I live for Phil Kessel stories....have heard this one before but it never gets old. Can't wait till he's out of the league and we can hear them all.

[@aloneafterhours9969]

Agreed. He's by far the funniest character of the NHL. I hope they can get him on the Pod.

[@brettgillan6953]

Never wish a legend like that to go…

[@Thizzin88Bay]

@@brettgillan6953 should rephrase; can't wait to hear his stories whenever he decides to retire. I'd hope he would give an entertaining interview but kind of afraid the Kessel stories are best told from the third party.

Phil Kessel is one of my favourite hockey players ever. Hopefully he makes the Hall

[@mattallan6338]

No question Phil will get into the Hof

[@chrisg7731]

@@mattallan6338 I fucking love Kessel as a Pens fan, but I dunno if it's automatic. He's way under a point a game, big time minus player. A lot of guys who scored roughly as many as him didn't get in. But hopefully back to back cups pushes him over the edge. He had arguably the best wrister in the game for a while, including while on the Pens. And a monster in the playoffs.

[@mattallan6338]

@@chrisg7731 ya it may not be automatic, it I think it will happen,he's #11 on the American born scoring list,he'll be top 10 before he retires.his popularity amongst peers also should help.I hope to see him in there some day!!

@@biggbluh Guy is an NHL ironman since 2009, scored the most points in the 2016 playoffs, and almost has 1000 points. I think he deserves it but there are a few things holding him back

[@zalapski9399]

If he hits 500 goals, he’ll probably be around 1200 points, along with 2 Cups and being a big contributor for those runs he should get in.

[@benoitleblanc9818]

The last of a dying breed, true talent. Now it's all about rich kids getting into the league because daddy had Money to pay for private hockey on the Side 12 months a year

[@YodasChode]

Yup, the game is not what it used to be. Shame

[@TheDecapitatedApple]

It’s been like that for quite some time now nothing new. One of the reasons people don’t watch hockey is cause it’s less accessible

[@Sin.Atonement]

Still takes talent to play though

[@Southboundpachyderm]

Hockey has always been an upper middle class white persons sport. The difference is that there was still a chance for you to make it if you weren't one of those people. It's not that way now because the wealth disparity is worse than it ever has been and now we all have the internet to talk about how shitty it is that only rich kids get to play hockey because its so god damned expensive to play even rec hockey. Idk how the fuck my mom was able to afford it for me and I only played rec. In general sports get a shit load of funding, but they don't actually distribute the wealth they fucking horde it. If billionaire owners, Millionaire GMs and other insanely high paid executives that don't actually play the game weren't actively trying to horde as much of the income as possible as personal profit, that money could be redistributed into programs that help lower income gets get some gear and get a chance to play some fuckin puck. Everyone should get a chance to play whatever sport they enjoy. It sucks that hockey is kind of inherintely expensive to play because of the gear, but I don't think it has to be that way. I think a lot of gear gets overpriced anyway just because a certain company manufactures it, and I don't think that's right on any kind of moral level, but that is how capitalism works. Ultimately we have to start by trying to get more programs going that support kids getting into hockey.

[@bartsimpson6708]

I once saw Phil after he had fasted for 72 hours and he looked 30 lbs lighter. So he is just retaining a lot of water usually

[@johngallagher72]

I liked Liles game. He wasn't the worst leaf Dman I've ever seen. Carlyle and Burke though wanted a goon squad.

[@tomwhiteside1779]

They had a goon squad. The first year we made the playoffs in 2013 we had Mark Fraser, Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren all on our team, thats three well respected heavyweights. plus adding Phaneuf, Kadri, Mike Brown, Komarov and Clarkson's styles all between 2010-2014 we had some of the toughest teams in that era. Fun to watch

[@johngallagher72]

@@tomwhiteside1779 totally agree ..that 2013 beat em in the alley team will always have a very soft spot in my heart. My mom passed away Feb 2013 so obviously that was a very difficult time. But I found that even during this period I could still learn to have fun again and watching them especially McLaren, Brown and Fraser beat teams in the alley, along with a trip I took to New York in June were big parts of my grief healing during this time. 👍

[@Outta-hz1ej]

Ehh he was kinda small and didn't have much of a presence. I didn't hate him but I certainly don't miss him

[@JS-uu5bi]

please get Phil on

[@johngallagher72]

If they take away my Coke ..I'll quit watching these clips.

[@DylanSparks99]

I might be the only one but I think I would be pretty pissed if I was traded right before a game, and to make matters worse, in the middle of warm-ups. Especially for a game like the winter classic. I get that its not like winning the Stanley Cup but to get all the way there and be traded just before hitting the ice that would be annoying. Not many people get the opportunity to play a game like that, I would think that would be a pretty significant moment for some players just to have it ripped from you

[@marionordqvist1668]

As a Leaf fan, hearing these guys whine and complain about having diets and discipline as professional athletes…and knowing that they ended up being downy soft and failed in Toronto…makes me super annoyed. Seems like a nice guy, but not somebody I want in my corner when the going gets tough…proof is in the pudding.

[@KashSheikh786]

From the sounds of it, Randy Carlyle was a disciplined coach, I don’t find anything wrong with that, it’s more positive to me than negative

[@zalapski9399]

Being a disciplined hard ass coach works if: 1) The players know you love and respect them, are honest with them, and have a good reason for your rules. If they think you’re a phony who has nonsensical rules, that don’t add to the success of the team, but they’re just rules to create empty authority, the players won’t play hard for you. This goes for youth hockey all the way to pros. 2) You win.

[@KashSheikh786]

@@zalapski9399 i agree. To me it seems like his intentions were right even if they came across as strict. He won a cup in Anaheim albeit with a very well constructed roster

[@zalapski9399]

@@KashSheikh786 36 beers on the plane seems kind of arbitrary and stupid. If he wanted zero booze on team flights, like maybe if they have back to backs, then I can understand that (alcohol absolutely terrible for athletic performance). But limiting to 36 seems like a weird power move. Also if you’re gonna not allow unhealthy snacks but you yourself eating crap then that shows zero discipline on the part of Carlyle and strips credibility. Even though the coaches aren’t playing the game, crap food still hinders performance (brain function, energy, etc). Good players know when a coach’s tactics work, and when a team wins in spite of an idiot coach. Even if the player hates said coach, they can still respect their methods. I’m not saying Carlyle is 1 way or the other I don’t have a read on him.
