The Buffalo News points out Leafs sniper Phil Kessel, who had two points in six games in the 2010 Olympics in a lesser role, is now in his prime and will be an Olympic star.
"I'm sure he's going to be a huge factor in the tournament," said linemate James van Riemsdyk, who will also make the U.S. squad. "You have a little bit extra room to operate and make a play and to skate in. That's the key. If you can't skate with the 15 feet extra of ice, you're basically ineffective out there. When you have that game-breaking speed that he has, it's a huge advantage."
JVR offered this off-ice observation of Kessel: "He's not quiet around us. Maybe outwardly to you guys he is, but he's a fun guy to be around. He's a character and a piece of work, to say the least."
