Phil Kessel thought NBC’s Pierre McGuire asked about his bad breath after Game 3

So awkward, but so great.

Live television can produce beautiful moments, but it also has its times of awkward miscommunication.

Sometimes that awkwardness creates unwanted tension, but in the case of this Pierre McGuire interview with Phil Kessel about the latter's conditioning after Game 3, it produced exactly the opposite reaction.
