Miscommunication makes for excellent live television.
Following a Game 3 win for the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, NBC analyst Pierre McGuire asked Phil Kessel about his breath.
The thing is, he wasn't trying to offer Kessel an Altoid, but rather ask about how he felt after a grueling contest.
Kessel's reaction is straight up delightful.
