“I don’t even know what the hell is going on,” said Kassian, who hasn’t scored a goal in 21 games. “I thought I played well against Anaheim. I took the bad penalty but I was playing with emotion and I was trying to do the right thing. I played a good game against Buffalo and then that happens. So, honestly, I can’t tell you. I don’t know. I was if not more shocked than anyone.

“Am I frustrated? You guys have no idea how effing frustrated I am. But that’s the way it is. I’m not going to sit here and sulk. I just have to find a way. It’s no secret I need to start scoring goals and I need to be more consistent. I have two goals this year. I came in and I had high expectations… it’s tough to score when you’re riding the bike.”

definitely some merit to that

Don't really think he said anything wrong or unexpected there. That's pretty spot on, both about his short-term and long-term play this season. I'd be pissed and frustrated too.

Bad for trade value, though i am surprised that he posses enough intelligence to assess the situation for what it is

Doesn't sound like he's pouting or giving up on the team though, has a lot of piss and passion in what he's saying...gotta see how he comes back into the lineup with that

Islanders flossin the Fisherman Jersey tonight During Warmups

Up until like a year ago I felt I was the only person in the world who liked the fisherman logo/sweaters...

The tilted name and numbers were hideous on those guys, though

At this point I'm not even sure what the Canucks management want/expect out of Kassian. From what I've seen him play this year he certainly hasn't been as bad as some people made it out to be. I don't think anyone anticipated we were obtaining the next Neely when we acquired him. Just let the guy keep playing - I don't think he's been a liability, and there are far worse efforts I've seen from other team mates

P.S. @#$@#$ Quick, you are killing my fantasy team

King's road game is brutal.

For a while I hope. He is looking good and proving that we should dump some oldies and bring up some younger talent. How long will this last though? Who knows, but i like him in the lineup so far.

I want them to miss the playoffs this year. Not for the Canucks to have a better chance, but this way there would be no chance at a dynasty.

Did he tweet another pic of himself, topless, with Liberia's deficit piled up in cash on his coffee table?

Bet he was out partying last night with some local buds. Shame he cant play in his home town.

For actions today, apparently. Mind you, being at the Roxy, doing rails off the men's room toilet with Kassian and Chad Kruger after closing would technically qualify as "today"

The Queens D hung Quick out to dry all game.

Why the hell would higgins put the puck to an open corner instead of putting it to the point.
