Toronto Is Having A Rough Couple Of Days

Fate had other plans.

Yeah, the Leafs’ Phil Kessel FINALLY scored a big goal versus the Bruins, but has he been that good to have his TERRIFYING effigy emblazoned on an elevator?

Leafs beat Bruins 4-2, even up series #ThankYouKessel
After their game one loss to the Bruins, the Leafs knew they had to significantly improve their game if they wanted a chance at advancing to the second round. They did just that. Reimer made 41 saves, Lupul had two goals, Kessel got the monkey off his back in the game winner, and JVR got the insurance marker as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Boston Bruins 4-2 to even up the...
Phil Kessel Quiets TD Garden Crowd, Reminds Bruins Importance of Slowing Down Toronto Forward
BOSTON — The Phil Kessel storyline is one that’s not going away anytime soon in the first-round series between the Maple Leafs and Bruins, especially after Saturday’s Game 2.
The former Bruins forward, who has had more than his share of misery against his old team, went a long way in erasing any of that pain with one of the biggest goals of his career. Kessel scored just 53...

Phil Kessel Doesn’t Do Much of Anything in Game 1, Thinks His Game Was ‘All Right’
BOSTON — Phil Kessel was on the ice for 13:51 in Game 1 against the Bruins on Wednesday night, but we only know that because it’s what the statsheet tells us, as well as the fact that No. 81 in white was booed and heckled every time he touched the puck.
The Maple Leafs forward was pretty much invisible in Game 1, a 4-1 loss to the Bruins at TD Garden. Admittedly, Kessel did make...
Kessel Not The Same Player Against The Bruins
from Christopher L. Gasper of the Boston Globe,
Phil Kessel is a man of few words and, when it comes to facing his former team, a man of even fewer goals.
Give Kessel credit. The former Bruin spoke postgame on a night when his silence on the ice spoke volumes about his reputation as a faux franchise forward. Turned into white noise on skates, Kessel could only watch as the...
Phil Kessel Meets With Media, Says Likely Taunts From Bruins Fans ‘Part of the Game’ (Video)
Phil Kessel made headlines Monday, quite frankly, by not saying anything. The Maple Leafs forward dodged the large pack of hockey media following Toronto practice, and that caused quite a stir.
The Leafs were back at practice Tuesday, and this time around, it was Kessel making news by talking — although not really saying much. The soft-spoken Kessel was his typical reserved self...
