The HNIC panel were entertained by the roller coaster of emotions between Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin, which ended with the two hooking up for the game-winner.
They play great together, they're both fierce competitors its good to see this actually. If they were silent when things weren't working then nothing would change or get fixed.
When did Kessel have a chance to score in the playoffs when he was with the Leafs? He was with them for 6 seasons and they made the playoffs once and were out in the first round.
@@PhillyLeotardo25 exactly, we all experienced this one way or another, either in work or room-mate etc. No doubt Kessel looks like a very funny and chill guy off the ice.
@@gamer4028 Who wouldn't want to have -25 every season like Kessel does? -124 in his career? Wow, almost as overrated as Ilya Kovalchuk. Is this the same whiney lapdog who got 74 points in 55 games the very next season, and wow, a +7!? Amazing, +7! Literally a 32 even strength goal differential without Kessel.
I've always wondered why the TV guy "between the benches" never informs the TV audience what the players are saying. What are you there for? You may as well broadcast from the booth.
Both of them just want to play hockey. Give credit to the Senators for employing this style, and getting themselves to the Eastern finals with it. Also, give the Pens credit for adjusting to this "paint drying" style of hockey, the past 2 games.
Djm Pgh No credit for the Sens at all. The NHL needs to figure out rules to put in place to hinder the use of the trap. It makes for a terrible product to watch. The NHL is a business.
Sens in their boring hockey. So hope that the Pens win the series. They need to come up with a penalty to deter the trap from being used. Maybe something to the effect of to many men in the neutral zone penalty. Kind of how basketball has a 3 second in the key violation (might be off on the seconds).
Ya, when the NHL went that way during the dead puck era the rating dropped dramatically. Its still a business and the entertainment aspect is very important to the health of the league. Rules should be put in to discourage the trap. Offense sells.
RetroBrownie I don't even think sitting back is their best chance of winning. Pens D core is destroyed. If Schultz is out they'll be playing with their 7th, 8th and 9th defensemen. Why the hell would Ottawa not make it a point to apply pressure on them? I don't care, sit back, the more the Pens see this trap the better they'll get at bypassing it.
Ram Stones Let's hope they do defeat it. The league has relaxed on the clutching and grabbing slowing players down through the neutral zone. Keep the rules up on that helps teams break through the trap.
nev Its the league that needs to deter it league wide. It's not just an Ottawa thing. Don't care what team it is that is playing the trap, all the same.
@@MontyQueues Male emotions tend to be from a place of genuine passion and results in them trying to accomplish something(motivation). Female emotions tend to come from a place of selfishness(destructive) and fear(reckless).
Kessel just letting his anger out, emotions get to you in these games.
TheWillStrike Exactly! Im like the only leafs fan that liked him and Dion lol
thats good. you need that emotion in playoffs. EVen if it means calling out your coaches or players. It'll give them an energy boost as well
They got it out, vented and found a solution. Thats what makes champions
@@SherlockMahomes99 well they were two of ur best players what does everybody like the guys who are worse at hockey
@@raymondnesbitt8751 That's right

Phil was yelling at himself for the majority of clips going around, he does it every game.
Kessels a really underrated playoff scorer, even dating back to his Leaf days. Consisten.
even back to his Bruins days. Really heavily underrated
When did Kessel have a chance to score in the playoffs when he was with the Leafs? He was with them for 6 seasons and they made the playoffs once and were out in the first round.
David Broughall I think you answered your own question
Minus 124 in his career. Helped Malkin to his worst rating of his career.
@@Jim-pq9pm he's fat
The Hockey Night in Canada panel was so much better than what we endure now.
Malkin and kessel 2 years later...
yeah.. they won 2 cups but I feel Malkin to have to endure Kessel everyday for years man. Can't do this forever.
sam93931 funny they are friends but sometimes work and friendship don’t mix.
@@PhillyLeotardo25 exactly, we all experienced this one way or another, either in work or room-mate etc. No doubt Kessel looks like a very funny and chill guy off the ice.
Gonna miss him playing for us! 😫
Blame your whiney little lap dog for having to trade him

Who's "us"? You mean the pens right?

