Kassian just got his assss kicked by Staubitz. He took 2 real solid shots on the button. But he showed he can take a punch at least.

Staubitz is a legit NHL tough guy. Kassian did his job by challenging him after he had taken a couple of runs at the Sedins. Over time Kassian's game will come together. He has shown he has all the tools, it's a matter of consistency and maturity.

Smart move by Kass, as Canucks fans were probably starting to wonder what they had traded for. Funny reaction at 0:50 will help warm the crowd up to him.

I noticed that too. He certainly didn't seem to mind too much getting the worst of it, did he? Reminds me of a couple other tough guys who used to be Sabres property, Brad May and Jeff Cowan. Both of them seemed to relish getting hit. Granted, May generally did more giving than receiving.

So I was watching highlights on the NHL network last night and for some idiotic reason they compared Jagr coming back from Russia to Lemieux coming back from cancer.

Russia ... cancer ... what's the difference really? :doh:

OMG - didn't realize he had the same number as Connolly - that's the kiss of death right there.

 

I can clearly recall fans writing that "Connolly is (was) the cancer killing the Sabres. " Shows how beloved he was. :lol:

It's weird to think about, but Ottawa may actually overtake Boston for the division. I know Boston has 2 games in hand, but their lead is down to 2 points and they're just playing mediocre hockey. This would have seemed impossible back in December/January.

Malkin just clobbered Johnny Boychuk. Somewhere Vanek is smiling.

 

It would be more productive if Vanek tried to emulate Malkin there instead of just smiling.

Boychuk or Lucic? Seriously, upon whom would you want revenge, if you could have it on one and only one?

 

 

Me: Boychuk. Did it twice, to Vanek both times, and one was in the playoffs.

I agree, I seem to remember that at the time of that particular playoff play we had a 1 game to none lead, and a 2-0 game two lead. We still may have blown it, who knows, and that team wasn't going anywhere, but you still wonder what would've happened had vanek been healthy the whole series.

Boychuk was quoted the last Sabres game that Vanek "wasn't paying attention." Vanek's fault. He's a $7 million floater.

I didn't see the game, but Vanek a floater?!

 

Nice Otzi, by the way.

I'm with ya. He also broke Mason Ramond's back.

check out the fourth paragraph. funny how the view from Vancouver's side is different than that of Buffalo's.

 

clearly Kaleta could do nothing about that play and was trying to stop.

 

I beg to differ but ping-ponging the d-man into the goalie seems to be one of Kaleta's signature moves. He did it to Chara a few weeks back and the big goon came back to flatten him.

As soon as Roy is gone, Hodgson will change his #.
