Good to hear that Kassian is at least enthusiastic in his first game for his new team.

Who set up the puck for Kesler to one-time it in the slot? It was David "I can't pass" Booth...RoyalDude wrote:You can tell right away that Kassian sees the ice a thousand times better than Booth, which might explain why Kassian replaced David 'Zero Hockey Sense' Booth on Keslers line toward the end of the 2nd period. If I was David 'Turnover the Puck to the Opposing Team' Booth I'd feel a little threatened by this Kassian fella.
Impressed with Kassian's on ice vision and playing with his head up instead of buried in the ice like David 'I can't pass' Booth.
One more in the "good" column - the overtime.Mëds wrote:No excuses for this one. The team seemed to have their legs for most of the night.
The good...
now, Raymond should now that when the goalie is down you have a better chance of scoring on a hot goalie with a low percentage backhand when the goalie is down and has no idea where the puck is than you do with a perimeter shot after both the goalie and defense have recovered. He killed the offense a few times tonight by not shooting when he should have. His shootout move was the worst spin-o-rama I have ever seen.
Offense. In general the Canucks cycled the perimeter, didn't take high percentage shots, and received very few second shot opportunities because too few players went to the net. It was a soft game and the attack was poorly executed. The first unit PP was abysmal to start out, and in general our PP never did anything until the last 30 seconds of the man advantage.

He really does flop about quite a bit, come to think of it....wienerdog wrote:Wtf is up with Raymond blowing tires all the time? I know he's prone to falling over, but tonight seemed to take it to a whole new level...
...can't remember who but one of the 1040 bull honks tweeted during the game that Mason must have forgotten to take his skate guards off.wienerdog wrote:Wtf is up with Raymond blowing tires all the time? I know he's prone to falling over, but tonight seemed to take it to a whole new level...

Dude goes down quicker (and more often) than Jenna Jameson.
You putting your Bill Guerin hopefulness aside unlike the rest here and seeing the light on David Booth for who he really is and why the Panthers ousted him with a 3rd round pick sweetener for a pair of wonky geriatrics? He's got one tool David Booth, cheat at the blueline, Pavel Bure style, waiting for a breakout pass from the hard defensive work of his teamates and skate like the wind outside the D-man and drive to the net with the puck without having to look for teamates and stickhandle. That's about it in a nutshell.Hank wrote:Lol. Dude isn't entirely wrong about David "Blondie" Booth.
I was really pleased to see that Kassian possesses a head for the game, made some smart plays that you would never see from Booth. I guarantee you, in time, Kassian will pass Booth on the Winger depth chart cause of his smarts.rats19 wrote:Well I liked both new guys ..they will be good for us. Rd is correct, for a kid kassian can read a play.
