Post-Game Talk: Oilers defeat Canucks 5-2 (Santorelli, Hansen)

[Mr. Canucklehead]

@JSportsnet: No question...League is looking into Kassian/Gagner incident last night in Edmonton.

IMO, that's a bit silly. Accidental high-sticks happen all the time. This seems to be another case of the league reacting to the injury rather than the play.

Weise on Hall - Clear headshot, should be a review and possibly a suspension.

Kassian on Gagner - Unfortunate accident.

Lol that's ridiculous.

It's not like Kass threw his stick like a javelin at Gagner's face.

Broken jaws and missing teeth happen. What, are they going to suspend him for falling down and no having the best control over his stick?

Would be ironic if anything happens to kass. Remmeber when shanny 2 handed BMOs mouth and took out all his teeth?

Yup. When Morrison went down, Shanahan yelled at him that he didn't even touch him. Then Morrison turned and gave him a red smile.

Apparently, Shanahan cringed and said "Oh God, I'm so sorry".

The ref picked up his chiclets after the play had been whistled and also apologized to him for having missed it. Poor Mo.

As they should. I'd hope they look into every high stick that causes a player to be out for a significant period of time. Kassian should be fined at the very least.

Such bs, the ref saw the whole thing for **** sakes. Shanahan is a joke

Something tells me that our games this season vs the oilers are going to be ugly, especially with Eager running around. Weise is an idiot and should def. be suspended for that hit.

Yeah, there was bad blood already, there'll be more now.

Eager is insane. Like, clinically, I'm sure of it. He doesn't even need a reason to hate the Canucks, he'd just run around anyway.

Outside of Weise and possibly Bieksa, though, it's not like we have any regular skaters that can answer the bell.

That Kassian guy can chuck em too, just ask Eager

Kass? Sesito ?

Crap. Forgot Kass.

Kass? Sesito ?

I said that can play.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

I said that can play.

And Eager can?

Ya Eager is a nut. I won't be surprised if the Oilers pick up a big heavyweight.

 

[canuck4life16]

zack Kassasin made a mistake but not suspension worthy but I guess main board disagree.......

 

[SighReally]

They didn't review the hit by Nolan on Klesla but they're investigating the bloody high stick by Kassian?

Is this an actual joke?

Also enjoying the Oilers blogosphere blow up. **** like mc79hockey saying "Oilers coach should've said it was criminal" is actually amusing.

About the actual game, I don't think the Canucks actually practiced in depth their systems and plans before playing the Oilers (iirc, they had one practice going over them) so our powerplay looking absolutely terrible and bad defensive coverage at times could be chalked up to that. If this game happened at the end of the pre season I'd be pretty worried. Oilers had a solid system going on 5v5 and special teams so no surprise they won pretty easily.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

And Eager can?

I never said that. But the Oilers clearly have less of a compunction about playing talentless hacks (exhibit A - Eager) than the Canucks do.

If they aren't going to suspend for "accidental" skate cuts i.e. Cooke on Karlsson, I don't see how they can now justify suspending for "accidental" high sticks.

but the pens is a NHL favourite team........special treatment

I wonder if the Oilers will launch a forensic investigation into this matter if Kassian doesn't receive a suspension .....

Eh, Eager will do something stupid, get walked around by the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows and open up an opportune rush. It's not like we haven't embarrassed Eager before.

 

[Bgav]

Love how oilers fans hate kassian so much already haha

Oh jesus.

 

[RobertKron]

Still no excuse for playing badly.

Are you kidding? Yes, playing basically an entire roster of bottom sixers, AHLers, and worse against a mostly complete NHL roster is certainly an excuse for why the game went badly. Sure, sports movies have led us to expect some beer league team to go out there and win against a team of pros because they "want it more" or whatever other ********, but that's not real.

I double dog dare you to go onto the main board and say this

Lets not get carried away....its the Oilers.
