Kessel was more than that too. He was the QB bringing it up the ice. Too bad hethe bed defensively at 5v5 so badly that we had to move on.
The overall effort just wasn't there in the end. I loved what Kessel did for this team... and the powerplay. But he's the kind of guy that would just stand there with his shoulders slumped waiting for the puck while his linemates were getting the shit kicked out of them along the boards battling for the puck. I would say something about the coach doing his job, here but I figure you are unlikely to agree haha
In the end it was right to move on. It was wrong to think they could do so and then skate by from then all the way until now and beyond without more raw ability and firepower in the top six not named Sid or Geno.
