Awesome.
Gotta love how GMMG said he’d bench him the next night if he broke his stick on the boards.
Well done, GMMG. Well done.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I agree
too many players these days seem to do this type of thing. Breaking a stick in frustration. Hockey is a game of frustration. You have to get used to it. Keep doing the right things and eventually you will get your results. I would bench any player that broke a stick in frustration. I mean imagine the worst case scenario? You go to try to break your stick and hit a player with it? You could cause some serious damage.

I agree
Gustavsson did that after almost every goal against.

Yep, it’s an emotional game sometimes, especially at the highest levels.
I firmly believe that someone’s true character is shown when things are not going well, as everything is always smiles when things are going well. Do you get angry and lose focus? Or stay calm and collected?

Great story. The Backes quote was the best.

might as well just add another on the pile…maybe they’ll all cancel out

There's no such thing as a curse
and I am a Cub fan. I should know.

Great piece
I didn’t know he accidentally grabbed the wrong stick before getting his hattrick. I love little tidbits like that

I knew something different was about him in that game
when I was watching his shooting, his shot seemed harder, more accurate.

And yet in the article he says that his practice sticks would make his shot less accurate in the heat of the game. I wonder if he still grabs a practice stick every once in a while to change things up.

I love how they keep emphasizing how Kesler is American
Yeah us Canadians
