Well... of course any corporate involvement is going to have ulterior motives, that's a no brainer.

he gets booed because hes good. and gets under the opponents skin

hes of course not a big of an asshole as Chris Pronger, but he was likewise booed in every rink but his current team at the moment. and he is damn good

I don't think him being a good player or his ethnicity have anything to do with being booed. Its his personality.

Hes a metrosexual douchebag where everywhere he goes and everything he does he has to be center of attention. If you ever watch in depth interviews on the guy, you would probably question if the guy jerks off in front of the mirror...

That being said hes a good person for his charity and work around the community.

MTL asks Kassian not to report to AHL affiliate. Looks like they're done with him, and seems like he's done playing in the NHL

Lots of prospect watching today! USA v Canada at 10am pacific

Kassian... What a dumbass.

anyone else still think trading Kassian was a mistake? heh

No

mehhh...

anyhow.. world jr game is fantastic

best hockey we have seen all year!!

Fuuuuuck

It's speculated he's being traded, hence not reporting to the AHL.

Didnt bruins want him? Would help rejuvenate his career to beat up the habs and canucks lol

Bergevin is pissed with him. If he gets traded, this is likely his last shot in the NHL. He better smarten the hell up and make it count.

Canucks hem the Oilers in their zone for 2 full shifts, Weber makes a stupid move, results in the puck coming out, then Weber lazily skates back for the puck, gets beat by RNH, RNH goes in on a breakaway, and Weber forces himself to take a penalty :facepalm:

Weber has always been garbage at defending lol

Lol I'm actually curious what the Habs can get for Kassian.

Hank can't take faceoffs...the injury bug is real

Difference this year is Weber is garbage in all 3 zones yet he's still being given 19.5 minutes/game; more than Hutton, Sbisa, and Bartkowski.

Somehow WD has decided Weber is our #4 dman :badpokerface:

0g, 4a, -9, 19.5 TOI/G in 27.7 games for an "offensive" dman :rukidding:

On the plus side, Baertschi and Vey have each been winning some puck battles lately.

Lol the missed chances are ridiculous
Grade A ones too
This game is easily 5-1 canucks if they converted at least a quarter of those missed shots

3-on-3 win? Is this real life?

Merry Christmas to us?

hopefully Pedan gets more minutes, liked his toughness... reminded me of when Kenins burst on to the scene hitting everything in sight

Markstrom up to 92.4% Sv% :notbad:

Pedan played really well tonight and made some big hits. Let's hope he gets more opportunity to play. We are lacking toughness in D so I am sure he can help out in that department.

Markstrom's 'style' now reminds me a lot of young Luongo when we first got him, except that Markstrom starts off deeper in the crease than young Lu. Kind of tall, lanky, over commits at times and has to make acrobatic saves to compensate, which at times makes him look like a better goalie than he actually is. It would be amazing if you could match Markstrom's body to Miller's poise/mentality.

It was trading FOR Kassian that was the mistake.