If you're referring to Pierre? He's good for nothing
so entertaining to watch them go at it then reconcile with a goal
The bands back together!
Phil the thrill made it 1 - nil.
Funny I come down to the comments and there were 87 comments
I SWEAR IF WE TRADE ANY OF THEM I WILL BE MADD AS A LION THAT'S MAD.....defenitly makes sense
Are you mad ;)

But not game 3
“You have to move the puck”- Phil
Pens in 5. Senators seem like they're on their heels the whole game and just playing to avoid losing, rather than playing to win.
Pens will be without Hornqvist,Schultz and Rust and Daley and Streit are game time decisions tonight? This could get high scoring 5-3 Ottawa
tom tom lol ottawa scores 48 seconds into game 3
it's already 4-0 hahahahaha
tom tom lol typical analyst
"I can't hear you!"
Miss these days during the cup run 🥲 now we lose first round every year
Who's "we"? You mean the pens right? The team thats not even affiliated with you whatsoever
@@tomwilliams1849 he’s a fan… quit being so uptight. Maybe you’ll be more likeable
@@tomwilliams1849 bro what 💀😂
@@tomwilliams1849 the Pens have probably won more titles than your dogshit team you support. Cry about it
I love Kessel! He's like a teddy bear.
The Sens have completed changed in 2 years...
I know. It’s crazy. They were so good and they had a great coach in 2017.
The collapse
I hope Nick K is getting royalties for this. Its BS that they cut him loose.
Why? He's the most boring guy on SN.
Couple of headcases!
720p looks great sportsnet! too bad there isnt enough money in that $15 billion in revenue to upload in 1080p like literally anyone else
It wasn't personal those guys played great together It was stupid whenever Sullivan would split them up.
I wonder if that is what teachers think @ my school
Phil is the only American that ever played with grit like a Canadian prairie kid.
gritty is NOT how id describe kessels play. his attitude, maybe, but the guy has never thrown a hit.
Americans have more grit than Canadians
@@vincentmorrelli3025uhhhh no 🤡
Kessel just letting his personality fly
why is this on my recommended lmaooo
Great English going on in the title
I ship it.

Kessel had a few cokes after the second period which calmed him down and refocused him allowing him to get the game winner
Phil Kessel is a misunderstood genius.
All of a sudden, seeing this today, and Kessel and Malkin hate each other now
Rumour is Malkin wanted kessel off the team and that is why he was traded to Arizona .
I think the plus/minus tells the tale. Malkin -25 in the last season. Numbers like that are regular for Kessel, but not for Malkin.
Love how this blown out of proportion because Phil is American.
rhcp09123 lol! most ridiculous comment of the day goes to...
I love me some phil

why is male emotion passionate and motivating but women emotions are destructive and reckless
LOL
Probably the same reason why your wife is cheating on you.

Thirien rant coach of penguins
1-3-1 trap is cheap.
-Wayne Train works pretty well considering they won last game and the Pens only managed to score once in the last 6 minutes
-Wayne Train except the Pens consistently beat it. Just can't get past Anderson.
Beth -182 the pens outshot and dominated the whole game last night in every category the only thing that kept them in the game was Anderson.
It's really bad for the NHL. Terrible to watch on TV.
-Wayne Train speed beats that easily. Look at Edmonton with McDavid teams have to change up their trap because of his speed after the drop pass.
Ottawa = Anti-hockey
The far goldfish transmurally warm because cornet lilly hop astride a cooing work. moaning, loving session
Kesticle is poison
Kessel is a sellout
Muddy Brazeau butt hurt leafs fan
Kessel in general turned out to be the worst player to enter the league
Cap
Kessel is a bummer to watch
Blake Boadway no correlation
Blake Boadway okay, leafs butt hurt fan
