babych Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Probably doesn't need it's own thread, but I thought this was pretty funny, especially how he "out-hustles" Calgary's D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwags Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Good on Kesler. He was just making sure the Flames didn't score on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelar Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Good on Wideman for filling in that Dbag. So glad he is not in Vancouver anymore. Nice to see others fighting his battles as well. Typical Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 He put the puck in an empty net after the whistle?! What a sick, classless bastard! Am I the only one who doesn't see much wrong in this? Or are you still too bitter about the way he left Vancouver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Maybe if Cgy put out as much effort during the game they wouldn't have had to jump a guy after it was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting the puck in an empty net after the whistle has long been against 'the code'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What Kesler did doesn't really bother me that much. It might be a bit of a slap to the face but who cares? The Ducks are massively underachieving and having a miserable season. At least they are showing some emotion. I like the response from the Flames too, for that matter. Nice to see a little excitement in a game once and a while since we haven't seen much of it from our own team lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little cheeky yeah, but as long as players aren't firing on the goalie after the whistle it doesn't really grind my gears in most situations.

Yeah, its one of those things where the act itself is kind of like 'so what', but at the same time, because of the history/culture of the game, a certain response is expected. You don't want to be on the news the next morning where everyone is talking about how you didn't respond to a disrespectful act against your team. If Calgary doesn't get fired up after that shot, they'd be called soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Calgary doesn't get fired up after that shot, they'd be called soft. Completely agree with you on all points. Kes didn't prove anything by doing that, and if say Getz broke his hand in that post whistle fight his play would have been even more pointless. He just did it to goad the Flames, and maybe out of frustration. Maybe I'll tune into the next game to see if any of the excitement carries forward.

Not a lot different (so long as the goalie isn't there) than shooting the puck in the opponents net after a warm up (which Bartkowski does), or standing on the center logo or anything else. Not really respectful, but hardly worth getting that worked up about either. The bump after is fine by me too, but I think what Wideman does (feeding Kesler punches while Brodie, another Flame and the linesman have Kesler tied up) is far worse.

ForsbergTheGreat Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's a sign of disrespect and a sign of pride for your team to stand up to someone in a situation like that. Pucks don't belong in your net, so when someone takes advantage of that after the whistle, he's going to get something done to him. It's also similar to when a team is getting blown out and a player starts to show boat. No need to jam that dagger in further after a loss. Kesler is an idiot and if it was the other way around he would have done the same thing. You also don't step on your logo in the team dressing room, you never let your jersey touch the ground.

MJDDawg Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This is what happened after the pre-game warm up between Corey Perry and Jiri Hudler. They only show a bit of the clip here but this was going on for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Monahan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Seems stupid on the surface but like DBTR said, it's just part of the code- sorta like running across a pitcher's mound in baseball. To the casual or uneducated fan it's not a big deal but it's gonna piss somebody off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
