12 Reasons To Love Phil Kessel

If you're a hockey fan, you probably know who Phil Kessel is. You might even know who his sister, Amanda. No matter what team you follow, I really think that you should support him. He's a good guy. Tries hard. Loves the game. Can you really anyone for anything more? No. But if you still aren't convinced, here are 12 reasons why Phil Kessel should be your favorite player.

1. This photo exists.

2. That photo caused a lot of memes.

3. The fact that he was "uncoachable" became a huge joke within the league.

4. His tweets are top notch.

Okay, so that's not his real tweet. But I had to leave the best one for one of the next reasons.

5. He likes to upset the media by keeping to himself. AKA, not talking to them.

6. He supports his sister.

The Riveters made a #BestKessel shirt and he probably has one.

7. He has a favorite hot dog stand in Toronto, which then became a joke within Pittsburgh.

8. He blatantly ignored Pierre McGuire.

9. He beat cancer.

10. He was left off the World Cup roster and didn't care.

Which actually upset some of the players on Team USA.. But they're completely fine with what Patrick Kane may or may not do in his free time..

11. For someone who takes "off season" seriously, he's a really great player.

12. He's a Stanley Cup Champion

So basically, if you hate on Phil, I can't be your friend. You should also re-evaluate your life.
