Newsflash, your post is completely irrelevant to what I said. It’s just you complaining more...so maybe it is relevant because you’re proving my point for me.

4 game winning streak and you disappear only to throw in the odd negative comment. Then the team loses a game and you’re the most active poster here. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I’m on vacation. Sorry that just happened to coincide with last nights win. I’ll try and schedule my vacations around the many lengthy losing streaks we’ve had next time.

It’s the ebbs and flows of the season. They have points in 8 of their last 9 games and nothing has changed. This team still needs upgrades at forward and defense. This hot stretch doesn’t change that at all. It’s great that they’re playing better but they needed to man up much earlier than this.

If this team needs a perfectly healthy defense to stay competitive then hoo boy do I have news for you.

You can see what even a little bit of secondary offensive help does for this team ... Gagner is not even that great of a player, but he's generally good for one or two OK plays a game ... but it's so noticable on this team because it's a literal desert outside of McDavid/Leon/RNH.

Zack Kassian?

Zack Kassian?

Prior to a few weeks ago he didn’t have a pulse.

so? he's on pace for a career year in goals

he's a productive player that is proving he can play with skill

I’m more concerned with the 18 month coma than the three weeks of good play. He better keep this up going into next year.

 

[CornKicker]

its weird how nuge-mcdavid-kassian has had 5 games together and they are playing great. its ALMOST like putting together lines and letting them build chemistry is a good thing?

I'll always have time for Kassian due to his capability to play up the lineup and his physical presence. Not to mention he is hilarious

and because you need to have a certain level of crazy on your team especially in the playoffs. when things go off the rails having a top 5 maniac that isnt afraid to cross lines is essential. tom wilson/ryan reeves these players get better when the games get rougher and dirtier aka playoff hockey.

As much as I was supporting the full tank, it is important the team is playing meaningful games in March. We may be out of it by mid March or we might miss on the last day of the year by a point, but the fact the team is playing meaningful games is good for their psyche and helps building a positive culture and belief system. Yes there is the culture word, but winning breeds a positive culture, that is undeniable.

Just don't turn into the Arizona Coyotes or Florida Panthers who go on a March heater and fool the management into thinking that the team as it stands is good enough and "next year" they will break in. This team still requires serious work and depth.

But its fun to watch and way better than a seeing a death march to the end of the season.

he's playing some of his best hockey of his career and to still manage to find ways to crap on him...embarrassing

I’m crapping on him because he was a ghost after the playoffs ended. A little hot streak doesn’t suddenly erase that. If he keeps up this play going into next year then great. But Kassian has his reputation for a reason. If Hitchcock or whoever the next coach is slots him lower in the lineup, do you think he keeps this up?

He’s been playing good for two months now.

“A little hot streak” he’s been by far the most consistent winger since the new year.

That’s not saying much at all.

Unpopular opinion: I'd rather trade Larsson and keep Russell.

Russell is a warrior. Larsson likely has more value in a trade.

I know we need RHD more than LHD, but still.

Oh for sure, like this guy:

I knew you would say that. Doesn’t change the fact that your comment was wrong.

It took Kassian over a year to wake up. That doesn’t concern you? Do you think he keeps this play up going into next year?

you know, it's ok to be happy and positive for a player once and awhile
I know it hurt to be positive about something, but you should try it

He needs to prove it for more than 2 weeks. Hes been AWOL for the prior 18 months and has had looks with every centre.

I am really happy that Draisaitl is challenging for the Rocket. A player that gets far more abuse than Kassian.

 

[McJadeddog]

Be nice if our stars could hit empty nets

Drai would have 42 goals in his chase for the Rocket, and McDavid would have 2 more points in hist (likely futile at this point) change for the Art Ross.

so we can't be happy for him that he's playing well and producing?

Vancouver is not terrible. They got quite a few young upcoming players.

They’re 26th overall and have 3 decent players.
