Welcome to The Temple of the Phil: The official Phil Kessel Meme Repository.

It's finally happening! This is going to be the most exciting team to watch in the NHL this year. I can't wait!

 

[Darth Vitale]

Damn right he's happy. Wouldn't you be?

 

[Lomez]

Longest off-season ever....

 

[cygnus47]

Still hasn't sunk in for me. The first time Sid or Geno finds him open and he buries one maybe it will seem real...

 

[Penguinzilla*]

I'm bored.

[Winger for Hire]

He looks like a completely different person

 

[Valarukar]

He looks like a completely different person

It's almost like the Toronto media were *******s to him.

 

[OnMyOwn]

"This guys an idiot". Pretty sure you hate the local media when you say that to their face

 

[Winger for Hire]

Even the camera angle in the Pittsburgh picture is more flattering...

 

[Penguinator]

Even the camera angle in the Pittsburgh picture is more flattering...

He does seem to have huge forearms though...

That posture also indicates he's strongly confident about being on full defensive mode against the Toronto media circus.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

He also looks like he is the long-lost brother from that Orange County Choppers show in the Toronto picture.

 

[Headshot77]

I love how there are at least a dozen Toronto microphones in front of him, and just one sad Pittsburgh microphone. This must really be like a vacation for him.

Furthermore: he's actually holding that lone microphone.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Phil went from either Bozak or Komarov for his centers to Crosby or Malkin...I'd be smiling like an idiot 24/7 if I was him too.

 

[BHD]

The main board is going to be a good read if he has a great season.

The main board is going to be a good read if he has a great season.

Especially the guy who said Kessel=Kunitz.

LOL, you are right!

That was pretty funny. That was a one dimensional Kessel though lol. You have to take into account that was a fan of the team with captain intangibles if I remember correctly.

 

[BHD]

Especially the guy who said Kessel=Kunitz.

I seriously considered quoting that for my signature. I mean... my claim that Kunitz isn't first-line winger is debatable. However, saying he as good as Kessel is crazy talk.

Anyways, I hope Kessel scores a lot of goals.

It's already awful, I'm arguing with someone who's saying that since Sedin has more assists than Crosby, Sedin is a better playmaker while completely ignoring games played. I'm trying to explain to him why this doesn't make sense, but he just keeps repeating it and trying to say I'm biased against Sedin. Are the main boards always this bad?

 

[3074326]

Are the main boards always this bad?

Yes. Good for entertainment purposes. Not so much for excellent debate.

 

[FDBluth]

looks happy

and well-fed

 

[FDBluth]

This is pretty great.
