Phil Kessel

[ChiefWiggum]

I don't like it. People say its not a big deal but do you think Malkin liked being yelled at. Do you think Kessel and Malkin enjoyed the overall experience at the time. This time it worked out but i don't like players coming to the bench and just blasting players A through Z.

The right thing to do would have been to grab a tablet and show Malkin the play either on the bench or in the room and say "i think you did X wrong, you should have done Y"

That's what a Leader would do.

Kessel is not a leader. That, we know.

Leadership is not an issue on the Penguins.... But I'm sure they'll take your opinion on their locker room seriously.

Big night for Phil incoming.

I think they are both grown ups and friends and know that anything said is out of a desire to win and not personal. I'm sure they both apologized after the game for any hurt fee-fees and had a good laugh about it.

[madinsomniac]

If that was messier (or any of the dozen apointed great leaders in the current game)yelling at the bench then going out and scoring the media would be drowning him in praise for leading the way... but its kessel and the majority hate Phil so instead its treated like some odd thing....

Phil should have had 3 or maybe even 4 goals in the first two games and was probably frustrated but this is grossly overblown... there are bench blowups all the time and you almost never see them highlighted on national tv...

Its just an ongoing narrative... phil is an awesome guy and liked in the locker room.. he hates the national media and for great reasons...

Counterpoint: Phil Kessel is a Myth.

 

[Canadian Time]

It's not normal, I don't care how Sullivan spins it. A bit of a jawing absolutely is normal but not this sitcom stuff Kessel was pulling. I actually like Kessel, good player, but no one on the bench appreciated that bat-**** crazy stuff. If you win, it's tolerated, as soon as you don't he will be the first guy booted.

His mother prefers to call him "husky".

Please, it was a heat of the moment exchange. Happens every game.

 

[PensandCaps]

please....Malkin and Kessel fighting is nothing. Malkin is always mad at teamates. and i guess no one has ever seen crosby/Hornqvist Jaw and yell at each other. they do it all the time and are great together.

Can you imagine if that was Toews, who then went on and scored the only goal of the game?

 

[BigEezyE22]

This thread is amazing. HF keeps outdoing itself.

lol, "such a great leader" "gibberish gibberish gibberish"

Ohhh the leadership....

Anyone who has played competitive sports at a high level would find your post ridiculous. Teams are made up of different personalities. I'm fine getting yelled at like that, it motivates me. Additionally, my teammates know/knew when I yelled it wasn't personal, it was how I led a lot of the time. Did that sometimes rub new personalities the wrong way at first? Sure. Did I scream beligerently at players all game? Of course not. Point is, eventually real teams get on the same page. I'm sure Malkin and Kessel know how to talk to one another. Not everyone has the same leadership style. There is no cookie cutter approach.

Loved the guy as a Leaf and still love him as a Penguin.

Showing somebody something and telling them what they did wrong is not much different than yelling to them what they did wrong.

Showing them something and asking them what could have been done differently is probably what you are thinking.

That said, sometimes people need yelling. Ever met a sargeant?

 

[DMR]

Not to mention Geno was the first one to skate up to Phil with a big smile on his face to celebrate the goal. They're fine. .

Schizo Phil going to score tonight?
