DID ANYONE ACTUALLY READ HIS QUOTE?
You all are going off and ****, but this is a sensationalized headline. It's click bait!
He said that he didn't like it because you can be upset with the current players but by throwing it on the ice you are disrespecting all the great leafs who have played their hearts out on the ice. That is what he thought was classless.
And I agree with him.

Fans should have an "inside out" jersey night.
Wear the jersey - don't throw it - but wear it inside out to demonstrate their concerns with the on-ice product.
yep, that's the same as what I said.So a nhl player can do drugs, get in trouble with the law, gain 100 pounds and all is well come training camp?
It is classless you support your team through the good and bad times. I'm a Leafs fan for life but fans that do this are the fans I hate the most.
Support your team through the good and bad or just pick another team. Disrespecting the players by throwing jerseys on the ice and cheering the other team is not only disrespectful but I'm sure hurts players confidence. If you want to protest just stop buying tickets, but our team is getting worse because the fans are getting worse.
no I'm sure the league and team were praising the guy who did it.Calling the people who pay your salary 'stupid' is not something the Leaf management nor the League take kindly to.
Instead of point the finger at the fans, perhaps Kessel should discuss how it is his team can lose 6-2 to an AHL team then 9-2 at home.
If they put up another performance like the last two games tonight, they should be forced to wear just blue sweaters going forward.
No logos.
Stop going to the games....or if you are there Boo the whole game...and do not wear your jerseys.
I was obviously over exaggerating. No way would a Nhler get in trouble with the law and the team not find out. Your just arguing for the sake of it. We're done here. Don't respond. Thanx
I bet you're wrongAs they should.
Sadly though, I bet most kids these days may not want a Leafs jersey
Hopefully they find the right homes for these jerseys.
I'm a fan and I go to games once and a while... I'm not a fan those nights?We, the real fans, don't go to the games, the suits do.
I'm a fan and I go to games once and a while... I'm not a fan those nights?
oh, I don't wear a suit, but I do sit with some who do just so you have all the facts in deciding if I am or not

well since everything else you write is usually crap I'm happy with that.I've decided you're not
So sick of the whiners around here passing judgement on fans who have every right to be disgusted by these losers.
The biggest injustice is being done by the classless and disrespectful hockey team wearing the iconic jerseys.
This deflection of responsibility has to stop. Its the equivalent of blaming the victim in an assault case.
Kessel..shut the EFF up man. Your team is the embarrassment.
On that note...fans are pretty dumb to pay that kind of money for a jersey and for hockey tickets. If you continue to pay top dollar for an inferior product you got nobody else to blame but yourself and also as Calgary Leaf points out...grown men should not wear sports jerseys in public. If you have your favorite players name on the back its double loser.
He tried that already.
Why shouldn't you wear jerseys? It's been sporting tradition since... I don't even know how long, in every sport. Is it not manly enough?

childish maybe? Do you dress like George Clooney when you watch one of his movies?
And what if I do? Fanaticism has been around for ages. You identify yourself with the team you're cheering for, in colours, jersey, chants or logo. It seems people have too much pride to and think they're somehow less manly because they're wearing someone elses name on a sports jersey
This was posted in the Toronto Sun about what happens the next time someone at the Air Canada Centre throws a Leafs jersey on the ice.

“It’s important to note that a patron throwing anything on the playing surface could be charged with trespassing,†said an MLSE official, “which would see them barred from all MLSE venues for a minimum of 12 months and possibly for life.
