The Penguins are off to a great start this postseason as they try and become the first team to win back to back Stanley Cups since the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998.

Although they lost Game 4 to the Blue Jackets on the road, the Pens are back home for Game 5 Thursday night with another chance to close out the series.

One of the main reasons why the Penguins are up in this series is goalscoring.

Everyone seems to be contributing offensively, including Phil Kessel who has five points (one goal, four assists) in four games.

It's no secret Kessel is one of our favourite players, but we're not alone as this young Pens fan not only seems to be a fan of Phil, but he actually wants to be Phil.

 

All kinds of adorable.

 

This isn't the first unique Kessel thing we've seen this week, either.

The love for Phil is real, especially when the playoffs come around as he's averaging nearly a point-per-gam in his postseason career for the Penguins.
