I like this whole "most of the hockey world" thing. Kassian isn't an agitator, he's too stupid to be. But he has also never thrown a clean check in his life. He's consistently about a foot off the ice well before the hit lands, aims for the head, checks from behind, charges, and is just a straight up psychopath. He's about as dirty a player as there is in the game right now. The more I look around, the more I see knowledgeable fans not taking his side. This is mostly the extremely unprofessional Edmonton media just screaming for attention. Most people have just kind of forgotten it actually. As we would have if we didn't have them screaming in our ear from close proximity for the last... when did this happen like a month ago?
