I may have a soft spot for Phil Kessel because he's taken so much shit for his body type and as far as I'm concerned that's bullshit on any number of levels. (Fat-shaming is *never* cool, he's a cancer survivor so it's not impossible that his fat storage was affected by that, and his actual professional numbers speed/endurance/conditioning-wise do NOT bear out any kind of "too fat to skate" narrative imo.)
