Kessel, JvR, and Kulemin in Sochi

[The Podium]

Strange that tsn doesn't have boxscores for these games.

They probably aren't allowed, it doesn't look like any of the big sports networks have them

How has Kulemin been doing?

Pretty meh. He's doing what he does on the Leafs but is now even more offensively inept and for some reason even less physical - still good on the PK though. Hasn't generated much of anything and he was playing with some offensively decent players in Anisimov and Tarasenko (Semin today). He did look good today but he needs shifts with Malkin because his line is also being just as offensively inept.

Patrick Kane may have inadvertently downgraded his Chicago Blackhawks captain as he heaped on praise for fellow Team USA forward Phil Kessel.Kane figures Kessel is “probably the best guy I’ve ever played with. He’s unbelievable.”Kessel entered the Olympic tournament as the NHL’s hottest scorer, and hasn’t slowed down a bit. Entering Wednesday’s quarterfinal round, Kessel leads all scorers with seven points (four goals, three assists).

(Kane complimenting kessel) This is good news for us as captain serious might use this as motivation

Even as a Canadian, deep down I think a gold medal for the States would be far more beneficial for the Leafs; you take the hottest duo in the league and let them lead their country to gold/bask in the high of winning (with Kessel currently gunning for the MVP), you would think they'd come back elated, bursting with confidence & positivity, and hungry to win again.

Canada must lose, so the Leafs can win.

Another goal for Phil! (and one for JvR too)

Phil Kessel probably just scored because an elimination game being 4-1 in the third period terrifies him.

bwahahaha

awesome tweet

Glad JVR and Kessel kept rolling .. Now we get to see them against Canada - I will feel to confused during this game

 

[Igy]

The thrill with another goal.

As much as it would suck to watch Canada win Bronze, I'd take a sky high Phil Kessel and JVR over a Canadian gold any day. Call me unpatriotic but I love the Leafs more then I care about Canada on the world stage.

With Russia out, Sweden not at their best, the Finns hurting, Canada unable to get their **** together and the US the only team looking good, the party has kinda died anyway.

Toews asked about Kane.. “He’s alright, that Kessel guy is even betterâ€

Kessel from Kesler
JVR from Kesler

Best thing from this game, no mention of Joe Pavelski.

Interactif you know this board better than that! Que the Kesler to Toronto rumours!I And he's a more realistic target over Pavelski

 

[blue82]

hopefully the leafs have the full team at practice on sunday

I like Kesler, would have no problem with this. But can't see it happening barring moving any combination, or Kadri, Gardiner and or Rielly.

 

[FlareKnight]

Certainly feel for Kulemin. Definitely coming back to the team in low spirits after Russia goes out like that.

At least Kessel and JVR are remaining key and productive.

 

[BonMorrison]

Hopefully Kulemin can use this loss to resume his awesome job as our 3C.

 

[Peasy]

If Kessel and JVR light up Canada I won't even be mad.

 

[Mess]

Well put .

 

[Trainspotter]

I hope the boys have a good practice then need to run home to watch Phil and JVR tear up the Finals.

 

[BiggestLeafsFanEVER*]

ha ha kadri said he thought the us was the better team

If Kessel and JVR light up Canada I won't even be mad.
