Will Kessel Save The Day?

The Maple Leafs terrible start to the season could possibly turn around tonight against the Lighting, with the expected return of Phil Kessel; a young Leafs sniper. Kessel has been recovering from a torn labrum and torn rotator cup in his left shoulder, for the last six months. Leafs coach Ron Wilson expressed earlier that "they will be patient with the returning player" and that they will not be counting on Kessel to score "six goals" his returning night. The coach simply expressed that they will slowly integrate him back into the game and allow him to catch up with the swing of things slowly. Although, fans acknowledge that Phil Kessel is a fighter. While in his NHL rookie year, with the Boston Bruins, Kessel was diagnosed with testicular cancer. The young man of only 19 was terrified, considering the procedures to come. After undergoing surgery Kessel managed to bonce back, defeating the life threatening disease. Now when lacing up his skates Kessel clams "Obviously, when that type of thing happens, you learn a lot about yourself," following with "You get stronger from it." Lets hope this young stick of dynamite is right. Leafs fans all around are counting on Kessel to hit the ice stronger then ever before.

Go! Leafs, Go!
