from Stephen Whyno of the CP at Yahoo,
Centre Peter Holland asked goaltender James Reimer last week why Kessel's shot is so difficult to stop.
"It's just I guess the way the puck comes off the blade," Holland recalled. "It's tough for the goalies to read where it's going, whether it's going to be low, high, right corner, left corner."
Reimer, who has been on the receiving end of Kessel's shots in practice for four-plus seasons, said only Kessel and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals can get the puck off that quickly and with scarcely a hint of where it's going in the net.
Below, watch via Sportsnet YouTube channel,
Maple Leafs sniper Phil Kessel has one quick release and a mighty shot, which he displayed twice in a rout over the Bruins, so we thought we'd look back at a couple beauties from the past couple of years.
