Is he smart like stormey?

TAKE BENNETT!!!

If he hits his potential, imagine him with Johnny Hockey in three years. Calgary looks to have a nice little rebuild going on.

Burke will screw it up by losing patience and start trading for veteran help...

I'm probably picking 3rd or 4th overall so I have a good chance of getting Johnny Hockey.

I figure McDavid and Eichel go 1/2 then I have 1 guy to worry about

Marty, Phaneuf wasn't blatantly asked if the firing was his decision. Kessel reacted like one would expect. He was accused of forcing the firing.

The question was are you a player tough to coach, he had the chance to act like a man and take the bull by the horns. He chose to care not and shy away. He is a great scorer and that's it.

what exactly does "tweeting in solidarity" mean?

Who else can u pick? Reinhart?

Jesus...maybe you should have told all those idiot scouts drooling over him 6 months ago.

Yeah pull-ups would do him some good right?

what did you want him to say?

he says yes and he's (frank)ed.

he said no and the guy clearly kept asking until he got either a yes or what he really wanted which is what happened.

He did, didn't you watch it. He said "I don't think so." Then Festi(frank) said "THANKS PHIL" in a sarcastic way, you wouldn't snap if you were at your job and somebody asked you "Hey, everybody says you're difficult to work with, are you?" Then you answer them and they say "Right! lol! So difficult!"

Seriously Kessel is a major problem, but this is pure retardism (sorry Howard).

I am Charlie you (frank)ers!

Kessel and the TO media deserve each other

They do. It's an embarrassment of riches. Never seen Phil actually snap, he's usually too dumb to jump on these things.

I would have said that it's a team game and as part of the team i have to take the blame. He just lost his cool and escaped. That doesn't make him the only guilty one but he sure didn't show much leadership. Anyway, i have my problems he can handle his.

Or too fat

people crap on Phaneuf a ton for his canned answers but that guy handles the Toronto media as well as anyone possibly could.
- DoubleDown

It is what it is. You simply can't deny the "power" of the media in Toronto in the eyes of fans.

I understand Kessel's reaction. But it's pretty dumb to act like he did in a market like TO.

People have the importance you give them. As a media member he has the right to ask questions and Kessel had the right to stop answering the exact same question, looks pretty simple to me, i don't recall anyone forcing him to sign in the biggest media circus of the league.

stormey has a point about Bennett

Maybe it's because of Wilson's love of Kessel is why he said that.

A spark to get him going.

Has anyone thought of that?

Let's see how he responds on the ice.

Kucherov maybe?
