Toronto media has clearly missed Phil Kessel. In honor of the first meeting of Phil with his former team, twitter erupted in a flurry of mourn-phil tweets. Some of them were humorous, exactly like the kind of interaction that two exes have when meeting in public for the first time, and some of them were actually informative.

Here's a round-up of this morning's Phil tweets.

> First question to Kessel: "So, have you missed us?" His response: "Oh yeah, I've missed you guys." [#Pens](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Pens?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [#Leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Leafs?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
