How is it that out of everything I posted, you just comment on the Phil Kessel comment? Nothing else, I've also never heard of him having Cancer.
"dismiss his play"

He was the leading scorer for Toronto all six seasons he played here. He was nearly a point per game player, and easily the best player to ever play for the Leafs since Sundin retired. Don't know how much more you could possibly expect of someone who literally carried the team's offense single-handedly.

"handling of the press"

The same press that suggested he was lazy, overweight and ate a lot of hotdogs? The only time I recall he ever said anything bad about the media was when they were giving Dion grief for a loss. He called them "embarrassing." And he was right, because they mistreated Dion during his time here. Phil stood up for his captain. That not only makes him a great person but an even better teammate.

Phil had testicular cancer. Calling someone who went through that a "loser" is incredibly offensive.
