Phil Kessel just completely destroyed the Ottawa Senators with a hat trick and an assist in less than 33 minutes. He’s hit 30 goals for the sixth consecutive season (if we extend his pace over a full season last year). He’s now tied with Evgeni Malkin for first in points since the 2011-12 season. No NHL player has more points in the past three seasons than Phil Kessel.

Review coming a little later. Until now, let’s celebrate our star, our moon, and our sun: The Phil.
WE ARE NOT WORTHY. WE ARE NOT WORTHY. WE ARE NOT WORTHY.
