I want my team's players to play honest, work hard, stand up for themselves and be strong character people. He doesn't measure up. He's a rat, head hunter, slimeball. I believe Juolevi will turn out to be a strong player if we're patient with him. The kid has had an unreal string of bad injury luck. Regardless I'm glad we didn't take MT with the draft pick. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Petey40 Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Why are people saying that was charging/boarding/dirty? It was a clean shoulder to shoulder hit. Watch the video the initial point of contact and brunt of the hit was Kassians shoulder. It also wasn’t boarding as Kassian hardly even touched the boards and hit the ice after the hit. I get that a ton of people don’t like tkachuk but that doesn’t make it a dirty hit. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need that toughness in the post season. Tkachuk is Marchand lite. Do some of you not remember 2011? We would have won the cup if we were able to match Bostons tenacity. WHATEVER it takes to win, even if its dirty. Blood on the ice equals cups. I know the league is going in a diff direction but it's still a contact sport and a pussy mentality will get you nowhere. I miss Zack Kassian Hey, I'm all for having someone like that on our team. Kassian just could've went about it better. He should've maybe done something after the first hit, or the second hit, or maybe just bit his lip and lined him up later. Getting 4 minutes in penalties and a 10 minute misconduct at the end of the 2nd period in a 3-3 game was really bad timing. It's going to make for a really fun rematch in two weeks after the all-star break. They have a back to back coming up! I would've loved to swap Louie for Lucic in the off-season. It's unfortunate that he's on the Flames now as Tkachuk is playing a foot bigger with him around. Flames got absolutely manhandled by the Oilers last few seasons when Engelland and Tanner Glass were their only tough guys (and it was fun to see Tkatchuk throwing fits on the ice haha) The league went away from the rough stuff during the regular season but anything goes in the playoffs. When we played against Vegas it was glaringly obvious that we don't have anyone on our team that can throw 'em. Engelland challenged our entire team and no one would go with him. Ferland is not the answer to anything, even if he comes back to full health. It was scary how small of a hit it took to stir up his concussion issues again. I hope that Ferland retires not because of the cap or anything like that, but because I don't want the rest of his life to be ruined by concussions.

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Another big game, Minnesota is going hard for the Wildcard spot and we're surprisingly close to them in the standings. Good to have Bo and Boeser on fire of late, hoping Boeser will have a monster game in front of his family. 6-2 Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're clean from that standpoint, I just don't know what the definition of a "blindside hit" is and if that enters into the conversation. He caught him from his blindside in two of those hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I wish Kassian luck. He's had a tough go of it. But I don't miss him in the least. Had Gillis done the smart thing and let everyone know that Hodgson was up for trade. He might have gotten a defensive prospect and a pick. It's pretty obvious with Hughes, having a high end D-man helps your scoring, and helps your team just as much as a forward. Maybe even more so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught him from his blindside in two of those hits. Then Kassian should probably keep his head up, what’s the difference between this and any other hit where a player gets caught with his head down? I’ve seen Canucks players make big hits by catching players with their heads down and everyone on here loves it. This is only getting so much hate because it’s tkachuk lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crabcakes Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 18 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Kassian doesn't get it. Tkachuk went after him 3 times because he knew that eventually Kassian would lose it. Kassian would respond the same way again he says. Tkachuk is smarter than he looks. He plays Kassian for a fool and purposely does not fight so they get the power play. "And we'll take the game winner and first place" This is pure gamesmanship. If a guy can't control his emotions, he's going to get picked on because he'll cost his team. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 There's a difference between a guy like Brashear. And a guy like Torres/Bowling Ball and Kassian. Brashear was controlled aggression. When he fought it was to stick up for his team mates. Not get upset at a clean hit. I like fiesty and spirited. But there's a line you cross when you've lost control of yourself and the situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
