Would you like to see Kesler in the Ring of Honour?

Perhaps you should've chosen one that was actually a dive to put on the first page then.. 

By that time, he was on the list as a diver.

So you want both?

I don’t know if either should be up there or not. But luongo would be more deserving then Kesler

Luongo was the best goaltender this franchise has ever had and have since discovered the details of what makes an elite goaltender elite, following Luongo by Miller and developing Markstrom and Demko into top notch goaltenders for potentially the next decade.

 

Luongo changed the game in Vancouver.

 

He is the epitome of who should be up in the ROH. 
 

Kesler not so much.

Lu and Kes stabbed the Canucks in the back on their way out. Lu's still stabbing. I don';t buy Kesler back-tracking, only saying that because his career's over and he's won nothing.

 

Get Bieksa and maybe Salo in the Ring and leave it at that for the 2011 team. 

 

D. Sedin - Retire #

H. Sedin - Retire #

Burrows - RoH

Bieksa - RoH

Salo - RoH

No ROH team player demands a trade and gives only two possible destinations to be traded to, screwing the GM’s ability to get equal value.

Kes was a great player in Canucks, but I do not vote him for the ring due to the reasons of his leaving. He should select his career for his own direction, but Canucks should select give the ring to whom.

Burrrows is one I respect, and vote for the ring.

Lu should get the ring, but not Canucks. It should be given by his current team.

The next player we give the ring to be Bieska or Edler.

I am against Lou on Ring of Honour because of retirement instead of LTIR, but he is still my favourite Canucks goalie.

Let's make a ring of average players and put everyone on it!

[D.B Cooper]

Nope.  A couple good seasons doesn’t mean you go up there.  
Look at who is up there now.   Kesler doesn’t belong.

Didn’t know 40 goal Selke winners were average players.

That boy played his heart and soul out for this team while he was here and I'll always remember and respect him as a Canuck player for that. 

 

But then he could see the writing on the wall and left when the going got a bit tough. I don't begrudge him leaving for greener pastures (it was what needed to happen anyway) and even that (dare I say, bordering on 'quitter attitude'?) alone wouldn't likely have been enough to tarnish what he'd done here, if he'd had the balls to leave honorably. But he flat out lied to the fan base and tied his GM's hands on getting anything resembling a decent return. Just be honest to the fans and let the team and city that gave you millions of dollars, an adoring fan base etc a semi-fair chance at recouping assets. Is that so hard?

 

So basically a big FU on his way out. He burned those bridges all on his own (maybe with his agent's help?). And it frankly pisses me off when fans get blamed for their 'lack of understanding and appreciation' with him given those facts. He made the bed. He can lie in it.

 

That (lying quitter that handcuffs the team - sorry, that's the optics) bed's a long way from any ROH circle.

He's a 20-25 goal scorer with a career season of 41 goals mixed in. He won a Selke once.

 

This thread is classic case of people wanting to reward every accomplishment. Like giving out 12th place ribbons for participation. Kesler was a good player for this team but that's it.

That one year.

 

2010-2011

 

Like a one-time hit singer.

 

Except the poor poor man found himself on ice and lost his dream of diving; at fault a frozen pond.

 

He asked for a trade to another pond, only to dive again and find it frozen once more.

 

Oh friend. I feel for Diver Kesler, who could not find a melted pond.

OK but I just don't see how that first video could be a dive in any way (pretty sure he took a huge chop on this right skate from that Det player)... Which shows that once someone is on the "list", people become biased into thinking that every time that player takes a spill, they are diving. Point proven if you really believe he purposefully flopped onto his side in that video.

Me has always been biased against Kesler for some reason. Best to not waste your time.

If he ever plays again, can we please stop booing him? I wan't happy about how he left either, but we have to move on. He was excellent when he played here

I think he was a Selke finalist five times.  You can pick apart his achievements and character, but his Selke credentials are pretty much beyond reproach.

Like that 1994 team that we keep celebrating? I've never seen a franchise celebrate a losing team this much as if they won the cup.
