Back to back cups Phil Kessel you say? Tell me more.
They were there too yes. Good eye. Tell me more about Phils playoff points and rings though
With a 9-11 mill CAP on another team
Kessel also led the Pens in playoff scoring during his first cup run with the team (averaged more icetime than Malkin too). Pens don't win those two cup without him.
He certainly conveys confidence. Sometimes, confidence appears like effortlessness. But...to get there, you gotta put in a whole lot of work. And Nylander didn't get the way he did or the shape he's in without a whole lot of work.
That's the pretty kind of plays fans want to see but Willy is at his best when he drives through traffic and not try and go around it. Last years playoff and start of this year success was pretty much that simple . Even the crazy stop Carolina made on his tip was because he drove to the net .
They dont have to pass like crazy, just to get the speed up. He can still go through traffic. I am thinking back to basic, like when he was playing with his brother(a give and go player).
Yes but did he hit anybody? That's the big question. Did he stand along the boards and get his face creamed into the glass? Probably not. He probably chipped the puck to an area, avoided the check while the checker smashed into the boards very loudly, crowd went wild at the sound, Kessel retrieved the puck and scored a goal. He didn't throw or take the body then he had no bearing on the outcome of that series.
