A Tribute to Phil

Where were you when...

I can’t recall the exact details of what I was doing at the time, but I do remember seeing that tweet and being in a state of shock mixed with some excitement while at the same time trying to confirm this news was coming from actual Bob McKenzie not a spoof account that makes its rounds during free agency.

It’s hard to believe that trade was four years ago, but time sure does fly when you’re having fun, and we had a lot of fun during Kessel’s time in Pittsburgh. Now Kessel has been shipped out of town to the Arizona Coyotes for Alex Galchenyuk and his time with the Penguins has come to an end.
