it

[vikingsguy7]

badgers suck...minnesota 2 titles in last decade, wisconsin 1...2>1 dumbass.

[Skerj93]

Who's better than Tomas Vanek/Phil Kessel in the NHL Right Now that came from the Badgers!

[ogredm]

Dany Heatley, for one.

How many Minny goalies had careers like CuJo, Jim Carey and Mike Richter?

How many Minny blueliners had careers like Chris Chelios, Gary Suter or Brian Rafalski?

Since Neal Broten left, you've had what... Darby Hendrickson, Jordan Leopold and a bunch of career AHLers (at best) until Vanek came along.  Gopher success in the NHL is a very new phenomenon, compared to the Badgers.

[Skerj93]

how much time do u have on your hands to write all of these comments

[ogredm]

skerj,

it honestly doesn't take too long. for me, these arguments are so easy and factually sound that it doesn't take long to just rattle 'em off.

[Skerj93]

OH, I dont care Kessel is the best

[Twinsworldchamps91]

haha you're such a loser, check the standings bud.

[larsen550]

Dumbshit, how is your record vs the Gophers?

[jdosen3]

WisconSIN blows!!!!

[01MTK01]

kesssel is the shitttttttttttt

[Skerj93]

if he is shit why is he in the nhl?

Along with vanek?

And soon Blake wheeler!

And Kyle Okposo!

Eric Johnson!!!

[wmbdm]

He was Great in the World Juniors!He ain't on the same Level as the STAAL Brother's or Getzlaf!

[Skerj93]

Random!!

LOL

[nicolegymnast]

he is from wisconsin. minnesota sucks

[Wisconsinbadgerhky]

if he would have commited to wisconsin he coulda go a national championship ring

[Skerj93]

I wonder why he didnt though?

LOL!!!

[ogredm]

Sker, the answer is simple:

Phil preferred losing games 4-5 and scoring two goals over winning 2-1 games and having a complete skill set. ;-D

All the power to him, though. He's doing his home state (Wisco) and his alma mater (Minny) proud right now.

[vikingsguy7]

wisconsin sux nuts

[qtpie484]

ok back to hockey i love is goal i mean it stuck it to the fans and he should wisconsin sucks!! GO GOPHERS!!!!

[oehieze]

man... that took balls huh... oh wait :)

[Devin27]

kessel is from Wisconsin..fuck minnesota

[mghockey1818]

well good one devin..have you noticed Minnesota is compromised of all Minnesota boys besides Briggs? Did you notice that every recruit you have coming in is from Minnesota? Have you relized how many more D1 and NHL players we have than you do? Seriously Wisconsin is a shit hole compared to Minnesota when it comes to hockey..no one compares with it.

[Devin27]

i probably shouldnt have said "fuck minnesota" because they do dominate eeveryone..but wisconsin would be up there with michigan but not a minnesota

[robby212166666666]

The smartest guy from Wisconsin ever. Went to the right school. Good choice. Kyle okposo coming back watch out 2007-2008 national champs. And all of you are lucky we keep losing guys to the pros or we'd have about 10 titiles!!! Ahhhh to be so great.

[wolfcb32003]

Did you eat paint chips as a child?

[lodacho]

He goes to Cretin-Derhim Hall.

[lodacho]

Ryan McDonagh doesn't go to m.a. you idiot.

[wihockey06]

Hey Minnehaha, thanks for Ryan McDonagh!

[Wisconsinbadgerhky]

yeah!!!!!!!

[vikingsguy7]

keep taking dumbass packers fuggin blow ass

[vikingsguy7]

players leaves teams all the time at any time...Wisconsin just sux

[wihockey06]

6>5 = one year wonders... alrighty.

[vikingsguy7]

win title (thanks to cornell choking in 3 ot) and not even make it to ncaa's following year, definition of a one-year wonder if you ask me tool

[vikingsguy7]

one title and they miss the ncaas the following year, yea, one year wonder...

[larsen550]

Yeah. Its funny how Brian Elliot was a "superstar" that year they won it and then he sucked cock the next

[Spammer04]

people in Arizona don't seem to mind me at all and I'm from Minnesota. Tool.

[tblach04]

Love Kessel, but the state of Minnesota is worthless. The people smell bad and they all have that retarded accent. If your from Minnesota please stay there, the rest of the world doesn't want you.

[vikingsguy7]

Arizona fucking sux u piece of shit...who wants to live in 150 degree weather....like a fucking hell hole...

[Spammer04]

you're the piece of shit, you like the Vikings. The Arizona Cardinals will win a Super Bowl before the Vikings ever do. Bitch.

[Qsafm5]

Kessel chooses Minnesota over UW and then gets ball cancer this year. It's karma I tell you.

