NASHVILLE — It turns out there are people out there who have no problem cheering for Ryan Kesler.
And it isn’t just fans, friends or family members. It's a fellow rodent too.
“I love the way he plays the game,” former NHLer Claude Lemieux told Postmedia in a phone interview Monday. “He leaves it all out there. He plays on the edge.”
A night earlier, Lemieux had watched in admiration as Kesler poked, prodded and pestered Ryan Johansen during a 5-3 Anaheim Ducks win over the Nashville Predators in Game 2 of the Western Conference final.
