Tell me more.

There's not like a specific incident or anything it's just something you could tell from watching them play. There was tons of little incidents like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/5f7pny/kessel_gets_mouthy_with_crosby/

And you could kinda read between the lines because Crosby's wingers were constantly getting injured and Kessel basically never got a shot on his line (and Crosby gets basically first shot at any top-6 winger brought it - keep in mind this was before Guentzel so he had never had a skilled winger beyond like... Bill Guerin's level and they basically gave it a few games and never again). He played mostly with Malkin until the HBK line became a thing.


Maybe "hate" is too strong a word but Crosby demands a certain intensity from his linemates that Kessel doesn't have so it could well have just been a "I respect you but I don't want you on my line" kinda thing

Chris Simon was a reprehensible rear end in a top hat and the fact he's dead doesn't change that.

One thing we have learned in the last 2 weeks is that Vince Dunn is extremely good and worth his contract. The Kraken went from not very good to an absolute dumpster fire with him out injured.
Also the team has clearly quit on Hakstol now which is pretty cool.

Agree to disagree about Vince Dunn. He’s still overpaid by about 3m a year. They’ve been making basic mistakes in the D zone which they wouldn’t do if they had any sort of rational breakout instead of fast breaking it.

But maybe they’ll finally replace Hakstol and make my dreams come true.

Yes, me too. And if they keep playing the way they’ve been I think they will.

And then Minnesota will beat Vancouver for old times sake and lose in the second round.

This just sounds like a Leafs fan wanting Toronto to finally win a trophy in their lifetime (for participation).

I'd just rather wait (forever) until my team wins it for real.

Only the people with love in their hearts on the team. There's only one person on this team like that. Surprisingly not the player you would think.

San Jose are .01 away from the 4 goals against/game mark.

The only other cap era teams to make it there are the 2022-23 Ducks and the 2022-23 Blue Jackets.

Part of what makes winning a championship so much fun is all the times you had to lose before winning it. If everyone got to have it, it would no longer feel special when compared to all the work the team did to win it.

That’s not enough for interference. Gaudreau doesn’t have any right to change his lane into the Red Wings player’s slow lane. There’s nothing more than a little light contact that doesn’t take him off reacting slowly to the defensive rotation.
