Glad Kes is finally getting some respect, guy was an absolute mutant. One of the best shutdown centres in the salary cap era.

Then he’d go out and score a goal or two

@@ratus7538 really eh i never would have thought of him like that i dont see him play much. He have a mean streak?

[@scottelement]

Kesler was a warrior in Vancouver. 29 other fan bases hated the guy but you’d have loved him if he played for you. Sure wish we had him in Van now. What he did vs Nashville in 2011 was legendary.

[@ssmith87]

Man did i love watching Ryan Kesler..great interview

[@danielbuss2919]

Xhekaj was bullying players in the Memorial Cup. Figured he would eventually make it to the NHL. Never thought it would be 4 months later. Good for him, he's a beast.

[@JHockeyFan]

Surprised Logan Morrison of that Hamilton team wasn't drafted and hasn't been signed yet. Kid dummied the O last season. Hopefully he gets a pro deal soon.

[@JM-gj7de]

"If you lose the draw, make'm pay!" - Ryan Kesler

[@Mikeychance]

Was in high school during our cup run. Kes was a guy this city would go through a brick wall for, hope he knows that.

[@jvice7]

2:15:25 is an example lmfao

[@ontheicehockey]

Love Kes, happy he's doing alright. Wish the Ducks had a guy like him these days.

[@jesseshelton7207]

Unreal interview. Crushed as usual

[@benlee7864]

I wish they had talked more about his time in Anaheim.

[@matthewgood72]

1:04:50 "Mogilny, Roenic or Brindamour who you going with PK?" 😂😂

Not sure if I’ve ever heard Kes speak until I watched this, but he’s hilarious. Absolute beauty

My fav interview yet, Kesler is an absolute beauty

[@uknothavibes5271]

Favourite playing growing up, unreal in the Olympics too

[@afhyoutube]

Whit has the legit casting couch in his office.

[@kellyZ93]

This an all time pod! Thanks boys 🤙🏻

[@LDJ89]

I was/am a massive Kesler fan. Guy was an absolute warrior for us in Vancouver. Wish he could have retired a Nuck but am thankful for the time he did spend here.

[@motron1845]

I was at the game Kesler talks about at 1:38:15 It was fucking amazing. The team was never the same after that. They went from a seven game losing streak to being one of the top teams in the league the second Burr scored that short handed goal.

[@matth268]

As a bruins fan my favorite player on a different team was Ryan Kessler. Man was a beast.

[@Roachmate]

Love Kes coming to Anaheim, watching him and the boys at Honda Center are great memories. Wish 2016 we got over the hump and landed in the Stanley we had a good roster that was hit with injuries late. Stocked for the house visit and A MUST for a sandbagger episode with Kes and Bieska!!!

[@josepheisenkrein7153]

I hated Kesler when he played but fuck there's not much I wouldn't give up to have a guy like that on my team. Loved the interview great job boys !

[@warrick7689]

Everyone hates players like Kesler till they're on their team. Was such good hockey

Kes, burr and juice were my favourite players for though’s years they were there

Kes was my favorite when he was with the Ducks, wish him nothing but the best he really gave it his all every night

[@splatman0054]

you guys didnt even get kes at his best. loved him in van was sad to see him go! he was a complete mutant out there

[@ashlynhoop2294]

Same here. I used to dislike him. Until I actually watched him play when he was in Anaheim. And absolutely loved him and Perry ( Ducks Fan )

[@hendrikoberholzer1765]

People thought Biz looked stoned on the last one haha even more this episode. Love how he said septums, like we have two of them. Kes is a beauty as per usual. As a Canucks fan, miss his style of play. Definitely something the Canucks have been missing.

[@ColGesso]

Kesler was a hell of a hockey player. Gave it all every night, played with passion and hatred, I loved it.

[@JMH323]

Ryan Kesler is a Blessing

What a great interview! I remember Kes in his prime in Vancouver watching live... The stride and the speed..damn he was fast and skilled.. cool guy

Kesler held it down In Vancouver. Next jersey to retire here. It was him & the Sedins. Still have his jersey’s framed 💯

[@mrgreekgm754]

Not a chance. Ring of honour is one thing but 17 being retired your OUT OF YOUR MIND!

[@lannon4prez]

I loved kes as a 3rd/4th liner. Later on himand burrows in 2008 or 2009 (around that time) was a very under rated line.

