I heard the same as well. He doesn't seemed to be a well-liked player in the locker room.

Do you people enjoy just making this stuff up at will?

Here's their official injury report:

Hey now-- my hearsay is perfectly plausible. Lots of athletes are perceived as dickish by common folk. And I'm not making it up! I'm merely repeating something I read without any personal or secondary verification.

Don't forget to throw Hudler in there for his Huge Potential...

Do you even post on these boards for any purpose other then to ***** about Hudler?

Well, dickish and rude to fans, possibly.

I don't see how a player who was named assistant captain of the Western Conference Champions is bad in the locker room (which was what RWA said). Not after the chemistry that was seen with him and players from around the league in the 2009 Olympics and from the fact he was a candidate for the Captaincy this season. Sometimes it is like some people just say things and put the "I've heard" tag on it as if they don't sound ridiculous when saying it.

Oh I'm with you there man. If he was a **** in the locker room I doubt they'd give him a letter. It's not unheard of, though. Didn't Dion's prima-dona behaviour help run him out of Calgary.

Let's not forget that Matt Cooke has worn the "A" a few times in his career and he's the biggest jackwaggon of them all,on and off the ice.

Also, on a side note, I heard that Doc likes to sleep with slabs of bacon...just what I heard, though.

Kesler biggest s***head in NHL. Nothing more to say.

[HankthaTank]

Franzen+Kindl for Clowe sounds great to me

Not sure what people are negging you for other than fight part you had to throw in. Clowe, although a prick on the Sharks, would be welcomed with open arms no doubt. Now this said, it's great to hear about him getting what he deserved after asking Kronner to come after him; poetic justice at its finest. Best part of the hit is the audio where the players yell for him to look up and it was waaayyyy too late

[RedWingsRox]

Too bad we didn't get a chance to Kronwall Kesler or the Sedin Twigs.

[ben_usmc]

No way Kesler is an *******. He is the greatest player to ever lace them up: Kesler>>>>>>>>Pasha

[haroldsnepsts]

It's not just his trash talking, it's all of his antics. I get that players trash talk, but the classy ones don't.

Agreed. It's like pulling out a player's mouthguard and throwing it to the ice. Classless.

The main thing I don't like about Kesler is the diving. Otherwise the guy is a beast.

[Din758]

Kind of reminds me of Kirk Maltby - cept he was a 3rd-4th line chirper. Malts was a little less sinister and alot more funny. Ie. to Malkin "your mom's borscht sucks!"

Video? Sounds hysterical and cant find it online...

I negged it because Franzen AND Kindl for Clowe is retarded. Holy over payment. Franzen has his first playoff in four years where he isn't a PPG player and now Clowe is the better player after he had a breakout playoffs. And then throw in Kindl who has all the makings of a top 4 DMan. Salei had 6 more points than Kindl this past season playing about 30 games more. Kindl will put up 15+ points this coming season as a full time player.

What's with the Kesler hate? Are people really upset at him for trash talking? Yah he dives, but no where near as bad as Thornton or the Sedins or most of the Sharks/Canucks for that matter.

Honestly though he could beat the snot out of anyone on the Wings.

I don't know about the Franzen+Kindl part, but I'd certainly like to have Clowe on the Wings. 20 goals a season. 50-60 points. Hard hitter, good fighter, good in the playoffs. HIs health is about the only question mark with the way he plays the game.

Sources? Not that I don't believe you and Drake, but I'd just like to see it.

[Donaldjr2448]

My link

Well.... Vancouver and Chicago players talk the most crap on the ice! I personally believe that Chicago takes the cake, but I remember this video from a couple of years ago With Kesler and Burrows as well as Bieksa against the Blues. I agree with Trash talking and what not on the ice and I have no issue with it, however when you bring someones family into the trash talking, I do have a problem with it! Call each other a puss or pull your balls out or whatever, but when you brings someones wife into the frame, it's over the line!

[wingslogo19]

Clowe wanted a piece of Kronner and he got a piece alright

[Red Wings Addict]

None any better than Drake's. Just some cousins and friends who live in the area and keep giving me s*** because I'm a Wings fan.
