-DLC- Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I never boo players, just find it kind of pointless and wasted energy. It usually does fire them up more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Heard on tsn Canuck radio thing. Some highlights "If they boo me it'll fire me up more" "Media was hard on him but fair" Thats the 2 things I remember. Also remember him talking about the trade and he made it seem like it was a mutual thing that both partys thought a trade would be good and said it was difficult to waive ntc which i thought was funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Listened to the interview. Very good spirits and genuinely nice. Will always be my favourite Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whale Tail Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 From what I caught. He said it was strange going into the opposite dressing room Seeing the hallway to his old lockers brought back good memories And when asked about the welcome he may get he responded saying something along the lines of that he hopes people remember the effort and good times he spent with the Canucks but if he gets booed he said that's how it goes Was nervous being a new guy for the first time in the locker room but the duck's players brought him in and made him feel welcomed. Happy with the leadership, staff etc He did say wants to get the 2 points and get out of here, But I think that can be blown out of proportion with incorrect context Missed the rest of the interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treavie Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 As much as Kesler did add to his own demise, his play here throughout his career should not warrant any booing. I understand that you paid for your ticket (most likely just given to you in Vancouver), and you figure you should be able to boo... but he was traded. Sure, some people say that he demanded a trade, he was creating animosity in the room. That is up to staff and management to address and they couldnt do it properly, so they traded him. He did not sign somewhere for less, he did not publicy try to do anything negative to this team. Boo if you want, I will be yelling at you to shutup. You go win the Selke and drop 40.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 When he first arrives in, it will be like seeing old friends. Some claps and appreciation of what he did. But once that puck drops, he is an enemy. kes knows that, fans know that, both teams know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Its pointless to boo. But the fans here will do it anyways.The best thing by far would be to beat them again.Booing kind of makes people look like 15 year old boys, who just found out the girl he likes, is dating someone else. Then act like a baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 He did say wants to get the 2 points and get out of here, But I think that can be blown out of proportion with incorrect Yeah, very much out of context. Referring to the team getting two points from the game. Absolutely no attitude or anything of note to take from that quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Heard on tsn Canuck radio thing.

Also remember him talking about the trade and he made it seem like it was a mutual thing that both partys thought a trade would be good and said it was difficult to waive ntc which i thought was funny “If they boo me, it’ll probably jack me up even more,” I guess we as Canucks fans should have booed him when he was a Canuck - maybe he would have scored some goals against Boston in 2011.

nuck nit Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's a job. He changed cities where he works. Same organization. Same pay. Probably better tax benefits. Worked hard here and that is what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whale Tail Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ya he sounded pretty humble during the interview. At the end of the day, The Trade happened and both teams seem pretty happy with the trade so far. Bonino has been amazing for us. His Cap is awesome. Before the injury Sbia was just starting to get more confident and since he has been gone, you can notice it. A big D using his body. MCcann dropping down to us was great. Very excited to see what he can do in a few years. I think Kesler has found some teammates that compliment his style of play as well. A couple of the Ducks games Ive checked in on, He has been exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks Kesler addressing media in Vancouver. "It's a little awkward, but walking by the locker room brought good memories." Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks "I was roommates with Bieksa for 8 years, that creates a strong bond. We're friends off the ice, but enemies on the ice now." - Kesler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no denying how hard he played for the Canucks over the years, I will always respect him for that and I'll never forget how he played in the Canucks jersey. That being said I'll also never forget how he left. He hung his teamates out to dry, the city of Vancouver and the organization when he asked out and only gave a list of 2 teams, one of which had no cap room to do anything leaving the Canucks one option. Bravo to Benning for getting what he did, but I have every right to boo a player that put himself before the teamates he played with for a decade and an organization that developed him into what he is today. I can sum Ryan Kesler up with one word SELFISH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I am going to to this game and will be cheering for him when they announce his name. He was a heart and soul player and left it all on the ice every night. This fan base has a prowess for hating their best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Category Canucks, NHL News Ryan Kesler will be making his return to Vancouver Thursday when the Canucks host the Anaheim Ducks. Kesler spoke at a press conference in regards to his return to the city. Kesler spent 11 years with the Canucks franchise, but he’s aware that there’s a chance he might be booed, however Kesler issued a bit of a warning to Canucks fans in that regard. “If they boo me, it’ll probably jack me up even more,” It’s not like Kesler was hoping for a negative reaction from the fans, on the contrary, Kesler is hoping that fans in Vancouver will focus on the positives form his 11 yearswith the team, and not the negative atmosphere that surrounded his trade demands: “Hopefully they appreciated the 11 years that I played here and remember all the good times,” I can’t speak for all Canucks fans, but the fact that Kesler was so toxic when the team needed him most has left a bitter taste in my mouth, I don’t think I’ll be welcoming him back with cheers. http://www.canucksfeed.com/ryan-kesler-gives-canucks-fans-warning-tonights-game/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I can't hate Kesler he was warrior, he gave everything he had on the ice. How can people discredit that? Ya he left, but look around, it was best for both sides. Why be mad about that? Why can't we show some class for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