[@anthonycapunay9141]

Biz looks so baked the entire episode 🤣

[@jwright-hi6tf]

Dunno if it’s the Guzzler origin story, but there’s an interview where an American broadcast crew mistakes Bieksa for Kesler, and he does the full interview as Kes. Guy asks Kev his nickname and he goes “Guzzler” 😂😂😂

Used to work at Sewickley Heights Golf Club… Can’t wait to see that sandbagger!

[@ericmyers3561]

I hated Kesler when he was an NHL player for many reasons. I was a Flames fan. Now after watching this interview I am convinced that I hate him as a person. Egomaniac with a tendency to exaggerate his own importance . Fought with his own teammates and coaches FFS.

Boys: The JT Miller Pumpkin Patch story has already been debunked by JT/The Athletic. ….Why are you guys reporting on Reddit gossip? lol

[@tracyhall6195]

I wear my Kesler 17 jersey to Anaheim Ducks games nowadays, and the home fans always say... "Remember that guy ?" .."What a Beast he was". ... "We've never had another nasty leader like Kes was" . . and we haven't. 😮‍💨 ...# Slim Softees Ruling The Nest

[@lorigoldsmith6760]

Imagine how irritating it would be to play against Corey Perry and Ryan Kessler. I love how much everyone hated them and I'm pretty sure they loved it more lol

[@dpgerais2592]

On that series against Nashville, Kesler was the best player in the world. Vancouver would of won the Cup if he stayed healthy.

[@MegaRyan59]

As a life long Leafs fan, listening to them talk about the Keefe comments, made me realize this team is fucked. Not a winning culture. Marner was super defensive in his interview with the media, and Keefe didn't say anything bad or wrong. Fucking brutal.

[@Dylandontplay]

It's fucking embarrassing lmao

[@HavanaSam]

"Iginla, he hated playing against me... Johnny is happy I'm not in the league anymore, let me tell ya..." Easy there. Max Domi wishes you were still around.

[@ethanparker7900]

easy there captain selfish like relax

[@AndrewTannerMusic]

I know this interview was 3 months ago but RA needs to go see a massage therapist. His piriformis muscle(one of 6 lateral hip rotator muscles) underneath his glutes is impinging on and pinching that sciatic nerve and that's why it's shooting nerve pain down his leg. I help relieve clients with this specific issue all the time. A quality Massage Therapist is essential. If anyone is in northern Virginia, my massage clinic is called Tranquil Motion Therapeutic Massage. I work on tons of athletes, hockey players, tennis players, golfers, weightlifters, etc...(but not limited to) doing injury rehabilitation and chronic pain management.

Kesler still left Vancouver in a shitty way. He's not innocent there.

They had to re-sign Husso thats why it was just a 3rd

[@randy5391]

Ahahahaha little TR coming out if biz with the piss and vinegar love it!!!

[@Ottotherepoman1]

Ray Whitney you are totally right, the canuck fans at the game are 100 percent toxic crybabies. I would be honoured to just run into jt miller or any of the other canucks, regular people have no idea how hard players work, and the physical punishment they endure. I met dave reid (bruins, leafs, stars, avalanche) in the early 90s he lived near me. first off, as a leafs fan its my duty to fawkin hate on the bruins. Never once entered my head to rag on him for being a bruin, or critisizing his leaf play. The guys legs were a mass of scars, and he lived in a modest 2500 square foot house. I won't say where, to preserve his privacy, but it was nice, but nothing special. These guys give it there all, and deserve our respect.

[@nicholasazak5653]

Haha as a Canucks fan, I can agree this fan base friggin sucks sometimes

[@XDisintegrationX]

You don’t need a spreadsheet to see the devils outshooting every single opponent 2-1 win or lose.

[@chrisdranfield3828]

It was more then the lying to the fans as to why they were upset with Kes. He handcuffed the organization by demanding a trade and saying the only team he would go to is Anaheim reducing what they were willing to give the Canucks as a return. So instead of the rumoured shea Theodore being a piece coming back we got Luca sbisa

[@ifubuildit]

RA is still on the pod???

[@Hockeykid6767]

Buffalo needs to find a #1 goalie and they’re set then maybe add a fighter to protect these kids

[@charleybarley7148]

!:51 Kesler is right. He had every right to sign that offer sheet. The organization didn't think he was worth $200,000 more? Of course they did. They didn't want to give up the dough. Good on him.
