The both play 3 games, I think Edm has the easier 3.

I'd start pretty much anyone over Kessel, haha. K, not entirely true. But yes, I'd start him over Kessel.

Just because it says hes cleared to play doesnt mean he'll be in the lineup tomorrow.

**KnucklePuck** · February 1, 2011, 6:29 PM

ok lets say he plays only two games, is it still worth a start over Kessel playing 3?

**littleranger** · February 1, 2011, 6:36 PM

I'd start Kessel personally cause clearly he has something to prove (lame as it sounds) and they play the Panthers,Canes,Sabres which should be some decent scoring games.

Is it really going to make or break your season? Just go with your gut.

If it was me, I'd start hemsky @ 2 games over Kessel @ 3 games. But I hate Kessel so who knows.

The way I see it Hemsky is a point per game player over the span of games he does play. I see Kessel as about a .7 per gp player. So they're about equal if hemsky plays 2.

Hemsky's the kind of player that can get you 3 or 4 points in any game. I don't think Phil is. Go with Hemsky.

I just found this;

I agree I think Phil has something to prove, but I dont see it happening against those three teams, they all have very strong goalies. Vokoun, Ward, and Miller. Tough to score on them in any normal game, but with Phil trying to prove something I think it will be even tougher for him.

I very much agree with you. Especially if he joins back up with the red hot Hall.
