Ryan Kesler scored two goals in the Ducks win over the New York Islanders this week. In his post-game interview, he said the performance was a “big middle finger” to those who doubted he would return to form after his surgery. Mike Coppinger of the LA Times asked Kesler how much he enjoyed proving his doubters wrong and he replied, “I love it. It’s my favorite thing in the world.”
