Isn't gonna happen frenchie

I honestly don't expect any "retribution" tonight. I think the time for that was when Gaustad finally faced off with Lucic back in the first game here in Buffalo. Right now, they need to focus on winning games if they expect to make a miraculous push to the playoffs. What happened happened. Only thing they can do now is mix it up with other guys and get them off of their game.

I dont care if the Sabres win 20 in a row, we have to address the wuss issue, we need muscle, Kassian fits that bill..I would have loved to seen him in the line-up yesterday and drop Lucic

Kassian was lent to the AHL before that game according to yahoo.

And 20 days later he's a Vancouver Canuck

He seemed decent last night...sure he wasnt throwing around BIG hits but he did throw 5 hits last night... generated chances most definitely...

Almost tucked in a goals from a nice pass by henrik.


Can anybody think of a better power forward prospect?

Jamie benn? Not really a prospect.

There is lots of em.

I can see already Kassian is going to get the Hodgson treatment - "He's the bestest ever in the whole world. Best in the universe. He's the greatest power forward ever to live".

The comparisons to Lucic give me fits of hysterical laughter.

How the hell would any Canadian hockey nut have not heard about him?

He is not comparable to Lucic. Not a chance.

You realize at this point in Lucic's career, he was already into his second full NHL season right? Putting pucks in the net, and pounding the hell out of the other team.

I still think the trade was a stupid one for the Nucks.

Kassian could either be a solid second line winger, or he can turn into another Raffi Torres. Too much of a risk to give away a sure-fire guy like Hogdson.

It's funny that 80-90% of the hockey world disagrees with you on both guys.

yeah, and a total no show in the playoffs...just saying, Kassian will have a better career than that goon

Lucic was a no show? I wouldn't say that at all.

I think so too, as an NHLer. It's just a matter of what role he plays.

You know what else is a sure thing? Lulolongo and the sisters choking in the playoffs.
