It was tied at the time and then Calgary scored on their 4 minute powerplay to take the lead for good. Should've been a 5 minute major on Kass. This is allowing Tkachuk to be effective. This is why I said earlier that Kassian's nuclear deterrent is himself. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Passive 2011 Canucks is what CDC wants to see...dont stand up for yourself your star players will end up getting targeted and eventually injured. The scoring on the PP excuse is piss poor. Canucks lost the Cup playing that way, sure hope we don't do the same next time we make the playoffs. Stand up for yourself, your men protect yourself and your teammates. Man the F up imo dont be a coward and say oh we will get you back on the PP 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have now gone 18 consecutive games without outscoring the opposition in the 2nd period while being outscored 27-9 over that time. I find that to be an amazing statistic. Anyone care to offer up a reason for this anomaly? My theory would be in game adjustments from the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Kass, so it was too bad he cost his team there. What’s costing the team is mgmts ineptitude. A one line team will win nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but in the small picture that did cost his team two points. Still, it was fun to watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you let players do that without any retaliation....well CDC knows all to well what the outcome looks like! Props to Kassian for doing that, he would have jumped him if that hit was on his teammate too. Tkachuk made a clean hit, it was targeted tho and he knew that Kassian wasn't going to see the hit coming. It is dirty to make a play like that so the reaction was over the top but it set the tone that it won't be tolerated. Baby Tkachuk needs to man up if a guy is unhappy about being hit he may have to drop the gloves with a bigger, tougher opponent. Turtling like the Rat makes you look like a coward imo Imo the turtle was so bad he MT could have got himself hurt. At some point you at least have to but your hands up and defend yourself. Turning your back, going limp with your hands down is potential brain damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that is the single biggest negative in every game over the last 10. Not only in the losses, but also in the wins, they often looked loose. They stand still in their own end . Its frustrating to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtling like the Rat makes you look like a coward imo Players do that because they know that Kassian will lose his $&!# and be penalized. As long as he continues to retaliate at big hits, other players will continue to do it. Edler did the same in the Canuck game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a suspension (I sure hope not) It was a clean hit ( who wouldn't want more Canucks hitting) Love Kassian throwing him around and using him as a rag doll, I doubt Tzachuk saw a thing, it happened so fast It was a fighting penalty Flames won Case closed imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If Kassian didn’t respond Tkachuck would’ve kept trying to hit him with malicious intent that could’ve easily led to a concussion . I am actually surprised Kassian didn’t have leave the game for protocol. Does the league have any suggestions on how to politely stop a guy from repeatedly trying to knock you out of the game ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -DLC- Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 I really love the fact that Kass is smiling...he's not malicious (wherein I feel Tkachuk may be?) ... he's just having a helluva good time playing hockey. And, after the work he's done, my hat's off to him. There's such a lack of this now that it's resulting in dirty players getting away with stuff and injuries that come by that. We need more of it. He didn't help his team in the moment..but overall he likely does. I'm conflicted, but all the signs point to this is how it needs to be done. Even if he "cost" the team (he did). What's the cost when you don't step up? 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure no one on the oilers were upset Kassian took the penalty. Dangerous players like Tkatchuk need to go. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
