This isn't about hockey, its about selling tickets. I don't doubt that the Oilers management is in Kassian's ear to make something happen during the game.

Yup, Feb 29 is being built up into a Thunderdome moment as much as the press can without promoting violence in the league.
Any PR is good PR, and always has been, for a desperate Lowe (note Holland has stayed quiet, and Tippet after the game thought Kassian needed to control his emotions and hasn’t said anything since), who has also, besides the local guys, have some has beens on social media back Kassian up for putting himself in a position to be rocked 3 times in a game.
Kassian has seen his stock rise and it started the contract talks, so he probably figures to keep the party going for another 5 day stint may net him some more $ or term and get him some more lower common denominator fame in the social media hockey world...even though he had his chance in the third period of the game it occurred, where instead he forgot MT was on the ice, or whatever, and got rocked again with no on ice response from Kassian or anyone else.
