In the realm of the NHL, Phil The Thrill Kessel has secured his legacy as a three-time Stanley Cup Champion. His invaluable contributions to two Cup victories in Pittsburgh, coupled with his significant locker room presence in Vegas this year, albeit in a smaller on-ice role, have proven crucial. <h3>Kessel's Role as a Motivator</h3> Jonathan Marchessault, the latest Conn Smythe winner, joined the Spittin' Chiclets podcast recently, shedding light on the Knights' victorious Stanley Cup journey. He recounted an instance where Kessel's attempt at motivating the team became a decisive turning point. Kessel's pep talk, characterized by his peculiar manner of speaking, happened right before the pivotal game five. <q> He's a character. Like the way he speaks, the way he says things. He comes in before Game 5... and he's like, 'If you guys fucking lose this game and I have to fucking fly to Florida and back, I'll be pissed.' </q> Even though Kessel wasn't part of the game five lineup, his influence was undeniably instrumental in leading the team to victory. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1671169952441856004'> </a></blockquote></div> <h3>Celebratory Moments with Kessel and the Cup</h3> In the wake of the Knights' Cup triumph, a new image surfaced showing Phil Kessel, seemingly basking in the glory of yet another Stanley Cup win. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1671166062417813509'> </a></blockquote></div> The photo depicts Kessel along with his teammates, puffing on cigars with the coveted Cup showcased in the foreground, and an impressive platter of tater tots laid out before them. This notable gastronomic choice might be the start of a new tradition for Kessel, who had previously gained fame for eating a hot dog out of the Stanley Cup. We extend our congratulations to Phil and the Knights for their hard earned victory.
