Phil Kessel is having a Monday.
With the Pittsburgh Penguins dominating possession in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final yet still unable to score, frustrations boiled over for Kessel in the second period, as he was visibly upset after basically every shift he took.
And he wasn't too happy with Evgeni Malkin for not moving the puck on one of those shifts.
Malkin wasn't happy, either, as only Chris Kunitz separated him from Kessel on the bench, so he heard the rant, whatever it was. The exchange led to head coach Mike Sullivan having a word with Malkin:

The Penguins have one goal through five periods and change, so you can understand why they're upset.
