Dubinsky out up to 2 months after Kassian’s punch.

Jackets were gooning it up in the third.
Don't get me wrong I hope Dubinsky is OK but you can't argue he wasn't trying to pick a fight.

Kassian didn't take a draw against Dubinsky. He jumped into the circle once the puck was dropped and they dropped the gloves. Obviously it's an ugly injury...but how did Kassian not get an instigating penalty with under 2 minutes left in the game?

What's that old saying? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes? Dubinsky wanted to run young guys in a blowout game, that's what happens.

Dubinsky was running around like an idiot last night. That's exactly why guys like Kassian are so effective.
Hope he has an easy recovery but got what he deserved.

Suddenly every Pitts fans favourite Oiler is Kass.

Because Dub dropped his gloves .001 sec before Kass did. Kassian deliberately waited so it wouldn't be instigator.
Although, no one likes to see someone seriously hurt....Hope he's ok.

Cause he didn't instigate it. The first punch was thrown by Foligno with his gloves on. Then Dubinsky and Kassian threw off their mitts

Agree with some of the above posters, The run at Draisaitl especially was super high and late. When I saw it in person I honestly thought Leon was going to be done for the game, atleast.
Jackets center depth was already atrocious with the way Wennberg has been playing and sedlak’s play since coming back from IR. It will be interesting to see if this forces Jarmo and co. to make a move.. finally.

Gotto give credit to Kassian . If you are gonna run Draisaitl or McDavid there should be a response. I wished someone on the pens would punch Dubinsky in the face when he was going after Sid
Instigating? They both dropped gloves at same time, no one forced Dubinsky to fight there
Yeah I saw this too. Dubs threw a punch at Kassian, dropped his gloves and Kassian followed suit.

yeah i feel like kassian could have been much more aggressive about this, he basically gave dubinsky a chance to plead his case and still gave him the jump.
unfortunate he's hurt but that's fighting right?

Ugh... sorta feel for him. He was outmatched.
Agree the Strome hit looks fine (unless there was a butt-end? ... not sure why the caption was "lays the lumber")
Also, cool to have the balanced input from CBJSTH who was at the game (and I assume) a CBJ fan.
Don't like to see people hurt, but if the Draisaitl hit was hard and high as suggested, then this is EXACTLY what a middle-weight like Kassian is here for. You can get away with one across the line hit, maybe, but don't continue to agitate when the score is lopsided (either way) and expect to come away without any push-back.
Anyone who's played knows there are avenues you can take, even after a borderline hit on the opponent's star player, which would avoid him getting tagged by Kassian. Dubi didn't take them obviously.

That hit on Strome was pretty dicey to be honest. Really close to being boarding. Lucky he didn't get hurt.

Dubinsky threw his gloves off first. You never want to see a guy get hurt in a fight but it is what it is.
Kassian could've maybe stopped after Dubinsky went full turtle.

I agree but I don't think Kassian realized he was hurt..just turtling..which usually upsets players more often than not.
