Already elite, newly-signed Riveter Amanda Kessel declares: "I'm only going to get better."
When the news broke that Amanda Kessel had signed with the NWHL to play for the Riveters, hockey Twitter basically went berserk. Riveters fans who had mourned the loss of #1 pick Alex Carpenter to the already-powerful Pride suddenly had reason to believe again. Plus, Kessel is a marquee name, and the signing seemed like a good omen for the beleaguered league. The NWHL kindly arranged for the Player Sometimes Known as #BestKessel to answer some questions about New York, USA Hockey, and, yes, the NHL playoffs.
