Back in form

Boston’s Phil Kessel, who had the scare of his young life earlier this season when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, seems to be settling back into the hockey life these days.

One of the first players to leave the hotel this morning, he passed the time waiting for the bus to leave by kicking back, reading USA Today and signing this autograph.

“I’m doing pretty good, thank you,” he said. “Everything seems to be OK.”

For the record, the card is from ITG's 2006-07 Heroes and Prospects set.
