Just the kind of player he is, you have to take the good with the bad when it comes to skill guys, IMO. He was a part of at least 3 scoring chances.

If we're going to have a team full of grinders that keep things simple, we're never going to score enough goals, which has been the problem ever since the Boston series.


Hansen and Ebbett aren't going to carry the offense every game.

I liked Kassian's game tonight.
Yeah, he had a couple turnovers, but he had some real nice plays offensively.
I'd rather he play like that and work on his decision making as it goes along.
He's a lot more effective than when he just plays as a grinder/bruiser.

He was brought here to be a top-6 power forward, not a bottom-6 grinder.

I hope management and the coaching staff knew there were going to be some growing pains with a young guy like that when it comes to his decision making and 200-foot play. Again, gotta take the good with the bad.

If not, they should have kept Hodgson and traded a mid-round pick for a goon.

It's clear. Every game i've missed this season was a highlight reel game. Time to stop watching games.

VAN signs college UFA Kellan Lain from Lake Superior State. 6-foot-6 centre from Oakville, Ont.

How much longer does AV stick around for?

Would be completely shocked if he gets fired during the season.

I think he might go if we miss the playoffs, which I doubt we do. We'll make the playoffs and that'll keep him safe for at least next season.

He's had too much regular season success to fire him mid-season, especially in a lockout shortened season. A coaching change while they're still a "good" team and not a bottom feeder will happen in an off season IMO.

Lol Flour.

Stop betting on the nucks. I've learned that the hard way.
