Steve Simmons posted that on June 6, as Pittsburgh beat the Sharks 3-1 and took a 3-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. He's Steve Simmons, and no one should have been surprised that fans assumed he was getting at Phil Kessel, that he couldn't handle it that Kessel was winning and making him look foolish in his earlier criticisms, if a hit piece can be so dignified with that term.
