jovocop55 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 he can be great if he would stop diving or go down easy on every play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 seriously we should make a KEsler fall down count thread like the one mason raymond has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Kesler will probably get his legs going and be better eventually, but CDC after a loss will never change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 You can't ignore that he won the Selke and scored 40 goals. Not many players in the league score 40 goals - esp in the Western conference. Will he score that many again? Who knows. But there's no question he has to find his game again, both defensivly and offensively. He has the 2nd highest cap hit of all forwards, they pay him to be an all around player. I haven't seen him play a consistent all around game since 2010-11. Yes, he was injured. Join the club, how many Canucks were injured after the Cup finals run and played injured the next yr. But my biggest concern with Kesler is his embellishing. It's out of control IMO. I would suggest there is a larger trend of embellishing in the league - particularly this season. But the Canucks have a reputation (deservedly or not) with the officials for it, and his leg/arm/head throws on the ice don't help his team. It's killing the team. Killing them, they are NOT getting the calls. He has to stop it, someone on the team/management has to talk to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzipunch Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Lets all forget his 40 goal season Lets all forget his multiple 70 point season Lets all forget he doesnt play on the first line Lets all forget he signed for 2.5 mill less than he woulda gotten from other teams Lets just forget that we became a dominate team in this league when he became better than everone thought he was going to be Shame on all of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 in 2011 kesler was the main reason we beat Chicago as well. He tirelessly kept the Hawks best players off the scoresheet. In SJ I tied the game that got us to OT (that we won to get to the finals) on one leg. He's okay and I would never lose him without a great return coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He still hasn`t been the same since his groin injury. This is the stuff that scares me. Naslund was never really the same since the Moore injury. Bertuzzi, suffered a back injury near the end of the 2003 season. Was never the same either. Kesler is slacking right now. Maybe its early for him. Very early, but I hope we see the 2011, maybe not that, even the 2010 or 2009 version of him, will be a huge boost. He is a very important player for us, one of the most important player, and it was his groin injury that prevented beast mode Kesler in the STanley cup finals.

Bertorama Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I remember when we traded Linden away and when the oilers Traded Smyth. There are certain players you just shouldn't trade. They are Canuck or team identity material only. Kesler has the potential to be that guy. I almost rather see him with the C. It would put him in the mind set you all want him to be in.

Burr's bandwagon Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Kesler is a diver. One of the best at it too. That, or he has a harder time than Raymond istaying on his skates. NYI Kesler Schneider 1st VAN Tavares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee goren rulez69 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 thats the biggest rip off i've ever heard. No way would I make that trade.. I can't believe the amount of negativity on these boards. We have one bad loss and a bunch of bandwagons blows up and make up ridiculous trade propose and say fire AV.. Please leave and go be fans of another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler's Nose Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 lol He just came back after a serious injury... Give him a chance to return to form. Last season was sub par for him, yes. But don't go all jumping the gun because of a loss to Detroit, brutal loss yes.. But let's move on, regroup and get ready for next game. Simple as that! I'm surprised people aren't going in on Lu, guess I prefer Kes for a change. Better believe he'll step it up and own up to the criticism though, so don't hang on to those words for too long!

ronningsback Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Am I the only one in the world who can recognize that he is a "winger" not a "centre" - put him along the boards where he belongs and put a creative centre with him.....you know, someone who actually can vary his pace, pass the puck....oh yes, and not keep on diving!! Its embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I wasn't even going to comment on this,until I saw our record posted again as an argument, (I still wont respond directly to the post) #1- Not sure this is an argument to be made,as Kesler wasn't in many of those games and whether its 10-4-4 or 10-8 as others mention, #2 - I wish people would quit stating that, With only 1 outright win against a playoff Team from last year, and that was the 1-0 game against Nashville. , only 1 win is cause for some concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
