  1. That's basically it in a nutshell. It's unfortunate that Kass never got to benefit from the new trainers and other kinds of support that was brought in when Pegula bought the Sabres. Now that he has picked up his defensive game and his skating speed, CoHo is becoming a pretty good all around second line center. Canucks fans who were neutral about Cody predicted that exactly. He will never be a "superstar", but he is progressing very well. Both teams got what they needed and wanted and the CoHo/Kass swap turned out to be a fair trade.
  2. I've said it before and I still believe it to be the case, Kassian's training was mishandled here in Buffalo as well as Portland, and in Rochester. Darcy Regier was a poor GM who developed a bad habit of chewing up his young player's progress. Look at Grigorenko as proof. Realistically the clock started ticking when Kass landed in Vancouver. That's one of the reasons why I firmly believe a bridge contract is in everybody's best interest. Let him earn his money and his pay. If he pans out then great, if not then the Canucks won't be stuck with him for too long of a period of time.
  3. Kass should get a 2-3 year bridge contract. Give him too many years and too much money all at once then there's a very real chance that he could get complacent, a la Tyler Myers. Make the man work for his money.
  4. I wouldn't say it mattered more, but the teams were more evenly matched than the mens.
  5. tbh, even with the outcome, the women's gold medal game was more fun to watch. I'm a bit surprised.
  6. No worries. I'll be rooting for Canada in the gold medal game of course.
  7. You were just waiting for that, weren't ya... lol
  8. *Sigh* There's always the Bronze I suppose.
  9. Just a bit bummed is all... The game is already over.
  10. USA needs to get a body in front of the freakin' net instead of playing "cycle the puck until you lose it"...
  11. Condiments have nothing to do with mounting comebacks.... lol The word you want is muster.
  12. Team USA isn't playing the same kind of game that they did during the previous games. It's frustrating to watch.
  13. It's frustrating watching it. They need to play a little dirty. Shoot then crash the net. With a short D bench though that's easier said than done.
  14. Team USA has got to stop playing "run and gun" hockey. Unless Quick has a great game, the results will not favor them.
  15. Team USA is playing not to lose while Canada is playing to win... Not good for Team USA.
  16. I have to be careful with how much I post today. My posting during yesterday's game chewed a big bite out of my 100 post limit.
  17. Does the UK look like a dog's pink thing in this map, or is it just me?
