He earned one of them, got robbed of the Conn Smythe. The other two? Child, please. And no, you couldn’t win as the go to guy the offense was built around. You were a potential 50 goal scorer who never topped 40 because you couldn’t be relied on to lead the offense like you kept saying you could and then got sour when the obvious was pointed out. You had one great playoff run and a consecutive games streak while playing a soft game. Congrats. Enjoy your rings and fuck Brian Burke.

It’s wild how a fan base and cities media can be so toxic that a player leaves succeeds elsewhere, and they still act like the player did them wrong. 🙄
auughhhhWhenTheWhen

Yeah but he by himself can’t and couldn’t win…it wasn’t like the Leafs had the team vegas has lmao.

One more reason why I like Kessel.

He gave Sidney Crosby a hell of a run for his money for the Conn Smythe the first year in Pittsburgh. Phil is a special guy for sure, too bad he didn’t get to be more involved in this cup run. Still a champion with another massive ring.

They probably meant he wouldn’t win one in Toronto. If he stayed he’d still have 0 rings

It takes a lot of ball to flex on winning after sitting in the press box for 3 rounds

Did he even play a single game in the playoffs?

Not a Phil Kessel fan but I enjoy anyone rubbing it in Toronto’s face.

Good for him. He played in 2 playoff games. But every team needs a cheer leader.

Hell yeah Phil. Get they ass
ClassicSchmosby0514
I’ll be honest, I completely forgot he was on the knights. Was he actually productive to the team?

He kinda looks like Messi in this photo? … that tracks

TML is an embarrassment of a franchise. They can’t manage their way out of a cardboard box. And I’m saying this as a lifelong TML fan.

As a healthy scratch, how the hell was he even in full uniform?
TheSensation19
I mean, he played like 2 games this post season and he had to be a depth scorer on a very strong Penguins team for the other 2.
I think it was a mess for Toronto to try and center a core around Kessel and Phaneuf.

Unreal talent, and man I couldn’t be more happy for him. Glad he is able to stick it to the Toronto media cuz they were pretty hard in him. Can you imagine how great this guy could be if he was in great shape? He’s just quietly gone out and had such an amazing career yet he’s so underated. I’d imagine he’ll be hanging them up after this.

If only Phil knew that he is a legend in Leafs nation.
