  1. I'm so tired of all this Kassian hand wringing. Kid will be fine, I've seen him make some pretty awesome setups and passes... don't know who was talking about lack of hockey IQ - what?? yes he's made some dumb plays (penalty today, some bad hits) but I don't see him costing us goals regularly or being oh so weak on the backcheck or anything. He's also not suited for a 3rd line role. I'd rather see him on the 2nd line... and yes I know people will say he hasn't earned 2nd line minutes, fair, but it's a bit of a catch 22 at this point.

  2. Total sarcasm.

    During the intervie he:

    - states how the gophers have great skill, but have some sort of mental hurdle they can't get over right now.

    - is not bitter after dropping at the NHL draft, thankful that he landed in Vancouver

    - talks about the WJC team, complimenting returning players and offers his insight onto who he believes may be on his line.

    - said he wanted to stay in school because he values having university education ("a year or too"), just incase hockey does not work out in the long run. Also states that he wanted to bulk up a bit more, he's now around 180ish pounds.

    Pretty much it.

    Ohhhh ok. Yeah, I'd heard nothing but how good his character was so was a bit surprised by the post lol, but wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or not. Thanks for the clarification!

  3. You have to agree though..

    Without the Sedins... He is nothing... a third liner at best.

    yes... but it doesn't matter because he is exactly the type of player they need. he makes them better and they make him better and he can play at a 1st line level when he's with them, which is all that matters. therein lies the magic of the sedins :)
