nuckin_futz Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Canucks trying to identify fan who threw hot dog towards Phil Kessel Phil Kessel is still on the receiving end of hot dog jokes all these years later. (Getty) Despite being a two-time Stanley Cup champion and current holder of the NHL’s ironman streak with almost 1,000 consecutive games played, Phil Kessel might be better known in some hockey circles as the NHL superstar with a fabricated soft spot for fast food. During the Arizona Coyotes’ 7-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks last Thursday at Rogers Arena, Kessel was reminded of his supposed fascination with the tasty snack when a Canucks fan filmed himself throwing a hot dog on the ice for the star forward. The TikTok made by user _thomascon, since deleted, shows the fan buying a hot dog from an arena vendor, walking up to the glass and launching it onto the ice during a break in play. The Canucks organization and arena staff are working to identify the fan, according to the Daily Hive. “What he did was completely disrespectful and not welcome at Rogers Arena. We won’t stand for it and are in the process of identifying this guy and determining what our next steps will be,” a Canucks spokesperson told the Daily Hive. Kessel’s reputation for enjoying the occasional hot dog originated from a story from Toronto Sun reporter Steve Simmons in 2015, following the 34-year-old’s trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the report, Simmons alleged that Kessel would frequent a hot dog vendor near his Toronto home on a daily basis, a claim that was denounced at the time and has since been debunked. The Madison, Wisconsin native eventually poked fun at the rumour, posing with a handful of hot dogs sitting in the Stanley Cup on a golf course following his second consecutive championship win with the Penguins in 2017.

Coconuts Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) If he was gonna be a dick he should have at least thrown milk on the ice too smh Edited April 18, 2022 by Coconuts 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Quite the dumbarse thing to do. Mix bad decision making with too much booze and this is what happens. Aside from this individual being a goof the only missing is an inward look with arena staff themselves to determine if they oversold the booze a bit to this individual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Doubt they’ll have much trouble tracking this guy down. He’s definitely not hiding. Looks like he has around five different TikTok accounts that are still public with a bunch of videos showing him, his home, various family members, etc. And even that “deleted” TikTok is still up. Just got moved over to one of his alts. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLqVExVJ/ Edited April 19, 2022 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Why would you even want to do this? Kessel's one of the most likeable guys in the sport with his sense of humour and his successful battle with cancer. Waste of a perfectly good hotdog. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 That hotdog probably cost over 7 bucks and the idiot threw it on the ice. I imagine that is that guy's last game watching live canuck hockey in Vancouver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Does this really require this level of investigation. Has the statute of limitations expired on all the octopus throwers in Detroit? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
