A couple of years ago, I bet a co-worker that Kessel wouldn't score 40 goals. He had 37 that year. The guy I bet wrote a script that sent me a text message whenever Kessel scored. Drove me nuts. I think he got something like 1 goal in the last 12 or something like that. I got the guy's 10 bucks that year and this year I bet him again. Waddaya think? Did I make a good bet or a bad one? I've loved the Leafs since 1967 but when they got that arsehole from Bastan, and then *WORSE* gave him an 8 million/year 8 year contract, I quit cheering for them (Note: the Leafs are paying 1.25 million per year to *not* have Kessel on their team. Dollars to Donuts that was Babock). I was *delighted* when they got rid of Kessel and I've always held that he was a good second or third line winger, but that he'd never score 40 in his life. What do you think?

He's on pace for 32 goals this year, about what he had in TO.