[vikingsguy7]

wisconsin sux yall can suck minnesota dick

[wihockey06]

Minnesota= Wisconsin's b!tch

[vikingsguy7]

wisconsin blows idiot...fucking one yr wonders

[wiscbadgr22]

Wow what a fag. He scores 1 meaningless goal in 5 games against wisconsin and it was against Connelly, then he does that shit to the crowd. Glad he went to play for gay goldy gopher while we won the national championship

[TBombMadeEZ]

I think he did it, since Badger fans were on him all series. He scored and he was saying "Where are your boos now?" No more. No less.

Badgers can win any game with their goaltending. It's just this year, the Gophers can too.

[lilgrow3]

MichaelBearwalf just got one thing to say to you. hes kinda in the nhl so it really doesnt matter if he felt special that he scored on a backup goaltender or if he is a prick but most likely im doubting it

[zoofan]

fouck u

[chappy48]

I'd like to see Minnesota lose it's best 8 players from last year and still be able to compete. We struggled early because of injuries, but Wisconsin's won 6 of it's last 9 games, including splitting a series with Minnesota. All we got to do is make the NCAA tourney, then the season starts all over again. You better hope Minnesota doesn't choke this time, though they've made an art of it.

[vikingsguy7]

minnesota reloads every year...wisconsin hockey sux

[sunshineriches]

we just have to many good players who leave after their fresh and soph year it needs to stop.

[chuckd0ggy]

New Year, new players, minnesota doesnt rebuild it reloads, watch out wisconson jack skille cant even save your season

[Michigan8303]

wisconisn ur just fuckheads! minnesota fucked ur ass up good this year! Were #1 ur not even in the top 10 so fuck u and were going all the way this year!!! M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!

[cypressmills]

Wait a second, you have internet in that backward state of WI? Pride on Ice.

[ibraeden]

screw minnesota!!! dey are F**kin' retards.

[monez14]

Minnesota vs Becky all-time series: 145-77-15

Always have and always will be the little step sister to the State of Hockey

[jontefagerlund]

heja aik

[vballgal5]

Father, son, holy cross, we dont have to pray for a minnesota loss.

[cecc0011]

You guys are all cockknocks.

A program's success doesn't depend on how well they do in the pros. College game is completely different than the NHL. And, boy, you really named some of the NHL's greats, there... Shuchuk, Rafalski, Reinprecht, Heatley.

If you want to talk about flops from college to pro, how about Ron Dayne?

And you forgot one person from Minnesota Hockey history... Herb Brooks.

[iamhaack]

Funny how not a single Rodents fan has named anybody in the NHL who was worth a crap yet. Nice work. And yeah, Heatley sucks. He's certainly not one of the most exciting goal scorers in the league.

And...Ron Dayne? Seriously?  28 Badgers in the NFL to MN's 13. We have more starters in the league than you have players. Barber III and Maroney are really the only two that even get any play. Congrats, moron. Stay on topic, or at least in the same sport, genius.

[pawinds33]

i'm not from either state, but daney heatley is the man

[iamhaack]

Sad, really.

[Au7punker]

Dude dont hate on phil. Its not like phil got drafted top 10

oh wait

he did

Badgers suck gophers dick. Badgers will never amount to anything. They will never get drafted. Badgers players suck. People who go to shcool in wisconsin suck. You guys are sooooooooo badgers

[runnincard22]

Uh huh, do the two words "Safety School" mean anything to you when you think about Wisconsin and Minnesota? If not, I'll give you a hit, Minnesota is the safety school. Badger players suck huh? 6 is more than 5 right? Oh wait Minnesota has more Hobey Bakers, who the hell cares, since when did Hobey Bakers win national titles. Go look at the 1981 NCAA Hockey title game, that is where the term "Coaching Clinic" was started.

[iamhaack]

Dang, I forgot...

NCAA National Championships Won:

Badgers - 6

Rodents - 5

[ibraeden]

Oh yeah screw those rodents

[iamhaack]

By the way, did you enjoy having Kessel? There for one year and you got nothin' We sure enjoyed laughing at you for going down in flames with that selfish prima dona.

GO BADGERS!

[ibraeden]

I'm on your side man. on Wisconsin!!

[iamhaack]

Minnesota's Hobey Baker Award Winners:

Jordan Leoplod -- so far more penalty minutes than points. ho-hum.

Brian Bonin -- played 12 NHL games and did not record a point. Stellar.

Robb Stauber -- recorded 21 wins in his entire "5 year" NHL career in which he played in more than 6 games in only TWO of those seasons.

Neil Broten -- the only legit one of the bunch? Although, his middle name is LaMoy. What's that about?

This is what you're bragging about? Really?

[gophersuck]

Holy Cross!!!! What a goal!!! HA HA

[gophersuck]

GOPHERS SUCK AND CAN KISS MY ASS

[MichaelBearwalf]

UW:Dany Heatley,Mike Richter,Cutis Joseph,Chris Chelios,Jim Carey,Scott Mellanby,Steve Reinprecht,Tony Granato,Brian Rafalski,Gary Shuchuk,Sean Hill... all of which have done better than 90% of the Gopher nhlers past or present.

