Jonathan Toews makes ‘uncoachable’ joke about Phil Kessel

Unlike the last All-Star draft, Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel did not become the last player picked in 2015. Not only did he miss out on a free car, but he got to be the butt of his captain’s jokes.

Kessel spent the last month of the season under fire by Toronto media for being “uncoachable”, so naturally Jonathan Toews used that as a hilarious joke during the NHL All-Star Draft.

Boom. Drop the mic, Toews.
