He really got the shitty end of the stick didn't he? I feel bad for the guy. You can hear in his voice that he didn't wanna be in Toronto.

Yep. He has played somewhere over 1200 regular season games in the NHL but only 6 playoff games and the time he is on one of the best teams in the league he gets traded to a team going scorched earth.
He says he is happy to be here in the interview but it doesn't seem that way from his body language and voice.

Yeah, he's fucking pissed. When I said "man if I was him I'd be pissed" two Leafs fans told me that he was sucking ass this year in Nashville (so it was his fault). I mean, if he was playing wing instead of center and that is a legitimate reason as to why his numbers are so shitty, then come on

reality finally sinking in
Santa and Franson have a shot now. I'm sure they will be great for Preds.
I know nothing of the Nashville situation, but him playing wing could also factor in that he just wasn't good enough on that team to play center.
Whether by design or people who started off lower on the depth charge surpassed him.
I have no problem with him being pissed about being traded, but that's a part of the NHL. Be pissed but you have an obligation to swallow it up and go forward with whatever team you are on. I'm sure the Leafs will try to trade him to help him out as well.
Don't say such things!

Holy hell at McJesus! I wonder if he could've had 150 points at the pace he was going?

Quick ;w;
Exactly me if/when it happens.
Too small!!
I wouldn't bet the farm on Toronto getting a lot for Kessel. The contract is a negative, so just like Phaneuf, it's going to take a junk contract in return to get anything done. I wouldn't be surprised if Toronto has zero luck in moving either of them or just end up getting much less than expected.

Man I love playing Monster Hunter 4 with my team of Palicos. It's like having NHL-Age's cat crew helping me out. Kave, of course, leading the charge.

Jagr-Pleks-Sekac.
Believe.
That involves Therrien not only giving Sekac a chance, but putting him in a situation/position where he could flourish.
Won't ever happen.

STOP MAKING SENSE
WHOOOO Put Rask in the Trash. Here comes Subban.
I wish he played Against us
His contract isn't junk, it's great for his output, it's just an expensive contract which you would expect for a player of his calibre.
Most signs seem to be that Phaneuf's $7M contract is going to be a lot harder to move than Kessel's contract.
Here are some zany stats for tonight's Isles-Rangers game:
The Rangers are 27-5-2 when scoring first this season.
The Islanders are 13-0-0 when giving up the first goal but scoring the second.
The Rangers are 14-1-1 vs. Metropolitan teams not named the Islanders.
The Islanders are 18-2-0 vs. the Metropolitan division, including 11-0 at Nassau Colisseum.
The aggregate score in the Rangers-Islanders series so far this year is 13-4, Islanders.
If the Rangers can somehow win tonight, they move into second place in the Metro just 2 points behind the Islanders with 2 games in hand (and more ROWs). That, however, is a very big if.

I bet Alucard wears that shirt to bed every night.
He doesn't wear it, he uses it as a pillow case

I'd gladly give up a 2nd round pick if it meant I never had to hear Jason York do commentary ever again.
