TORONTO — The hits just kept on coming for Phil Kessel Thursday.
A day after Team USA players made it clear they did not appreciate Kessel’s late-night tweet on Tuesday, head coach John Tortorella and general manager Dean Lombardi put in their two cents.
“As far as the tweet, listen, I like Phil,” Tortorella said. “I have had him in world championships, I really like him.
“We need to take our medicine as a team. We will take it from you guys all day long, that is part of our job and it is part of your job, and we should.
