Phil Kessel had good reason to break his Twitter silence.
The Pittsburgh Penguins winger hadn't published a thought on the social media website since thanking Toronto fans for the support showed to him over the course of his tenure as a Maple Leaf.
297 days later, he's thanking Pittsburgh fans on the day he and the rest of the Penguins paraded the Stanley Cup through town.
Thank you Pittsburgh and the fans for all your support! #gopens #StanleyCupChampions pic.twitter.com/5e2n55jBrC

With Father's Day coming up, perhaps he'll match the third tweet down on his timeline.
Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there especially my mother love ya
