Kessel speaks out

The first post-operation interview with Phil Kessel of the Boston Bruins, just hit the IP addresses. It's amazing how quickly a young mind and body can recuparate after learning news like this and undergoing a difficult treatment and procedure. Just a little tidbit to make you read the whole thing:

"Kessel knew he had cancer last Saturday night, when he played in a 5-1 home loss against New Jersey. Three days later, he underwent the operation to remove his right testicle, which confirmed he had embryonal testicular cancer.

And he wasn't relaxed until tests were completed Friday, confirming the cancer was confined to his testicle."

Please show Phil Kessel your continuous support through the Christmas season. Sending a get well e-card to the Bruins is not totally out of place, right?
