I can never understand the heat this guy gets. He is a 700 K player who will fight anyone in the NHL , no questions asked. He has stood up for a teammate multiple times this season and seems pretty well liked on the team. Sure he isn't the fleetest of foot or the best defensively but he has at least scored a few goals and is a vastly improved player this season compared to last. No, he isn't a great fighter but he is a hell of a lot better player than 95 % of the behemoths he has to fight.
For a team with as many warts and goiters as this one has I'd say he is a minor whitehead on the left ass cheek.
I would also say he is ideal as a 13/14 forward on a young ( hopefully younger moving forward) improving team. He gives the team some fucking testicles which it seems had been chopped off since the days of Rick Rypien .

I have been hard on Tom, but I will concede that he has been much better this season than I thought he would be. I think you can make a case now for his existence on a NHL team, whereas a year ago he clearly did not belong.
I mean Tom does have more goals this season than the $37M man David Clarkson!

IIRC wasn't the 4th line gassed after two icing calls against when Sestito picked that fight (Bordeleau)?
If so, he was willing to lose a fight in order to give his linemates a bit of a rest
(and allow a fresh player to replace him on the ice).
Sestito isn't a fantastic fighter, but he seems to choose who/when to fight rather wisely.
There are certainly worse 4th-liners in the league...

True Story. The other thing I like about the big goof is that he allows Kassian to (try, at least) focus on playing hockey, instead of being the team sheriff. Without Sestito, there is a good chance Kassian stagnates as a Ben Eager. As it is, he has the opportunity to develop offensively, all the while retaining the potential to come completely unhinged and murder someone. I like having a weapon like that.
