Even though he scored 394 points in six seasons with the Leafs, the media claimed he couldn't win. However, after being traded to Pittsburgh, he won two Stanley Cups.
Now, with his third championship, he hasn't forgotten the Toronto media and took the opportunity to retaliate.
"You guys in Toronto said I couldn't win, but now I'm a three-time champ. It seems like it wasn't me. Think about that."
Although Kessel didn't participate in any of the final games, he still contributed to the team by being present and serving as a leader.
Let's hope that the Toronto media will learn from this and stop labeling players, as it can affect their performances.
