New York. Last night, Phil Kessel became the all-time Ironman in the NHL – and celebrated his first real goal as a Vegas Knight.
– Yes, what a wonderful evening for him. We’re really dealing with him, William Carlson says recently to Sportbladet after the 4-2 win over San Jose, to which he also contributed with a goal.
Already when he touched on Keith Yandel’s record for the number of consecutive NHL games last night, “Phil The Thrill” Kessel managed to score – but was left out altogether.
But in hindsight, it was, because it meant the eccentric 35-year-old from Wisconsin could instead celebrate the first ball with the new club when last night he broke the record in his 990th unbroken game, against the Sharks at San Jose, became the Iron Man of all time.
At the end of the first period, she flew on the left wing, passed Matt Benning and sent the disc.
– It was very interesting to see him, says his colleague William Carlson On the phone from San Jose.
– What a wonderful evening he had. We really wish him so. He is a great man. I know because I’m sitting next to him in the dressing room, he’s always happy and happy.
“Wild Bill” had a good night himself, too – and he reached his climax when, at 13:13 in the third period, he grabbed a racquet disc in the center area, beat Eric’s names, freed him and hit what was the decisive goal of the match.
– Yeah, I probably beat him one by one and then it was a free stand and I got a good hit. It was great to see that time, especially since it was 2-2 in this case, William continued.
Who recently shocked everyone by showing off their main feature – blonde earlobes.
– Yes, I cut my hair and thought it was the first time in eight years that I had short hair. A little unusual, but cute. It feels a little easier, haha.
