From what I understand, Kessel's wrist injury has been known practically all of last season...it might've been the reason he wasn't initially chosen.Kessel had hand surgery, guys. Otherwise I'm sure he would've been the guy.
Also, Kessel was probably the best player in Sochi. That's why it is so weird he wasn't on the initial roster, but Torts is gonna Torts.
I heard Jim Rutherford on XM radio last week say Kessel didn't want the media to know because he didn't want to answer questions or make excuses but he was injured for most of the year.
