Phil Kessel Fills Stanley Cup With Hot Dogs To Own Toronto Columnist
Remember when Steve Simmons, columnist and stooge at the Toronto Sun, kicked off his article about the Maple Leafs trading Phil Kessel with a (later debunked) anecdote about how Kessel used to eat a street hot dog every day? I surely won’t forget that, and two Stanley Cups later, neither has Phil....
Phil Kessel Yelled A Lot And Scored
Phil Kessel is relatable, which is a nice way of saying that he’s large and goofy. But as with all world-class athletes, we must resist the urge to see too much of our pathetic selves in him. Kessel is, obviously, one of the most talented offensive players in hockey—he’s quietly having a hell of a p...
Phil Kessel Flips Puck Over The Back Of The Net To Assist Extremely Cool Goal

The Pittsburgh Penguins filmed winger Phil Kessel as he went through the responsibilities of the team’s media day, and it’s a delight. I especially related to the part where Kessel swore after being told that he had to participate in social media....
They Let Phil Kessel Visit The White House
The Pittsburgh Penguins brought the Stanley Cup to the White House today, and Phil Kessel took time out of his empty schedule to stop by. He’s had a nice, relaxing offseason....
Team USA Is Mad About Phil Kessel's Tweet
Team USA flamed out in two games at the World Cup of Hockey, but one American hockey player did win last night: Phil Kessel.

What Will Phil Kessel Do On His Day With The Stanley Cup?
It’s tough to put a finger on exactly what the knock on Phil Kessel in Toronto was; it seemed to morph to fit whatever the Leafs’ deficiency was that week. Sometimes it was that he wasn’t a winner, sometimes he had a bad attitude. He wasn’t in shape, he didn’t make his teammates better, he wasn’t mo...
Confused Phil Kessel Admits His Breath Stinks
Penguins winger Phil Kessel had a goal and assist in Wednesday’s win over the Lightning, but when he wasn’t on the ice, the broadcast showed him winded and hunched over on the bench. Pierre McGuire interviewed Kessel after the game and asked, “How’s your breath?” Kessel didn’t realize the question w...
Pittsburgh's HBK Line Is The NHL's Hottest
The verb that came to mind watching last night’s 4-2 Pittsburgh win was “overwhelms.” You can hold off the Penguins for a while, you can even shut down a scorer or an entire line for games at a time, but they’ve got so much talent, they’re so deep with scorers up and down their bench and offer barel...
Phil Kessel Cross-Checks, Gets Called A "Fucking Fat Fuck"

Like all parents of fully-grown children, Phil and Kathy Kessel have a bunch of crap cluttering their house that they need to get rid of. But unlike other parents of fully-grown children, their crap is the hockey net that their three standout children grew up shooting on: ...
Phil Kessel And Leafs Fans Deserve Better Than The Toronto Media
The only value in the Steve Simmons column that everyone’s talking about this morning is the news that Phil Kessel eats a street hot dog every damn day. Personally, I think that’s funny and humanizing. Toronto’s troll-columnist-in-chief uses it as a fat joke, and exhibit A in the case for Kessel bei...
Phil Kessel Traded To Pittsburgh
With NHL free agency an hour old, the biggest move is a trade: the Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired Phil Kessel from the Maple Leafs for...well, from the Leafs’ point of view, it’s not really about what they got in exchange. But let’s see anyway:...
Phil Kessel Mad; David Booth Also Mad

Phil Kessel Mad
