100%. I was back in Toronto for a bit, when the Leafs were in disrepair. And so much of it was fan and media driven. Even when the team went on runs, fans were bracing for the worst. This was before they purposefully tanked. Phil, because he wears his heart on his sleeve, threw in the towel. But, it was really a reaction not an action.
I’m a philly fan so I obviously hate the pens and I’m sure you hate the flyers. But ya gotta love Kessel no matter what team he’s on. Funniest dude in the league and I’m happy that he finally got a cup a few years ago with you guys
@@anthonym8754 As a penguins fan I never hated the flyers, and I'm well aware of the long rivalry that I've been watching since the 90s. I hate the bruins and caps more lol
I have a massive man crush on Phil Kessel. He is the most laid-back chilled dude on top, and underneath he is a seething tornado of desire to win, motivation to be the best, and ambition to prove the haters wrong by doing his talking on the ice. He is the greatest hockey player in my book.
Well, athletically he’s sort of a freak of nature, that’s why he’s able to just relax and play. He knows he’s a better athlete than most so he figures why eat and drink right. He’s not into alcohol but he loves his sugars. As for what went wrong Father time waits for nobody, particularly when you’re not into fitness and not concerned about quality of food intake
MAN! Phil's got way better with the media. Good to see. I know everyone said the Leafs media was hard on him (and they were) but boy the guys in Pitts aren't exactly taking it easy on em lmao
Phil and Burns are legit the two biggest beauties in the game lmao. Phil just simply doesn't give a fuck, the guy just acts as if he doesn't work out or stretch ever but that's obviously false, he still does regardless of the way he looks but in the summer he just drinks some beers and hits the greens plays golf, hits vegas for some poker and comes back and effortlessly puts up big numbers. Not many can play how he plays and approach things the way he does.. The guy's a fucking legend, PHILTHETHRILL, Wish I could say I missed you in Toronto still but at this point I don't think anybody does but so happy for this guy, 2 TIME STANLEY CUP WINNER!
Best thing Toronto ever did was ditch this guy to Pittsburgh for a bag of pucks. Angriest poor sport in the game. I'm surprised he's not fighting with the whole team. Guys got one terrible attitude. His negative energy really brought down the team. For years!
@The Sports Fan Toronto got rid of the cancer. Phil. And when you get rid of cancer you get better. Pretty sure Toronto is getting better. We don't have 1 dimensional Phil ( Mr minus 100)
Lol someone's just a salty leafs fan just wait till Tavares plays bad and the media rides him like a horney cowgirl! I'll give him two years and morons like you will make the same comments about tavares.
@The Sports Fan calm down man, I wasn't knocking Pittsburgh. They are definitely the best team in the league. I'm just sayin kessel was a cancer to toronto. See with or without kessel Toronto is top team offensively. Toronto has shitty defence and goalies and kessels poor attitude and not wanting to back check didn't help the leafs. Now he has Pittsburgh defence backing him up. He's a good fit there
@@86Wutang86 you calm down too lol. Toronto fans haven't had anything to be salty about since kessel got cut. That's pretty much all I'm saying. No need to get all fired up
I'm from Pittsburgh, was a Phil Kessel fan before he came here, and will be long after he left. We need more people like him in this world.
Phil Kessel: Great guy, tries hard, loves the game.
Good heart.
He's a good kid. But, I'm pretty sure Leafs fans think he's a tool. (jokes)
Fultoncards Maybe. However, let's not discount or forget the cesspool that is Toronto sports media

Just wants to play
Phil hates this shit hahaha. He's on the brink of gritting his teeth through every single question in every interview
he just wants to play good hockey, help his team win, get paid, and be left alone. Good dude.
Toronto made him hate the media.
Phil. A god damn national treasure. Such a beauty.
Phil Kessel's a Stanley cup champion baby!

Not the best but I respect a passionate opinion.
@@andrewkmac3507 Yeah, my comment hasn't aged well. Poor Phil. What went wrong?

Phil Kessel is just an awesome human being he is always him being himself being happy and loving life
Love his interviews!! Never dull!! He looks healthy and ready to rip it up along side Geno and Sid !! Let's go pens!! Back to the cup!!
Look at Phil looking slim!
Brendan Strode looks the same to me
Brendan Strode he looks the exact same tf u talking about?
iAJAXBEATZ looks like he lost a few pounds to me
Cut down on the hotdogs
Phil Kessel is the David Wells of Hockey. I love this guy.
Nailed it. Is there a more apt description than this?
Lookin forward to hockey season starting.
CBJ fan here. Love this guy!
3 time cup champ let's go Phil!
We love ole Phil in Pittsburgh
And we love the success of this video still years later. - Mike Asti
Phil is a nice guy. Even when so m of the reported asking the most ridiculous questions, he is still a good sport.
title should have been: "phil kessel hates interviews"
I miss these times. Dark days ahead in Pittsburgh 😢
Gotta love Phil!!!
Phil is thrilled
I hate the pens, I'll openly admit I'm a hater and I hate them. But God damn it do I love Phil Kessel.
The fans still love Phil
He's a goddamn legend lol
Phil interviews ❤️
Phil and Burns are legit the two biggest beauties in the game lmao.

Look at that scuff! Looking good Phil!
How's your breath?
Oh man i miss Phil in toronto..so glad for his success, shut up lot of toronto media.
Man that deadpan, "same old shit man whatever".
I would have after Toronto he would have had “no interviews” put into his contract with Pittsburgh.
Two time Stanley Cup Champion!!!
Phil doesn’t suffer fools.
So what happened between Phil and Malkin? It has been reported, that Malkin said you either trade Phil or trade me.
If he loves the fans why doesn't he do public signing instead of private signings all the time.
Did you do anything this summer ??
Phil -Same old shit ye know- HAHA
Captain obviousely. I love him
turn that spotlight out!
So pissed

"But h-he gets snippy with the media"
God I fucking hate the arrogance of leafs fans sometimes
Nobody talks to Ron......
He clearly hates to answer journalist's questions, still. He looks like a very shy guy.
He does look more slender though.
Being a problem with him and whom?
Regular guy, sniper with a puck

this guys hairline is blinding me
just shave it off already. Sheesh
wtf kessel actaully has a personality he seem sooo depressed when he was a leaf lol
На русского похож
Looks like he has gave up drinking Coca Cola and lost some weight
At least he lost some weight, he played like absolute dogshit in the playoffs
