Wow, Torres got spanked today, out for 41 games.
Kassian was probably having a pretty good Saturday night until his lady friend drove into a tree. I wonder if that is the sort of thing Canucks' management was thinking about when they traded him.
Yeah, sure his lady friend was driving. Ahem! As I posted in 2012 about the Kassian for Hodgson trade:
Big mistake IMHO … the guy has on and off ice problems too. The guy is trouble. Hodgson must have asked to go?

_On January 21, 2010, Kassian was handed a 20-game suspension by the OHL for his hit to the head of Barrie Colts forward Matt Kennedy.
In the 2011 IIHF world juniors, Kassian was handed a 2-game suspension for his hit to the head on Czech defenceman Petr Senkerik.
In May 2010, Kassian was charged with assault after an altercation outside of a downtown Windsor, Ontario bar. In October 2010, Kassian reached an agreement that saw the assault charge laid against him in May dropped. As part of the deal, Kassian, 19, must perform 25 hours of community service. He will also make a $500 donation to charity and pay for the dental work of the other person involved in the incident. Kassian was arrested shortly after the completion of the Memorial Cup after an altercation at a Windsor bar. If convicted of the charge, Kassian could have run into difficulty crossing the Canada-U.S. border as he looks to continue his hockey career.
On April 23, 2011, Kassian was suspended 4 games for an intent to injure match penalty he received at the end of a playoff game vs the Owen Sound Attack on April 23, 2011._
Also … he injured Tavares in a CHL Prospects game.
Also, I see Edmonton lost 3-1. The Oilers need to keep drafting more forwards in the 1st round, because that strategy seems to be working. And trade away their goalie (Dubnyk) who is awarded the Bill Masterton Trophy for his playoff performance - as a member of the Minnesota Wild.
