kesler#17 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 “@anguscertified: #canucks fans - meet the new and improved Zack Kassian. Down almost 20 pounds from last season: http://t.co/AHnrRKm0 #training” Just saw this on twitter and was Retweeted by Pass it to bulis. This is great if your a Canuck fan or even just a Kassian fan. Hopefully he'll be able to be quicker in his skating like he was for Canada in the world juniors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanEberle Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Great news, hopefully he puts some muscle back on as the season progresses so he is a force come playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm thrilled about the commitment. I hope he can prove the trolls wrong this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That's pretty impressive, lunge jumps are so painful. Looks like he's going to be pretty explosive, and better prepared to play 20mins a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Do we want a powerforward losing weight? I thought his skating was great for a big guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_fo_life Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 My buddy who is best friends with Prab Rai told me about this Saturday night. It was actually an ex coworkers boyfriend who I now keep in contact with, but he's a childhood friend of Prab Rai and his brother, he said Kassian's been skating in Langley with Prab Rai, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrooke, Jason Garrison and a couple other prospects, and yes, has lost 20 pounds. I have high hopes for Kass, and I think this will bring a new element to his game, speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Fatigue Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 muscle weighs more than fat ladies and germs. so if he lost 20 pounds of fat and kept all his muscle- kudos. and lets hope he adds some more lean bulk while hes at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That's what I thought. So we finally acquire the powerforward we need, and then we tell him to lose weight cause he's too big? Didn't we try that with Bernier and he got alot worse? Not every player has to fit into the skilled fast mold of our other players. Seems to me Penner does alright for himself at 240. So did Bertuzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He'll tag on some muscle soon, bump him up 5-10 pounds: 6'3", 215 pounds, speed will be much better now...seems like its gonna help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Nothing quite as intimidating as, "I've lost 20 pounds! Grrrrr!" First the shave, now this. Soon he'll have his gap permanently filled too. (If that's not already done.) We're taking this supposed 'untamed beast' of a player and turning him into another generic clone. I remain unimpressed.