[buckjenkins09]

too bad none of those players are from wisconsin and the only player that scored when wisconsin beat MN was from MN

[madtowncap88]

your an idiot...13 of the badgers players last year were wisconsin natives

[buckjenkins09]

go to the 3rd page and see what you replied to ass

[MichaelBearwalf]

name one Gopher who has produced better than Heatley and Cujo... you can't can you.

[MichaelBearwalf]

sdfriar, you're retarded... Wisconsin has produced much better NHLers and it will always be that way. Brag about your Hobey Winners... the last time I checked that does not equal a great future.

[monez14]

Lol @ Wiscy has produced better NHLers....wow typical Cheesehead hick from dirty ass Milwaukee

[MichaelBearwalf]

wow he must feel special scoring a goal on the Wisconsin Backup goaltender.... I live like 2 mins from him and can tell you this... the guy is a prick

[Devin27]

Hey..you guys should respect them, there both great teams..i am from wisconsin and a wisconsin fan..but i will always restpet the gophers, both team r loaded with talent

[sdfriar]

There's just way too much foolishness in that post for me to respond to unless I make an equally ridiculous three part post. Basically, there's nothing as special as the tradition of Minnesota hockey. I can't possibly explain it to you, and you'll never understand it.

[MikeMath9]

Wisconsin Badgers: 2006 National Champions

Minnesota Gophers: Holy Cross' ticket to the second round

Great choice Phil. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Skille > Phil

[sackettcj]

As if being in 3 championships in a row and winning 2 of the 3 in the early 80s, is a less-worthy achievement. Whatever. Your "Pride On Ice" sure served you well through the 80s and 90s, didn't it? Thank your lucky stars that you finally got a coach smart enough to not hang onto that Minnesota dumba** mentality of recruiting only Minnesotans. (continued)

[sdfriar]

Maybe we should talk about blowing you out of the water in the last two months to win the McNaughton Cup...or the 11 McNaughton Cups we've won overall...Then there are the 4 Hobey Baker winners. I looked for the Wisconsin Hobey Baker winners at the Kohl Center...didn't find one! Wisconsin has a worthy program, but face it...you will never have the history and prestige of Minnesota's Pride on Ice.

[sackettcj]

sdfriar....you are a joke. What other lesser awards do you want to brag about? If you won the NCAA's, you'd shoot your mouth off about that. But you didn't this time, so then you go with MacNaughton Cups (spell it right moron....if you've won 11 of them, you'd think you could spell it right) and Hobey Bakers. (continued in next post)

[sackettcj]

(That MacNaughton sure did you a lot of good at the Final Five, didn't it? Got spanked by Bucky if I recall.) Can't tell you how many times I've been involved in conversations at parties that revolved around those types of awards. (Try never.) But this is how it works in Minnesota....pick WHATEVER you can grab onto and run with it. Just like my friend Jake the Gopher fan. We won the NCAA this year, so all he can say is "yeah, win 2 in a row and then talk to me." (continued)

[sackettcj]

No matter what any of you Minnesota pukes have to say...it doesn't matter. We won...you didn't. So does it really matter that we didn't get Phil Kessel? Apparently not. And my good friend Jake, HUGE Gopher fan...can't stand him anyway. Says Kessel doesn't pass. Help yourself to all of the selfish players you want. We don't need 'em.

[pawinds33]

why would kessel pass? he's money... pure money

[chivasusa]

"You.. still.. suck.."

[chappy48]

He probably wasn't good enough to play on the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Team that is the Wisconsin Badgers. But he is good enough to play on a team that gets knocked out in the first round of the NCAA tourney by the hockey powerhouse known as Holy Cross.

[hockeyplaya77]

that must be why he was the 5th pick in the draft

you're an idiot

[chappy48]

Wow, you're so smart that you couldn't figure out I was dogging the team, not the player. But good job on that one fag.

[HockeyMetalRPG]

He is going to be soooo good for the B's!!!

[dinkytown82]

wow, wisconsin is such a worhtless piece of shit state - it's no wonder why he decided to come such a fine unversity.

[runnincard22]

Yes, exactly, which is why the pussy left after one year after being beaten by Holy Cross in the first round of the tournament. Kessel's a bitch, and Minnesota has how many titles? 5, Wisconsin, oh yeah 6 moron.

[chappy48]

Minnesota sucks. Wisconsin Rules! That and we have more National championships then Minnesota.

[schranker]

Look it up. Each previous hockey championship was due to the majority of the players on the team being from MINNESOTA. But I give you credit for last year. Elliot was great in goal.

[Twinsworldchamps91]

Gophers owned badgershit last weekend...talk.

[joeblow070809]

Kessel = Traitor, he's from the great state of Wisconsin

[OneShot5]

Phil Kessel = The next Great One
