Tkucky signing the cheaper contract cause he knows he doesn't have to pay for housing. He's been living rent free in all our heads this off-season.

I wanted the Canucks to draft Tkachuk and when they passed on him I was livid. Seeing him live in the entire city of Edmonton's head makes me even more mad because it would be amazing to be in the spot you guys are in.

You may need to get a restraining order on that city though, they are obsessed with you guys.

There's something in the water in that city man.

Kassian has always been a loose cannon.

Neal's famous for dirty hits and lengthy suspensions.

Drai has had numerous dirty hits now (on Tkachuk, spear on Tierney, elbow on Krug)

Different draft, but the Canucks got plenty of redemption for that pick by selecting Pettersson 5th.

Funny thing is, Oiler fans wanted Kassian’s face beat in when he was a Canuck, now they back him to the end of the earth.

Good stuff.

You already know that Tkachuk is going to look for Kassian again next time. He did the same thing with Doughty.



Deep down, I bet Tippett regrets taking this job

Kassian is such a low IQ caveman muppet.

All he cares about is seeking revenge for getting blown up twice. I forgot that we're actually boxing and not playing hockey. I predict at minimum 14 PIM's next game for this idiot.

I don't think I have ever seen this level of butt hurt from a player/team before for clean hits. CLEAN HITS and there is this much outrage. It's just laughable.

I really wonder what all of this would look like if the Oilers won that game. It's likely we would be the ones whining about Kassian's dirty play rather than laughing because it gave us a win. :dunno:

Nah. Kassian’s lack of discipline directly hurt the Oilers chances in that game, however those same actions only helped our chances in that game. If we had lost, it would’ve been in spite of that help.

Kassian's comments since the incident have been comedy gold, too.

- He still hasn't acknowledged in any way that the incident benefitted the Flames and punished the Oilers. And he's doubled-down on the fact that he would do it again.
- After the game, he talked about how he's thrown those types of hits before, then after his hearing he claimed that he now knows he's allowed to throw those types of hits.
- He still apparently has no idea that Tkachuk got exactly what he wanted. He continues to suggest that what he did was a bad thing for Tkachuk.

It's amazing. :laugh:

He’s also got a good memory and when you listen to him talk, he sounds like he’s got the cognitive ability of a 10 year old.
