Another win without Kesler, whats our record without him?

And decisive too at that

It would be great if he could pass once in while then he would be perfect

Commonly occurs throughout the league. A top player goes down to injury and the team rallies and ends up playing better. Ottawa won 5 straight after Karlsson, the best dman in the league, went out.

When the playoffs come around and Kesler is out, you'll see the real damage.

We will even be better if Booth is not playing as well.

We will even be better if Booth is not playing as well.

We had a 6-game winning streak before Kesler came back.

As soon as he comes back, we break the streak and start a LOSING STREAK.

What has changed since the winning streak to the losing streak? Kesler. The guy hasn't played with the team for MONTHS and then all of a sudden they throw him in and upsets the balance.

There is no other explanation.

I have said this many times but how the canucks treated Manny probably have something to do with the current slump. Players probably felt less motivated to play for a team who didn't stand by its players.
