"Look at the closing speed of Kessel"

Yeah.

Looks like all Kessel needed to do to get going was not be on a line with a superstar.

You guys should've asked for Bozak in the trade.

So, then what was his problem in Toronto?

Averaged 33 goals over a 82 game sched in Toronto.

Which made me look it up. Dude hasn't missed a game since 08-09

/edit 09-10. My bad. Still surprising

I wasn't looking for a serious answer. BBB had the right idea.

/still impressive, though

No problem, I figured as much. We still need a /sarcasm button !

Just wanted to give back some of the abuse I get when I start assessing goalies

Quick look suggests Phil did not miss a game from Nov 3, 2009 on. That's 521 in a row.

Anyone have a good website to verify? OFGS, its on wikipedia.

Malcontent and difficult to coach

I'd pay money to watch Andy Sutton re-do that interview with Phil.

Or stays out of the corners and thus doesn't get banged up as much.

Malcontent and difficult to coach

He's played for 4 coaches in the past 14 months. Just saying...

Phil will be able to get this at PNC Park in a couple weeks:

And yet I'm pretty sure that hockey players suffer injuries all the time that don't involve getting hit by someone. Especially if we're talking about missing even a single game and not just limiting it to things that are major and/or long-term.

Do you want Carlyle back? Do you think that the Pens and their fans want Johnston back? Doesn't that just about say it all?

[KennyBanyeah]

Nothing to see here folks. The Flyers have never rushed a star player back from concussions. This is all above board. Move along.

Amid concussion worries, Giroux to dress against Jets

Are you impling in a couple of weeks Phil and the rest of the Pens will have nothing better to do then catch ball games?

Laugh a little, man.
