NostalicForTheEighties wrote on Fri, 14 February 2020 07:20 | Hi everyone. First time post for me but I been following the forum for a little over a year. I've never felt the need to post on a comment before as many of you already say exactly what I've been feeling watching the Oilers ups and downs. But after watching Kassian deliver a skate blade kick to.thr sternum of a fellow player I just couldn't sit silent anymore. Kassian cost us the game against Calgary when he pummeled an unwilling tkcahuk. Many of us believe it was his God given right to do so after those three hits. Last night's actions are totally unjustified and damn right dangerous. Kassian is a neanderthal who has no purpose in the modern game after this stunt. As a professional hockey player in the greatest league in the world he has to be able to control his impulses better than a seven year old brat on the ice or a drunken buffoon in some beer league game. I rank this play right up there when that jackass Kyle Sheen delivered that disgusting head shot to Ryan Smith (another Edmonton legend sorely missed) in that final a few years back. I'd say demote Kassian to the minors as penalty for his immaturity and lack of human decency but I don't think any punishment will get through that thick skull into his peanut sized brain. Very sad to see this happen after so many incidents the last few weeks with skates cutting players. Perhaps his punishment should be instead of suiting up for game time he's forced to watch the Clint Malerchuk incident on repeat for the entire duration of the game for the rest of the season. Fred Flintstone is going to cost us wins and in this tight playoff race we can't afford that.

Well said. I haven't seen or heard anyone that supports the Oilers defend Kassian for this. He got a lot of support here when he got his two game suspension in the Calgary game but that has all evaporated.
|
Dave Staples is doing his best to make Oiler fans look stupid. “Did he even make contact?”, “I need to see another angle”, blah blah blah.
|
I had him under the bus too but when I watched the youtube video of it carefully am pretty certain his skate didn't even make contact with the player and if it did it would have been his arm, not chest the way it's being hyped. Is a kicking motion in an attempt to get on you're feet quickly, without contact enough to get you suspended for 5 or 6 games? I guess you could say it was a dangerous thing to do but nothing really happened. He was trying to get up, did and the play moved on. I bet there isn't a mark on the guys jersey but because Kass is one of the leagues favorite whipping boys, he'll probably get the book thrown at him again. I would never defend a player maliciously kicking someone but that's not what happened.
