NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[Shep]

He deserves to be suspended, but really what is Kessel supposed to do there? The 2nd slash was unnecessary, but I don't blame him for the first one. Scott is massive and Kessel isn't going to fight him. Self defence, you gotta get out of there.

he was given a match penalty (intent to injure) which comes with an automatic review. I would have done the same thing as him so I don't think poorly of him but that 2nd slash was disgusting. I wouldn't be upset if he didn't get suspended because Jon Scott is a dick, but he went above and beyond self defense making him the aggressor at the time of that 2nd slash. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get suspended at all.

Clarkson is an easy 10 games imo. Sucks for him but its a pretty black and white rule.

I loved bernier for going out there to fight. Half because he was sticking up for his team and half because Ryan Miller is one of the most unlikeable people in the world.

The 2nd slash I agree, completely unnecessary.

I don't understand Kessel poking Scott as he's about to get off the ice ... what's the point?

[shooker]

What really sucks, and I actually sympathize on this one despite my distain for the leafs, they might be down two top 6 forwards for opening night because john scott is a dick. Sucks to have to rely on karma to get even but that's likely what the leafs will have to do. That and sick Orr on him when they meet next.

[Ennzie]

That's old time hockey right there, minus the slashes kessel gave out both unnecessary.

[anton]

Orr fighting to simply set the tone is scary enough, but a fired up Colton Orr is a whole other ballgame.

Scott better cover up the kidneys this time.

I just became more of a Leaf fan from that one game!!! Awesome!

Agreed 100%

Sucks to lose clarkson for the first 10 games as he was looking awesome for us! He's going to make a big differnece on this team.

But gosh that game was entertaining, and I don't blame kessel at all, he was just trying to cut down an oat tree, gotta take big hacks to do that.

[Mike]

Hah. Everyone in my office is watching youtube videos of the brawl. Non-hockey fans, talking about a preseason game.

[hong57]

damn... what happened? as a leafs fan i missed everything -_-

[Mike]

Watch the game in 6 minutes on the leafs' website. Tropp asks Devane to go, Devane knocks him out, Rolston puts Scott on the ice against Kessel line... and it begins.

[kimmer]

[The BBKL Insider]

i'll gladly hold onto clarkson!

On the other hand, I'm glad I have john Scott. Seeing him in action makes me believe he will be fully used as agitator role all season long, securing him 17+ min PIT night in night out.

He wont get anywhere near 17min per night Paul. You'll be lucky for him to make it to 10 min any given night.
