Salmonberries Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 This extra minor league seasoning is a working wonders for Kassian. The lockout year back in 04-05 really allowed some big time players to blossom in the AHL and it could be happening again to our kid here! His confidence must be sky high right now, he is really excelling at the AHL level. I know it's early, but I can't see how we don't make out alright with that trade here, especially considering Kassian is a full year younger than Hodgson.

Jai604 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Kassian is shutting all the uninformed haters right up. Have not been worried about him since we traded for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Alexandre Mallet: B+ - I think he could be our Andrew Shaw, he was very impressive tonight, not just the fight and the big hit, but on the ice he was flying, agitating, and really was everywhere aswell, one of those guys that really stood out tonight, it was great to see him has some shifts with better players as the game went along..

White Goodman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'm very excited about Mallet, he looks like he could fit into our NHl lineup within a few years. I also think that Kassian was great, and will benefit from play AHL for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 i think 5 games in 8 days (vs 4 in 9 for the heat) started to take their toll, but the wolves have struggled in the 3rd all season (for what little season there has been so far) they have 5 days off, so they'll get some much needed rest, regroup, and come out swinging next weekend.

WiDeN Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I was so happy to have hockey on my TV. What awesome games. Kassian has been great, and King of the BS is no where to be found. That's two birds with one stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That's kind of the problem. In the NHL there are more tight checking teams, esp in the W. conference. Every season we see more teams adopting this type of system. If he's having trouble creating room for himself in the AHL, there's a good chance it'll be magnified in the NHL. In a dream world you'd flank him with 2 big wingers, but the Canucks don't have an abundance of them on their current roster. You can design icetime for young guys, but it's a lot more challenging if he can only play with a certain style of player. It's limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Didn't see the games but from the interviews sounds like the fans were really supportive of our boys, which is great to see. Crowd chanting Eddie Eddie, seems to have put a smile on Lack's face. Those things matter, when these young guys know that fans in our city are cheering for them, want them to be successful, can only help in their motivation to not only make the club, but also to stick around when things get tough. Glad to hear such positive comments from Arneil on Kassian and Lack, good coach, pumping up the tires, of the young potential stars of the future.

elvis15 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Kassian vs some Defenseman - Kassian laid a hammering into him Mallet vs some scrub after wrecking another kid - Mallet fed him some nice punches to the face, beauty win Pinnizotto vs Breen* - Even for the first bit, Breen* is 6'7 230 though and ended up with the win One fight that should have happened but didn't was Joslin vs Aliu, they were getting into it all game pretty much but never dropped the mitts.

TOMapleLaughs Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Schroeder isn't exactly taking advantage of the Kesler opportunity, is he? It's nice that Kassian is playing well at the moment, but who's gonna center him if he makes the bigs? I suppose the lockout will ensure a healthy Kesler when they're back anyway.

diesel_3 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Pretty painful game to watch for the most part except the hits/tilts. Kassian is a beast, he has that big play ability that it always feels like he is going to make something happen when he is out there, that is good to see...his confidence in this position with the Wolves is going to do his NHL game wonders. I am so excited about Mallet, strong skater, hits like a truck and just seems to have it in his DNA to be a very strong bottom 6 type guy, In a few years he is going to help anchor a very pesky and hard hitting Canucks bottom 6. It's a lot of fun watching Canucks prospects! Never saw much of Connauton previously to this game and he seems so poised out there, throws the body, can carry the puck and has a great shot!

NuckMan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Brutal 2nd and 3rd periods by the Wolves. Really liked Kassian and Mallet tonight. Pinizotto was a no-show AND he got fed by the big fella. Connauton was a no-show in the offensive zone. Oh and that goal (I think Rodin sniped it) should have counted in the first period just before the Kassian marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
