Kassian has been pretty much hot garbage since the Tkachuk issue.



MT not only lives in his head rent free, but did some renovating.

I think it was actually on the game tying goal. At the very end of the highlight video, it cuts out but it looks like that is what he is saying:

It is very clear in the highlight package on the NHL app and NHL.com

In this day and age of no trade clauses and a salary cap? No way I can see them getting a better return under those circumstances.

To get a more well rounded return to fill needs and take the team in a different direction, they'd need 1 or 2 excellent players back, at least two above average players. Basically, a full 5 starting line up. To convince said excellent and above average players or waiver thier clauses? And fit under the cap? And then you have stranded Driasitsl on an island (an expensive one)!with no McDavid and have hair plugs like Kassian taking up a spot and cap room.

Given all that, and the egotistical enjoyment Lowe and Katz have of all the fawning the press around the league does over McDavid, I just don't see them letting him go at any price, even if there was a magical buyer who could provide a return the Oilers could use.

My take on Kassian.
He can hold it together, be less stupid and play half decent when he has an incentive. Once he signed that new contract that incentive disappeared and he reverted back to his true form.

The Kassian non shot block was strange. You don’t just wave your stick in the playoffs.

That said the point shot never happens without the horrible give away and McDavid is a pathetic leader for throwing a teammate under the bus.

Kassian changed his angle and then closed his legs like he was going for a block to prevent the shot from going where? Into the corner?

What a weird attempt at a shot block, he had no idea where he was in relation to the net.

And McDavid isn't going to be invited to those HA parties when they all exit the bubble this weekend, though I am sure it was more than McDavid on the bench who had the same thoughts after seeing that.

Either way, likely referring to Kassian.

I think he says "F--- off Kass" because as you can see in this video at 7:39 Kassian clearly gets out of the way instead of blocking the shot. Such a tough guy

Looks more like F off Kass to me, but I'm not any good at reading lips

I woke up early this morning and got to watch the final 10 minutes of the game. What a fantastic way to start the day! Thank you Oilers, and keep on Oilering.

Yeah. Surely McAvid sacrifices the body there and makes the block!

I feel like I’m going to start having a recurring nightmare of Gene Principe, who is now tanned fully black, asking Lafreniere how great it’s going to be to get to play with McDavid.

You’re somewhat excused from that responsibility when you are contributing to 80% of your teams goals.
