Phil Kessel’s training regiment in Toronto was often criticized by the Toronto media as Kessel rarely skated during the off-season.
However, what Kessel was doing in the past worked, as Kessel has not missed a game since the 2009-2010 season.
Kessel this off-season started training with Gary Roberts in July which saw the 27 year old winger develop better eating habits, a smart move for an athlete who is in his late 20’s. The decision to start training with Roberts was actually made by Kessel and his representatives at Newport Sports in June before he was traded to Pittsburgh.
“I think it helped me eat a little healthier,” Kessel said during a media scrum with members of the Penguins website, others. To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
I remember that. Took all summer, but Franson ended up right where we all expected him to go – right fatsam?
Franson to the Leafs, done deal. He really wanted to go back to Toronto.
Was he intimidated by the idea of playing with future leaf Stamkos?
Wrong sport
I would have said 4th rounder, but they like to cut those guys 4 months after they draft them. On second thought they need their 3rd rounder to draft another kickoff returned to watch the ball go over his head into the stands.
Martavis is a 4th rounder.
Not to mention this team sent a 6th round pick away for a kicker that can’t hit over 35 yards and a 5th rounder away for a corner that they have buried on the bench. At this rate they might as well send their 3rd rounder away for a backup safety.
What a Joke.
Big Overrated strikes again!
Everyone knew about the defense. No one wa to to admit Big Overrated isn’t consistent or good enough to carry a team.
This defense is terrible. Can’t even dive on a gift even they get it. Offense calls drive crippling WR passes tthat lose big yardage. Call running plays on 3d and G at the 5. What has happened to this team? Tomlin’s fingerprints are sure on this team.
In 6 years Haley will be gone and you’ll take credit for it
Depaoli – this comment format sucks ass. Go back to old format.
Everyone will blame the defense but Big Overrated is in playoff form.

This has all the makings of steeler football from.poor clock management, to not scoring tds, to defense giving up big plays,
5-1 simply dustin
5-1 or 4-2. And i’ll be honest, i feel extremely confident about my prediction after that game.
Fire tomlin
When will they finally fire Lebeau and release Troy.
This defense may be historically bad.
Oh yay. We traded away a 6th rounder for Shank Scobee. Here comes an ass whooping.
Todd Haley might be my new person to hate. Steelers have a dominating opening drive and he calls a garbage WR pass that loses 8 yards?
Dupuis Crosby Kessel
Perron Malkin Hornqvist
Kunitz Fehr Bennett
Cullen Bonino Plotnikov
Sestito Sundqvist Farnham
Best group of forwards in the Crosby/Malkin era. Hopefully we pick up a 3 or 4 dman at the TDL.
As it stands now bonino ahead of fehr
Switch Perron and Kunitz.
Retarded source: Franson to the Leafs
Any coverage of the prospect tourney that starts tomorrow?
Is anyone going to be there and report on it?
Dupus is the faster skater so makes some sense.
Personally I’d try to limit Dupuis and Kunitz minutes to about 15 a night.
Cute that they altered together
This isn’t 2008, but Dupuis-Crosby-Hossa worked well. So why not Dupuis-Crosby-Kessel?
I saw a photo of Geno centering Perron and Hornqvist. Now we’re talking…
