Savage. There's no other way to describe it.
Phil Kessel took to Twitter on Wednesday night after the United States crashed out of the World Cup, and well, the rest is history:
Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog. Felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn't put my finger on it.

Kessel doesn't tweet often. This was only his third of 2016, and obviously his greatest of all time. And since the archive's so small, we took it for a spin. Here are the rest of Kessel's best tweets:
9. Bozak love
My buddy is back leaf nation
— Phil Kessel (@PKessel81) July 5, 2013
Math is hard, but 8.4 percent of Kessel's 177 tweets are about Tyler Bozak, according to our calculations, including the one above, on the day Bozak signed a five-year, $21-million contract with the Maple Leafs. They're besties for life.
8-5. The 6ix

Don't let anyone ever say that Kessel wasn't committed to Toronto.
4. The postseason
Playoffs leafs nation
— Phil Kessel (@PKessel81) April 21, 2013
Once upon a time, the Maple Leafs made the playoffs. Hard to believe, but it happened. Kessel notched four goals and two assists in seven games against the Boston Bruins, his former team, but we all know - and will never forget - how that first-round series ended.
3. Phil!
Phil!
— Phil Kessel (@PKessel81) July 21, 2013
Self-love is important. (Yeah, we know, the tweet was about Phil Mickelson. Whatever.)
2. Farewell
Saying goodbye is never easy. Not even on Twitter, where it can get real dusty:
I want to thank all of the Toronto fans for all the support you have shown me.I will miss you and this city and always consider Toronto home

1. Champion
Kessel's first tweet of 2016, and his first as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins said it all:
Thank you Pittsburgh and the fans for all your support! #gopens #StanleyCupChampions pic.twitter.com/5e2n55jBrC
