*Buzzsaw* Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Anyone noticed the number of times Kesler is fanning on shots this year? Against Carolina he must have fanned 4 times on good opportunities. Usually when someone is doing this so consistently, it is a result of the player using a stick which is either a little too short or a little too long. From the way Kesler is stickhandling, which also seems to be a little clumsier than usual, I think he has a stick which is an inch or two long. I think Kesler would be wise to talk to someone about his stick length. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think he just had a off night. Nothing to be worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think he could stand to pass a little more. He's a one man show out there. If the puck is on his stick, he ain't passing it. Not sure if it's a function of stick length or, as others have said, his ego... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's a function of stick length or, as others have said, his ego... Ex: Tonight he had a two on one with Santorelli, didn't even look to see if another player was there. Peters knew he was going to shoot all the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 No question he could pass the puck more... but having a stick which is the right length might make that easier too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think he could stand to pass a little more. He's a one man show out there. If the puck is on his stick, he ain't passing it. Not sure if it's a function of stick length or, as others have said, his ego... One thing that's pretty notable when he struggles - he squeezes his stick and forces it. Tonight when he fired the puck high and wide on a 2 on 1 might be a prime example - when he's having a good game, he probably sets up Santorelli on that rush, not that it was a bad decision to shoot - but when he's not feeling it, he seems to go into some kind of 'determination bubble' that doesn't really work for him. He's been so good lately that one game obviously isn't much to be concerned about, but that does seem to be a strong tendency of his, that if he can put behind him, could take him to the next level as a player imo.

Absent Canuck Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I guess you guys have to serve up a Kesler hating troll thread. The guy is 9th in the league in goals and basically does everything out there. can't you just be happy about the win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Kesler is an interesting contrast... Defensively he plays extremely unselfishly... sacrificing his body and doing everything for the team. Offensively he is a puck hog, and will shoot every time he gets an opportunity, even if the chance isn't that good. The good news is that he has a wicked wrister if he can actually get the shot off and can beat any goalie in the league when he has some juice behind the shot. All in all he balances out as an extremely valuable player. Anyway, this thread is about him fanning on the puck, which he is doing all the time this year, not just tonight.

Absent Canuck Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Or he could stop trying to force shots when outnumbered to hell... I have thought about that and when I see him do it I dont know what else he would do with it. Its usually 1 on 1 or even 2 on 2 in tight. I would like him to work on getting the shot THROUGH instead of getting it blocked all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if he scored the overtime winner against Luongo in 2010? They'd both be traded out of Dodge. He is , was and always will be a d-bag, trade his butt for a good Canadian kid.
