It was an interesting season for Phil Kessel. The veteran forward played all season for Vegas but was a healthy scratch for much of their Stanley Cup run. Now that the season is over, Kessel seems to be celebrating in a rather unique way.
Years ago it was hotdogs, earlier this summer it was tater tots, and now it's pizza. The three-time Cup Champ was spotted recently at a Chuck-E-Cheese enjoying a pizza. Kessel was noticed by a fan and posed for a picture.
Kessel has yet to ink a contract for the 2023-24 season, leaving many wondering if he plans on retiring later this summer. While it may be looking too far into it, most athletes don't eat junk food when trying to earn a new deal.
Phil The Thrill has never fit the stereotypical mold of what a hockey player should look like. He's been what most would consider to be "out of shape" for most of his career, but it hasn't stopped him from becoming a fan favorite in the best league in the world. Now, with three Stanley Cup Rings to his name, maybe it's time for Phil to call it a career.
