Kessel played 82 games for the Golden Knights in the regular season. The standard to get one's name engraved on the Cup is playing at least 41 regular season games (or at least one game in the Finals). Kessel may have been scratched for most of the playoffs but he more than meets the requirement for regular season games. So yes, his name will go on the Cup and yes it's legit.I find it laughable that Phil Kessel is claiming to be a Stanley Cup champion even though he was benched by Vegas for most of the playoffs.
BTW this is the second season in a row where the Oilers were eliminated in the 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs by the Stanley Cup champs.
Best hockey player ever as the kids would say "GOAT"
* Connor McDavid became the second player to win the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy (top goal scorer), Art Ross Trophy (top point scorer), Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP of regular season) and Ted Lindsay Award (Most Outstanding Player as Voted by the NHLPA) in the same season, joining Alex Ovechkin (2007-08). The “Rocket” Richard Trophy was the last to do be introduced, in 1998-99.
not sure about "goat" but certainly "gatm" (greatest at the moment).Best hockey player ever as the kids would say "GOAT"
