Ugh. Kesler.

6 points in 48 games and -21. No ugh required. Just pity. Maybe.

Who cares?  

If you’d taken the time to read the post I was responding to you’d have seen the poster said DePietro was the smallest goalie he’d ever seen at the NHL level.  I was pointing out that there have been much smaller goalies in league (though that’s largely in the past). Thanks for your useless contribution though. 

[Elias Pettersson]

Does anybody else other than me want to see Zack go after Kesler?  Would be the highlight of the night...

I’ll give him credit in that he is obviously “playing through the pain.”

Get real. Why would a kid who has played 1 game go after a guy who has played 1,000?

6 points in 48 games IS early retirement.

Canucks don't tend to have much luck leaving in order to 'win a championship'....

 

Ehrhoff

Kesler

 

I guess they hadn't earned it?

Virtanen with Horvat. Nice. I didn't get to see the SJ game so I'm excited to finally get a look at Zack MacEwen. Can't wait for this game to start.

Hey guys. I’m a little confused here. Do we know who is in net tonight?

The Ducks have nearly 24 million tied up in Getzlaf, Perry and Kesler - with 2 and 3 years of term remaining after this season.

 

Getzlaf has 36 pts - which would be 4th on this low scoring team.

Kesler has 6 in 48.

And Perry has 1 in 5, after declining to 49 pts last year....

 

That's pretty ugly.

The price to dump Kesler may be as high as it was to acquire him in the first place.   Lose lose.

 

I kinda feel better about LE's contract at this point.

Thanks, Kes.
