Phil Kessel Visits Antonio Albino
This is a story from January that I came across in the FTB this morning. Antonio Albino is a four-year old that is fighting Leukemia and he's a huge Leafs fan so Phil Kessel - who survived a battle with testicular cancer - made a special appearance at his birthday.

Yeah, lost battle.

This video, and what Kessel did for this little guy, is amazing. It shows that he is a really solid person, no matter how little of a personality it seems he has around the camera. I’m sure this little kids parents are thrilled that he did this for them, and their son. Toronto is lucky to have a guy like this around.

You know, I really like that they didn’t even mention Kessel until 2/3 of the way through. It was a story about the kids instead of a story about the celebrity.

Kessel’s cool like that. I think he’s done a lot for cancer charities, but very not much about it gets talked about.

Yeah he and the team do a lot of this. I like that Burke has made it a priority. And MLSE as a whole uses it as a pillar of their corporate platform.

Between things like this and Burke's support for the gay community...
It’s very easy to say that I’m as proud to be a fan of this organization as I’ve ever been.

You’d rather have it yourself than a young kid.
Classy remark from Phil there.
The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
