Confirmed with Link: Canucks claim F Tom Sestito from Philadelphia

[Reverend Mayhem]

Oh Columbus, Sestito on the PP...

Hey, as recently as last summer Manny Malhotra was the leading point-getter for Blue Jackets centers all-time. Think about that for a second.

Not sure if we should be laughing or crying.

No. Ebbett please.

I miss old Kesler...I hope he returns sometime this year.

 

[luongo321]

I hope he doesn't cost us in the playoffs with some really dirty hits. He's definitely delivered his share of dangerous hits. Hopefully he can stay relatively disciplined.

i don't think so. Guys of his size who can actually play at the NHL level are hard to find. Plus he's only 25. Most people are surprised the PHI put him on waivers. We know that the Habs put a claim in on him so it's not like we were the only team interested. He's exactly the type of player this team has needed for a few seasons now. He'll instantly become fav of AV as well. I don't see him going anywhere this season.

I'm hoping he's spicy and not mild.

With a splash of zest all in a thick form. Nobody likes a mild and runny mess.

 

[Blue Suede Shoes]

Gillis, if you're reading this, thank you. I sure appreciate it. I can handle losing Volpatti if we get someone else who can fill his role. It's nice to have some really tough grit on the roster. And sorry about the sarcastic comments about Ebbett.

 

[HAMMY5]

Anyone got footage of his 2 goal game vs Tampa?

That was the other thought I had watching that video.

 

[Nuckles]

That was the other thought I had watching that video.

if the current kesler was in that video, he'd be tapping his stick non-stop and missing the net with every shot

 

[luongo321]

Does anyone know how many concussions he's had? He took a hard shot from Kassian in his fight and didn't look good after that, his head hit the ice after his fight with tootoo and was pretty much ko'd from it, he took a fairly decent shot from lucic in a fight.

Any ideas?

I think it must be the crazy couple of days we have had, but I LOLd to long at that.

Also I watched that goon movie last week and the videos of this guy keep reminding me of that. On the PP stand in front of the net and don't F'in move. On the PK clear the front of the net and don't F'in move.

Thanks for the links.

I doubt him and Kassian are in the line up together on most nights, at least until Zack rediscovers his game from earlier in the season.

AV seems to want Weise playing on a nightly basis for his PK, and we all know Ebbett is his precious.

So it will likely be Kassian and Sestito rotating for the forseeable future.

 

[TruGr1t]

Uhh...Kassian will not see the press box I wouldn't think. If he is sitting out with any regularity he should just be on the farm. And there is no way Kassian is scratched for a 4th liner like Sestito anyway.

 

[orcatown]

Nice video of Sestito's first goal... and Alberts, of course, in the penalty box

Probably a better player and fighter than Volpatti, but seems to play with less tempo.

Remember, everyone - links to videos that contain profanity, even if it is hockey related, are not allowed. Thanks.

I hate trying to get YT videos to work!!!

1.Ebbett got sent down.
2.Kassian's game has nothing to rediscover, he's not playing with the Twins anymore....why do we expect him to perform like he is, when he's not?
