If Kassian was scoring 100 points a year, he could shoot heroin up his ass with a rocket launcher, and I wouldn't care.
But he's been demoted back down to the minors for christ sakes. You think Hodgson, or any other bright, young , up and coming star player is doing that kind of stuff these days? I highly doubt it, especially if they're struggling as much as Kassian is.
So I don't know whats been reported but apparently my buddy saw him at Celebrities a couple of weeks ago so that would kind of fit with his lifestyle problems that they were talking about on 1040 today. Injured yet still partying is a decent reason to be sent down..Not trying to start anything..just saying what I heard.
Yes.
You're being very naive. Do a google search for 'richards dry island.' Jeff Carter, Mike Richards were partyharty in Philly. Simmonds and Doughty were another dynamic party duo for LA. I doubt much has changed with all three in LA. Patrick Kane is another one.
Young people do this ****. He's only 22 and he'll figure out when the time and place is for shenanigans.

Going clubbing a couple of nights a week is par for the course for that age.
We've all been there.
It's not a big deal at all. Perhaps management felt a stint in the minors would be an attitude check as well, and that's normal too.

When they get sent down to the minors for it, then we have something comparable to talk about.
I'm 24 and I can confirm that most people my age that aren't complete shut-ins or religious zealots do drugs.
Posting potentially libelous stories about people without a source isn't acceptable.
Second time tonight it's happened, it's a safe bet infractions will come by the bucketload if it happens again.

Don't see what the issue is, really, as long as he's not getting trashed. Young players party. It's only out of sorts here because nearly every Canuck on the team is a family guy. If his back is funky... just don't dance?
Agreed. Things are getting blown out of proportion here, he is still fairly young.

pretty much all nhl players party in some form or another...willie mitchell was one of the biggest party animals the canucks had and yet he was always lauded as a character guy and team leader
kassian worked real hard in the offseason and fitness wasn't an issue when the season started in chicago and vancouver...letting him know that he's not entitled to a top-9 position prior to the playoffs is a pretty smart move to reinforce the work ethic he showed last summer

uh huh, sure. Yup.
Funny though, Gillis trades Hodgson over supposed attitude problems and Kassian ends up in the minors over stupid behaviour.
Not trying to stir the pot but I have heard that Hodgson doesn't even drink alcohol. So I don't think he'd be partying as some have said.
This isn't a knock against Kassian but comparing him to Hodgson is pretty unfair because Hodgson is an exception. That kid doesn't even eat junk food.
But anyways, the majority of young players party hard at night, that's just how it is. Most of the time its pretty benign and doesn't affect their play but sometimes it just causes distractions when it gets too extreme.
That's what happened with Richards, Carter, Lupul etc. when they were on the Flyers.
Hmph, I must hang out in the wrong places.
Honestly it's not that big of a deal, I don't see why him going out a few times a week merits demotion. His play does, though.
FWIW I am 21, single, not a shut-in, and I do no party 3 times a week. Although it is mid semester so there's that.

Looks like Kassian has been recalled and Sweatt demoted.

Still curious what Jensen staying means. The rules must've changed as I can't imagine them just deciding that he's ready otherwise.
I wonder if Kassasin going playing with twins or jensen will.......I guess we will know tomorrow is Schroeder returning to the wolves or staying up.......
Sedin Sedin Kassasin/jensen
Higgins Roy hansen?
Burrows Ebbert/Schroeder Kassasin/Jensen?

Could've been a paper transaction where they demoted and recalled him immediately to preserve his loan eligibility.
Also, to clear up what we were talking about earlier, Nonis mentioned in his press conference that the 4 recall rule is still in effect under the new CBA.
I am guessing that jensen stick with the club a while longer......a mod should change the title of thread
