schneider Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 No point of him hitting players for the remainder of the season. Look what happened to Rome. Last night, Rome delivered a clean hit. Avalanche went after him until he got injured. If that is the result for Kassian to be throwing his weight around, I would rather have him save it until playoffs. Can't risk any more injuries especially Kassian, who we don't have any players to cover his role aside from Lappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCammer Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm sorry to inform you, but now that Raymond has started to come into his game, CDC is going to need a new whipping boy, unfortunatly for you, you're next in line. Please don't let the "Trade him for a bag of pucks" and the "He's worthless" and the "his time is better spent in the pressbox" comments bother you as a large majority of CDC posters don't really know alot about hockey. It could be argued that some of them have actually gone full retard. For most of us fans you are a welcomed addition and look forward to watching you grow into the power forward we all know you're going to be. Sincerley Anyone who knows squat about hockey.

raymond5 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Dale Weise is by far the worst player in the lineup. Not Zack Kassian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Dear Kassian fans and MG has way over valued you they expect you to be as good as Cody Hodgson and it was calm.... until Hodgson started getting points, come one people did you really expect Kassian to be worth Cody Hodgson? f off we lost the trade move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The kid is only 21 years old. By next years playoffs i will expect much more from him. He needs to get comfortable here and get settled in. A good spirited tilt with Kyle Clifford might do him wonders tomorrow night. Or he could get destroyed and that could shatter any confidence he previously had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This is really AV's last kick at the can in my books. He has been outclassed and out coached in the past three years in the playoffs. I won't really crawl awy from it because he is the most frustrating player to watch. As soon as he signed for that contract I knew the expectations on these boards would be somewhat ridiculous and Raymond wasnt going to be a 50 pt player. Heck I really liked him playing the third I still prefer him on the third. He is one of the better bottom 6 forwards in the league. Thats what he is good for.

VforVasili Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I think "teenagers" is generous but yes to the latter point. unless i'm missing something, i've never understood, the whipping boy theory....does having a whipping boy, make our team better, or is it strictly for the amusement of some bored teenagers?

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Kassian plays a straight-line style of game. He'd be best with Kesler, but right now Kesler has too many suitors with Higgins and Booth a perfect trio, and Burrows now spending time with him too. Instead, play him with Henrik and Raymond and just leave him in front of the net. AV bumped him off the top line after half a game, give the kid more opportunity. Worst case scenario, this guy ends up on a line with Bitz and Lapierre in the playoffs and we have the toughest line in the NHL going into the playoffs. This is the line that goes out there and wears down opponents, especially defencemen, so that in a 7-game series their bodies are more bruised than ours come that crucial Game 7.

ice orca Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 the hodgson fan boys will bring their whips after every game. eventually they will slowly migrate to the sabres board. most of the young ones are not fans of the canucks but of 1 player, it happens in every fan base..nhl 12 is all knowing.

RUPERTKBD Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I feel a bit bad for Kassian. He's forever going to be compared to Coho, which isn't really fair IMO as they are different kinds of players. Hodgson is always going to have more offensive skill than Zack and unfortunately, a lot of people will look at nothing besides offensive production when weighing the merits of the two players. Hopefully Kassian will turn into the type of power forward that everyone hopes and this trade will be good for both teams. For this to happen however, Canuck fans will have to be patient. (i know. Good luck with that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
