After watching this I'm pretty sure he didn't even mean to savagely wreck team USA with that tweet a while ago. Just naturally funny and dangerously unaware of it lol
Kessel wasn't selected for team USA, because they tried to make a tough grindy team and people were shocked and angry that they did this and didn't pick up certain skilled players, most notably Phil Kessel who was one of the highest scoring American players at the time. Should have been a no brainer. Team USA went on to get absolutely destroyed in every game they played and never made it past the group stage. During the last game, which essentially didn't matter because Team USA was eliminated regardless and would also go on to lose anyway, Phil Kessel tweeted; "Just sitting around the house tonight with my dog, felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn't put my finger on it." Greatest tweet ever.
Phil really is an endearing guy. The way he stuck up for Phaneuf in Toronto shows it. He has always been a class act. I am so very glad he is apart of the penguins organization, and the city of Pittsburgh loves him!
I saw that video. For a guy that is as shy and quiet with the media as he usually is to speak up and call the media's treatment of Dion to be "disgusting" was awesome. When push came to shove, he stuck up for his teammates.
Phil Kessel is a hockey legend on the basis of his personality alone, never mind his talent. Makes everyone around him better in more ways than one, and is having yet another fantastic season with the Yotes despite the circumstances lol a beauty 👍
That was awesome. Phil's a great guy. As a Leafs fan that was sorry to see all the crap he took from the media (and fans) my favorite Kessel moment was when he put online that picture of him eating hotdogs out of the Stanley cup on a golf course. Ha ha, cry your heart out Steve Simmons!
JazzxGaming in Pittsburgh there was no pressure for him to be the main guy, which means he was always tense in Toronto, instead of loose in Pittsburgh. That’s the problem with what they’re doing to Mathews, when he’s only 20. Putting that much pressure on guys is unfair.
I like everyone on Toronto now. But I'm just sad that we won't see jvr, Mathews, and Kessel on the same line ever again probably lol. That line would be killer
Really a shame that Phil came to the leafs when he did. The team struggled and the media needed a scapegoat. Imagine how differently Toronto would have viewed him if he played on the leafs current roster...
Hasn't spent more than 5 minutes in a gym, looks like a lumberjack beer leaguer, eats whatever he wants, yet is still one of the faster skaters in the league. Go Phil!
Gary Roberts said that he can 1 leg squat 335 pounds like it's nothing, and Malkin said he smokes him on the leg press machine. He's no slouch in the weight room
Everyone saying Phil is fat and has horrible work ethic in the comments are actually so silly, whatever he's doing or not doing is working well for him; he got over 90 points this season. Let him live!
Best thing that ever happened to Kessel was leaving the cancer known as the Maple Leafs. Glad to see he's with a good team and playing for a fanbase that doesn't throw waffles at him.
Nice to see Phil has finally come out of his shell, he was Mr. Incommunicado with Boston and Providence (played 1 AHL game on a conditioning assignment, scored, spoke in a near inaudible voice to the media afterwards - clueless!), but that was then, obviously. Kessel a great supporter of his siblings when they play.
Biggest beauty in the league.
80% THRILL 20%PHIL
Get that man a hot dog

mitsx11 I dont have twitter. What did he say?

mitsx11 hahah thats awesome. Thank you.
mitsx11 when he said dog I was wondering if he meant actual dog or hot dog
No no. He meant that one.
Even tho people know hes good, Kessel is still underated, he has wicked accuracy when he shoots, and is a terrific passer to top it off.

Ooops, not enough. Don't look now, he's in someplace where hockey shouldn't be played. What a shame.
Even if you aren't a fan of the pens you have to love phil.. Straight teddy bear lmao
“Get out of here Evgeni” I died at that point
So did Kessels career with the pens
Phil Kessel is my favourite hockey player

I wish he was still on Toronto but the way some of the media and fans treated him was not right. I can see why he wanted to leave.

we end up getting anderson and kappenen out of it.

