[ Requested ] TORONTO -- Some 13 minutes into his Toronto Maple Leafs debut, it looked like Phil Kessel might be headed right back onto the injured list.
Zipping through the neutral zone, in and around opponents, the speedy 22-year-old made one cut too many and suddenly met Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Mattias Ohlund, who just clobbered him.
"I don't remember (ever) getting hit like that," Kessel would admit sheepishly in the locker-room afterwards.
"When he came back (to the bench) he said that's the hardest he's ever been hit in this league," said Wilson. "You could kind of see it coming, he was dancing through a minefield ... You've got to give him a double thumbs up for taking a hit like that, a massive hit and coming back and still being a dominant player every shift."
Said Kessel: "I put myself in a bad situation to tell you the truth, I shouldn't have done that. Clean hit, he got me good."

kessel was the worst thing the leafs did he only had 36 goals last year and that was with savard feeding him the puck nobody on the leafs is gonna help kessel and hes getting 5 million a year which is overpriced and the leafs lost 3 draft picks, 2 first rounders, this was the dumbest thing the leafs could possibly do
Kessel is a cunt. Toronto will see that soon enough. He doesn't belong on a team like Toronto that has real men playing for jobs. Bring on the #1 pick.
