Phil Kessel Sucks Forum

Reply-to:If Kessel is to ever be considered an elite player in the NHL, he has GOT to improve on the PP. The guys panics like a bag of nerves. He has no creativity or puck sense, and always rushes his decisions - so they usually turn out bad. Watch him on the left point on the PP - he will always either throw the puck to the low post (nearest team mate), or throw a low percentage shot at the net, with his feet shuffling nervously. The guy needs to gain enough self confidence to actually take a deep breath, stop moving his feet, slow the play down (the way Gretzky used to), look around, and actually make a smart decision rather than forcing an ill conceived play out of sheer panic. The guy is way too easy to read, and definitely not a team player. If he was, hed be more concerned about his extremely low goals to shots ratio.

I'm glad to see Phil Kessel made the All Star Game, it may not have been the way Me and Leaf Nation wanted. But sometimes just going can make a player work harder to show all the fans, just why they belong as a starter for next year!

Phil Kessel's goal tonight against the Lightning was great, I'm sure glad he's with the Leafs, and not the Bruins. Sure, he has areas to improve on, but don't all sports stars! Thank you, Boston for giving up such a great and talented player, who keeps giving us fans reason to cheer and be glad to root for the Leafs!

I think Phil is the best player on the team, it's no wonder why Phil "The Thrill" Kessel will make the All Star Team!

He's got speed.

Can't hit. Can't pass. Can't play D. Can't shoot. Can't hit the net. Loves to giveaway the puck

Reply-to:Kessel isint shit.. hes a young kid full of talent and has the ptential of being the best American born player{apart from Kane}.  He can easily be a 50 goal scorer if he has a playmaker{not stajan}.  He has many weak spots as well.  He is a little too much of a puck hog but thatll change when someone like Kadri feeds him the puck.  Im a die-hard LEAF fan who feels Kessel needs HELP{Bozak is good for temporary games}

Here we go again!!! Kessels GARBAGE and why is it that the die hard Leaf fans are the last to know about it. Are you watching this clown on the ice? Do you not see him hangging the team out to dry just for him self? Why does this BIRD Kessel get's a free pass by "die hard Leaf fans"? Phaneuf was boooed after a hand full of bad games but this Donky Kessel plays bad since the begining of the year and know one say's anything. START BOOOING THIS PUNK AND RUN HIM OUT OF TORONTO 

Reply-to:YOU (LEAFS) COULDA HAD SEGUIN OR HALL AND NOW BECAUSE OF BRIAN BURKE, YOU GOT KESSEL!!! OMG THAT SOOOOO SUCKS FOR YOU!~wings fan

It get's worse when you have Leaf fans that think it's still a good trade. What a joke Kessel is

Yeah Kessel sucks but lets not put all the blame on him.  Its the LEAFS that truly suck - and arrogant Toronto fans that jump up and scream "we're number 1" when the Leafs do score and are only losing 4-1.  These are the same fans that pumped the Wislon-Burke 'team'.  Leafs suck worse than at any time in history since the Burke-Wilson 'dynamic duo' came to town.  On the brighter side - Leafs are a good representation of Canada's most influential city.

Reply-to:PST Hes really really fat

You dumb ignorant bitch! He only weights 189. Do you know when he was younger he beat cancer. God some people are so ignorant.

PST

He's really really fat

Are you talking about him being picked last? Kessel is a great player but It's not really a surprise he was picked last mainly due to him being on the Maple Leafs. The team is at the bottom of the standings, of course any player at the All-Star game representing the Leafs are gonna go last, it doesn't matter how good the player is. He definitely didn't deserve to go last.

Reply-to:Now we know what the rest of the real all-stars think of Kessel!!Glad to see that they agree with me. The Kessel trade will go down as one of the worst of all time... The guy refuses to play hockey like a man (cant play defensively; floats like a jackass; wont block shots; wont/cant hit, disappears after hes been hit; cant score in important games). One only needs to look at his plus/minus stats and shooting percentage to see how bad he really is. Look it up!!!
