Looks like kessel and the leafs are embarrassing themselves again. Though teammates were laughing about it later. And it does show they still care a little bit.

BananaMash Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 This is easily the funniest part: Since February, Booth has out-produced Kessel in both goals and points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've seen Kessel 'fight'... Are Booth's legs still attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 David Booth is scratching and clawing to earn another contract and stay in the league. Kessel is sitting his fat @ss on his $64-million contract, and "exhibit A" of the team packing it in and making it even harder for Booth. I don't blame him for wanting to fist-Phil his fat face a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awalk Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Men fight, it happens (although I use the term "men" loosely with Phil Kessel ; ) ) it always strengthens the bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucktican Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Booth probably pointed out that he is outplaying Kessel while making 1/8 of his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Kessel, Booth in altercation at Leafs' practice It appears tensions ran high for the Toronto Maple Leafs at practice on Friday morning. Wingers Phil Kessel and David Booth got into an altercation during their morning skate and had to be broken up. “It happens. Guys get frustrated all year. I think that was just a drill that promoted competition. It’s actually good to see that. Hopefully we can take some of that competitive nature into the game tomorrow," said Booth after practice. “It’s the game of hockey, stuff like that is bound to happen. I don’t think it’s a big deal at all, but obviously when it happens here it might create a little bit of a ruckus.” Booth was asked if Kessel was the one who started the altercation. “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask him. I’m sure you’ll get a better story out of that than me," he said. Booth said the last time he was in a dust up with a teammate during practice was in college, but never in the NHL. Captain Dion Phaneuf, who says he remembers more altercations with teammates from his junior hockey days, brushed off the scrap as something that happens all the time. “We’re competitive guys and sometimes tempers flare and emotions boil over but to be completely honest with you there’s nothing more to it than a little bit of a skirmish or scrum, whatever you want to call it, but that’s part of competing in practice and sometimes that happens," Phaneuf said. "It’s not the last time you’re going to see it.” He also dispelled any notion of lingering anomosity between Kessel and Booth. “Phil’s a competitive guy, so is Boother. They’re both working hard," he said. "Boother is killing a penalty at that point and we’re trying to work on the power play and sometimes those things happen. There’s nothing more to it than a little bit of a scrum and now it’s done.” The Leafs have lost seven straight games and are back in action on Saturday night when they host the Ottawa Senators. Practice fight: Booth-Kessel going at it ... wow — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) March 27, 2015 Booth-Kessel go at it in practice... no punches but lots of pushing — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) March 27, 2015 Booth unsure what set off Kessel ... laughs off dust-up... Phil not going to speak to media today — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) March 27, 2015 "It was actually good to see that," Booth says of the competitive fire in his joust with Kessel. — Jonas Siegel (@jonasTSN1050) March 27, 2015 That's terrible!!

Spoosh Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't think it was that much of an embarrassment for them. You need to do something to get going and they've done so much else that qualifies as embarrassing this year that this news will fade pretty quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've seen Kessel 'fight'... Are Booth's legs still attached? Guys, with baseball coming up Phil's just warming up his batting swing... then again is he fit enough to run the 90 feet to 1st? EDIT: Guys, with golf season coming up Phil's just warming up his driving swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Oh...how long will Booth be out for? no doubt he tore his ACL had an abdominal strain and then contracted a runny nose during the "incident" This will surely hamper the Leafs playoff chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
