Oh Phil, where did it go wrong?

Via WickedBruinsFan's Blog  |  September 10, 2009
I avoided writing about the Phil Kessel Saga all summer, and did a good job of ignoring it. The only time I talked about it is when somebody asks me what is going on with Kessel or if it comes up in conversation with other Bruins fans. Otherwise, I haven't batted an eyelash.

My remaining offseason predictions

Via Hockey Leaks  |  September 11, 2009
1. Phil Kessel will be a Maple Leaf. Burke wants him and Kessel wants to wear the blue and white. Burke is trying his hardest to acquire the skilled winger via trade, but if the Bruins decide to deal him elsewhere, the Leafs will immediately put an offer sheet in. This is too good of a fit for the Leafs to miss out on.2. Heatley will be traded before the season starts. He'...
