Because everything lives forever on the internet, that Hockey News cover will never completely go away.

Type Phil Kessel’s name into Google Images, and the image still comes up — a bit further down the page than it used to be — of Kessel in a Maple Leafs uniform, next to the caption “Is this the face of a coach killer?” with the last two words in big, bold letters.

In the two years since that cover hit newsstands, though, after being traded to the Penguins and winning a Stanley Cup, Kessel has managed to develop a new reputation: big-game player.
