Watermelons Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I don't see how that's bad logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Well, for players who have proven year after year that they can step up their game in the playoffs (Lapierre for example) I would agree. But if we are talking about Kassian I don't think that's a good enough reason to assume that he will step up. Everyone here last year was talking about how we were "saving energy" and going to step up in the playoffs because "it's the playoffs" were proven wrong when the Canucks got defeated in the first round. That being said, I hope Kassian does step up in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Everytime I see him with the Sedins he just stands infront of the net, I think Sedins just aim for his stick while he stands there. Not trying to bash but I wanna see him play with Roy and Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahf149 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Kassian isn't doing well now but he is going to step up in the playoffs. Logic: He is going to do so because it's the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 He better step it up, or he will lose his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Kassian is built to be more effective in the playoffs. He'll be determined to finish his checks out there, and in a 7-game series, that won't be fun for any opposing team. He's a Canadian kid, and he knows the importance of the post-season.

ilduce39 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think he'll do well in the playoffs. Why? Because we will need him to do well in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 if Kassian AKA "Doug Glatt" could play with the heart and passion of Lappy there would not be a problem. If Lappy had the size of Kassian my word look out. To think he is a top 6 man on this team is a joke. Can we trade Zack for Matt Kassian? If we could have kept, Tanner Glass, Raffi or Volpatti we would not need Kassian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Lappy is an unintimidating mouthpiece wannabe that takes idiotic penalties at idiotic times. Hes lucky AV has a la crush on him so he has a career.... Everybody is on his wagon cos he scored in a shootout.....cos shootouts win playoff games.

nuck nit Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 ...there are some players who play better in the playoffs than they do in the regular season ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Agreed. However,last year showed Kassian completely sucked.Let's hope that he doesn't suck as bad as he did last year-this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I feel Kassian will pick it up. He has the tools and make-up for the NHL playoffs. This is why Gillis targeted him. Like a few others have posted, he is still figuring things out. When he does figure it all out, we will have a monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I do like Kas, but I can't see him making an impact this season. He's where I figured he would be when the season started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Because why would they risk it now, in virtually meaningless games? All they had to do was get in the playoffs, they didn't have to crash in. Not flip a switch....save the extra for when it's needed. I do believe they've learned something from the past when they've given it 110% PRIOR to the playoffs, only to acquire injuries and be depleted before the duration. I think the mentality is "just do what's necessary" then give it all you've got - when it counts. Does that not make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupisAll Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 somebody needs to sit Kass down with video of all of Raffi Torres hits from the 2011 playoffs and tell him that's what this team needs from him.if he plays that way he will make an impact.
