mitsx11 I dont have twitter. What did he say?

Kessel wasn't selected for team USA, because they tried to make a tough grindy team and people were shocked and angry that they did this and didn't pick up certain skilled players, most notably Phil Kessel who was one of the highest scoring American players at the time. Should have been a no brainer. Team USA went on to get absolutely destroyed in every game they played and never made it past the group stage. During the last game, which essentially didn't matter because Team USA was eliminated regardless and would also go on to lose anyway, Phil Kessel tweeted; "Just sitting around the house tonight with my dog, felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn't put my finger on it." Greatest tweet ever.

mitsx11 hahah thats awesome. Thank you.

mitsx11 when he said dog I was wondering if he meant actual dog or hot dog

No no. He meant that one.

So did Kessels career with the pens

I saw that video. For a guy that is as shy and quiet with the media as he usually is to speak up and call the media's treatment of Dion to be "disgusting" was awesome. When push came to shove, he stuck up for his teammates.

Ooops, not enough. Don't look now, he's in someplace where hockey shouldn't be played. What a shame.

800metre Leafs were a bad team with moronic fans - absurd of then to expect Kessel to carry the sack of rocks Toronto had at the time.

Phil is fat

Gary Roberts said that he can 1 leg squat 335 pounds like it's nothing, and Malkin said he smokes him on the leg press machine. He's no slouch in the weight room

JazzxGaming in Pittsburgh there was no pressure for him to be the main guy, which means he was always tense in Toronto, instead of loose in Pittsburgh. That’s the problem with what they’re doing to Mathews, when he’s only 20. Putting that much pressure on guys is unfair.

we end up getting anderson and kappenen out of it.

I like everyone on Toronto now. But I'm just sad that we won't see jvr, Mathews, and Kessel on the same line ever again probably lol. That line would be killer

JazzxGaming You might, Kessel may be available after failing to score vs Washington - you never know.

No pressure on him anymore LOL. With tavares in the mix now, a lot of the pressure is off

Griffin Emerson amen!

@Bellches100 Yeah the Pens just play, win and have fun. Toronto media and fan base are brutal towards the team on the ice.

Scotty Mayfield Who was the face of the leafs when Kessel was there than?

Greg Hince You got three? You mean two

Technically the Pens have 5

Kessell was only there for 2

Forward thinking? 🤔 we have 5 in my lifetime. We’re going for 3 in this incarnation.

Devan wtf is this

Hell no

did kessel have 50 in 07? didnt think so

Ew Heatley is irrelevant

Does Heatley have a cup? Didn’t think so

So you’ll settle for six rings then? That’s good.

Lord Razim No we're on a stairway to 7 bro. We'll get there one day... when Brady retires 😂

Tom Witner not with those bad puns you aren’t! Lol

HockeyHero03 ?

Ben K Look at the title of the video lol