JazzxGaming You might, Kessel may be available after failing to score vs Washington - you never know.
No pressure on him anymore LOL. With tavares in the mix now, a lot of the pressure is off
1:57 when Phil says " i just hadda heart atteeack" I heard a little Chris Farley ish accent; they're both from Madison, Wisconsin.
Really a shame that Phil came to the leafs when he did. The team struggled and the media needed a scapegoat. Imagine how differently Toronto would have viewed him if he played on the leafs current roster...
800metre Leafs were a bad team with moronic fans - absurd of then to expect Kessel to carry the sack of rocks Toronto had at the time.
I’m a huge Toronto fan and I’ll always love Phil!
His snap shot is crazy joining Crosby literally saved his life lol, Toronto misses u man, all the best
Keep the laughs going Phil! Don’t ever stop!!
fantastic video about a fantastic team
He can have all the hot dogs he wants here in Pittsburgh!
Griffin Emerson amen!
Hasn't spent more than 5 minutes in a gym, looks like a lumberjack beer leaguer, eats whatever he wants, yet is still one of the faster skaters in the league. Go Phil!

whenever i'm feeling down, i just watch this video and pretend like all these people are talking about me.
Love me some Phil kessel! We are so blessed to have this hockey god infront of us 🐧👌

Phil is fat
Not being the face of the team has helped his career so much
Scotty Mayfield Who was the face of the leafs when Kessel was there than?
Best thing that ever happened to Kessel was leaving the cancer known as the Maple Leafs. Glad to see he's with a good team and playing for a fanbase that doesn't throw waffles at him.
@Bellches100 Yeah the Pens just play, win and have fun. Toronto media and fan base are brutal towards the team on the ice.
I love that guy he's just awesome
We change his hockey change his hockey save his career made him a hero
I miss him so much on Toronto god damn
Phil Kessel is a Stanley Cup champion
Love Phil dude an awesome personality in hockey

Phil has a beer league mentality with elite level skills. You gotta love him.
He's gonna shine in the playoffs, right to the final
No joke Phil looks just like my old neighbor who was an alcoholic electrician.
Phil debunks the theory that you gotta laugh or you'll go crazy.
Im still not convinced that the man who wears 81 is the same person who does the interviews
#stuntdouble #questioneverything
miss him in toronto.
Phil is so insanely skilled
hope he remains a penguin forever !! 💫💕 Lets go pens 🔥
Even if you hate the pens you gotta love phil
Apparently the Penguins are now the Pittsbugh Penguins......
HockeyHero03 ?
Ben K Look at the title of the video lol
HockeyHero03 I still don’t understand the purpose of the comment/ why 9 people liked it
What're you trying to say?
Dylan Mehalcik tbh, I have no idea now
Pittsburgh let Phil be Phil and not trying to change him.
I love Phil
Leaf or not he still my fav
Beautiful
*PittsbuRgh. Or we'll settle for SIXburgh too.
So you’ll settle for six rings then? That’s good.
Lord Razim
No we're on a stairway to 7 bro. We'll get there one day... when Brady retires 😂
Tom Witner not with those bad puns you aren’t! Lol
Kessel > Heatley
Devan wtf is this
Hell no
did kessel have 50 in 07? didnt think so
Ew Heatley is irrelevant
Does Heatley have a cup? Didn’t think so
Now He's a COYOTE!! Glad To have Him with the Yotes!!
Is this the man from the movie Hangover?
love kessel
Phuckin phil. We got 3 and you’re a big part of it. Keep pushing.
Greg Hince You got three? You mean two
Technically the Pens have 5
Kessell was only there for 2
Forward thinking? 🤔 we have 5 in my lifetime. We’re going for 3 in this incarnation.
Cookie Monster
Kessel>TML
I'm amazed that Phil and Amanda Kessell come from the same gene pool.
Don't forget he's a 2 time Stanley Cup Champion Phil Kessel
Miss him on the leafs
Another Wisconsin beauty, only next to Rich Evans
The only player who looks like he's been eating too many fruit pies, yet deadly on the ice.
Have his TML jersey and I want his Pens Jersey
Since when Zach Galifianakis started to wear a hat? Nice interview with him though
I cheer for the Leafs... and Phil
It’s hard to understand how Matt Murray is 6’4, he’s so thin and young looking it’s crazy
Kinda miss Phil in Pittsburgh now
Goddam the Pens are stacked.
Give that boy a hotdog
Never would have gotten a cup in Toronto, that's for sure.
PHIL KESSEL IS A TWO-TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMPION
