What's this "we" shite?

Maybe in a few years they'll actually have a REAL Hockey World Cup, and not just an excuse to torment the Toronto punters with a tease of real hockey...

Is there a point in having a "REAL" world cup? You bring in any other teams and they're just going to get smashed, and the same teams are going to be in the knock out stages as always.

I agree. Invite top quality teams and then the weaker countries can pool talent to compete.
Who wants to see Latvia and Austria get pummelled 8-0

How self serving was it? Sure, some sour grapes, but he was pretty much runner up for the Conn Smythe, and many have argued that Kessel was the missing link for the Pens this year. Leaving him off had Torts all over it, he's not a Torts type of player...but Torts has also shown he's lost touch with coaching and player communication.

AND...who was the assistant coach for the US? Oh, Mike Sullivan. Do you think that, if Mike was the head coach, Kessel would have been left off? No fcuking way. He'd have had strong input to that roster- just like Torts surely had.

All he was saying in that tweet was, "Wish I was there, pretty sure I could have helped". I'm certain most of his would-be teammates would have agreed.

Here's a Lombardi gem from that article: ""If you're talking about Justin Abdelkader, Blake Wheeler, Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Kesler, David Backes, I'll take those guys any day, any day."

Kesler? Seriously? What has he ever won? He self destructed here after the Nashville series, in the end, he couldn't see it through. He has literally never won anything of significance, and he has a serious inferiority complex when it comes to Canada and anything Canadian hockey related, which is why he takes those sly little in-obvious digs at Vancouver ever chance he gets. He's a full blows twat who secretly wishes he was Canadian, because if he was, maybe he'd have been born with something other than glass in his bones. He couldn't lace Toews' skates.

Yeah, you could say I may be interested going forward, now that the games are do or die. Still gimicky, but the highlights have been awesome.
