Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
I have to agree with Guardian 1 on this one -
Man up and take your lumps - that is how one garners respect..stick swinging your way out of a fight is for puss es. No excuses and no respect for what Kessel did.

Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
Dayzer, I had a 50 goal tell me last night that when he played in Europe you were suspended for dropping your gloves, so he would wait for the opportunity to sucker punch the guy and only get a two minute penalty.
Lets take out fighting and the way we will deal with guys like Kessel and others like him will be spearing, slashing, back stabbing and sucker punching. "Brilliant" solution.
I say don't start what you can't finish and if you live by the sword you will dye by the sword. Well, maybe someone else has said those lines as well. The day intimidation is taken out of the game is the day I will stop watching hockey.

Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
Should Kessel have used his stick no.....
Should Scott have gone after Kessel no....
I don't even know what we are arguing anymore, and I certainly don't like arguing an ex-pro about this stuff...but those saying Kessel should man up and have went toe-to-toe...give your head a shake please...its like saying Yzerman should have taken on Dave Brown....Sittler against Shultz....Bourque against Nilan......Denis Savard against Kocur.....Pierre Turgeon against Tony Twist....Tony Tanti against Al Secord.....Guy Carboneau against Kordic....Igor Larionov vs Probert....Henrik Sedin vs Colton Orr.....did the above ever happen?
I went to university with a guy who was 6'9" (he played Varsity Volleyball) had to duck to get under a door frame, he came out with us to play hockey once.....ridiculous how big this guy was on the ice with skates...I'd like to see you guys when a guys Scott sizes tells you for no reason (and he had no reason to go after Kessel)on the faceoff "we're going" what you would do... and I doubt he said "Phillip, its my intentions to engage you in fisticuffs I will not injure you" like he says, I watched the video and it was more like "were going" and Kessel response is like "wtf...are u kidding me....hey (swing)...get the fack out of here(swing)....fack off"
This is not Junior or Senior hockey where everyone is pretty much fair game....this is the NHL, you have guys that fight a lot, guys who fight sometimes and guys who never fight...its not a mystery, you follow the "code", and if you are a fighter and you do get tangled with a non-fighter it happens, but its never a staged off the draw fight

Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
I understand where you are coming from.
What do you do with a guy like Kessel who now has a history of swinging his stick?
3 exhibition games sound fair to me!
How do players now not take matters into there own hands?
Did all those players have stick swinging incidents?
When did 2 wrongs make 1 right?

I understand where your coming from Dayzer but stick swinging (or in this case tree chopping) is not the answer.

Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
I blame the coach for sending in the Goon to pick a fight with a guy who is not really a fighter.
First of all it's preseason for krip shakes and if I was Kessel, I'd crack him over the head. Would Shultz go after a Wayne Gretzky ? No bring on Orielly or any other tough guy.
Dayzer , Sittler could fight and was not afraid too.

Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
P.S.K... Phil S. Kessel... "Phyllis Kessel".
This is not a Euro abbreviation of Kessel:

Re: Toronto stick swinger! SHOULD BE TOSSED FOR THE YEAR
Nice, each swing of the stick pocketed him about 10 mil.
