Some of you should become Pens fans if you like Kessel so much.
I knew I had an opportunity to become a Canucks fan at some point. Dang it. Just missed the boat I guess.
What?
Incoming anger laden posts about how they're two completely different players
hm.
it used to be - fans would hope that the team does well, and never mind the individual
now it's "wow. i sure hope the individual totally embarrasses the team "
anyway.
I hope my team does well, and that the person who is NOT on my team doesn't impact the game. because, you know. he's not on my team.
Hopefully the embarrassing part of our fanbase keeps their mouths shut tonight. You never heard Canucks fans complaining about Bure being one-dimensional. Only in Toronto does an 82 point player need to be a grinder. Haven't heard a peep from Penguins fans about his defense either.
Kessel is 20th all-time in Leafs points, and had he played out his contract, would likely be in some heady company.

If you can't see the difference between Mats and Kessel than there's nothing else to say. Even so, it's all about the crest in front of the sweater, not the names or numbers on the back. If you aren't a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs you're the enemy, plain and simple.

Eh, the nature of sports fandom is changing somewhat, people are almost drawn as much to star players as they are teams.
I still cheer for the Leafs first and foremost (and will be cheering for them tonight), but there are players on other team's who I also enjoy watching. I'm a hockey fan in general as well as a Leafs fan.
Kessel never pretended to be anything more than what he is from day 1. That's who he was when he was traded for and traded away. If he was known as a workhorse and hard nosed player who turned into what he is now, than maybe we could fault him for that.
You're right.. one player left the team in free agency after refusing a trade... and the other was traded and did not ask to leave.. Anyone who boos Kessel tonight is simply rude..
