Kassian as a hockey player


KelVintage

Recommended Posts

No vision. Can't skate faster than an average person at the local rink. No hands. Poor decision-making skills. Big body but doesn't use it effectively. He is almost completely useless out there.

I can't believe Gillis traded Cody Hodgson for this plug.

Hodgson: 44 games - 14 G - 17 A - 31 P - minus 2 (82 game season - around 50-60 points, no sophomore slump here!)

Kassian: 35 games - 6 G - 3 A - 9 P - minus 7 (82 game season - around 15-25 points)

Just awful....Both play 15 to 20 minutes a night, well they did for the first half of the season, Kassian has been demoted to the third line because of his awful play.

Yes, I know that Hodgson is awful at playing defense as well but he can't possibly be worse than Kassian. Zack will keep getting chances and playing time, much like Edler, because Gillis doesn't want to admit that he made a mistake. Pathetic.

I hope both Gillis and A.V. are fired before the start of the next season. A.V. poisoned the well before Hodgson was ever settled. They closed the window for a Stanley Cup themselves...what a travesty. Not saying Cody would have been our savior but he would have been an ideal 3rd-line centre and pushed Kes to play better. Nothing makes a player work harder than a young guy nipping at his heels. Kassian will never be the guy that management wants him to be. Too lazy. What a damn shame.

Still whining about Cody???

Cody's not here because he didn't want to be a third line center. Hence him, his father, and agent hounding MG and AV about ice time. Nothing annoys a GM more than a rookie whining about his role. Kassian is 22. The word "never" can't exactly be used in reference to what he can become. Particularly after a whopping 52 games here. Your magic 8 ball just isn't that accurate.

Who cares if he does his job....which this season alone is almost triple of what Kassian has been able to.

This is what I was talking about when I said that we tend to get too "emotional" on this website.

Do you honestly think Kobe was a "great" person to be around? No, but he wins championships. Obviously Hodgson isn't about that life, but he puts up numbers and can act that way if he pleases.
