During Kessel's time with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he faced harsh criticism and attempts to discredit his skills and abilities, ultimately leading to his departure from the team.
Despite these challenges, Kessel has continued to compete at a high level throughout his NHL career.
As you can see above, Kessel did not let them live that down, as you can see in the picture above he ate hotdogs out of a cup he won with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He did this to throw shade at a local writer who had made fun of Kessel for his supposed eating habits.
Kessel brought his 3rd Stanley Cup back to Toronto, where he considers his second home. He wanted to remind the people of Toronto of his career accomplishments.
Moreover, he also brought the Stanley Cup to Sick Kids Hospital in order to offer kids a chance to spend some time with the Cup, an organization that he donates money to on a regular basis.
Let me congratulate you on winning your third Stanley Cup, Phil "The Thrill" Kessel.
