Thank You Kessel

Since it Sioux versus Gophers week and Hockey Bias said the Grand Forks vitriol amping up with Gophers heading to town; I thought I would throw some more gas on the fire… Check out this picture of a thank you Phil Kessel jersey. Phil Kessel played for both Gophers for a minute year and his last game was the historic Holy Cross game at the REA. After his one year in Minnesota the young Kessel signed with the Boston Bruins and played there for three more season before he was traded out of town to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a couple of first round draft picks. With the Toronto Maple Leafs being proverbial doormats again this season and with the Boston Bruins holding the Toronto Maple Leafs first round draft choice, its very possible that the Bruins will get another play of Tyler Seguin’s caliber.
