Phil Kessel is finally getting the praise he deserves

0 comments by on 5/19/2016

Phil Kessel is finally getting the praise he deserves. The Kessel narrative has long been an unfair one. Since joining the NHL, Kessel has become one of the best scorers in the league. He’s also survived cancer. But after getting traded from the Boston Bruins to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2009, Kessel had drawn mostly […]

The Washington Capitals shouldn’t change a thing

Blow it all up! Trade Alexander Ovechkin! Fire Barry Trotz! Change the entire team! Hold your horses and settle down that raw emotion.
