Zack Kassian takes on Antoine Roussel in an epic fight
Vancouver Canucks forward Zack Kassian is listed as 6’3″ 205, while Dallas Stars rookie forward Antoine Roussel is listed as 5’11″ 170. Roussel skated at Kassian full-speed and had the advantage early on, even knocking Kassian down, but once Kassian got back up he was pissed off and he went to work, just obliterating Roussel. I give Roussel some credit for going after...
Zack Kassian is VERY Photogenic
While searching out a picture of Zack Kassian for my piece on the Canucks shootout strategy, I discovered that Zack Kassian has taken a lot of priceless photos in his short stint as a pro hockey player.

Sometime during the game against the Ducks, rookie forward Zack Kassian picked up an unspecified upper body injury and left the game.
The Canucks are in playoff mode now so info is limited other than Kassian will not play tonight and Byron Bitz has been promoted from Chicago.
Does this hinder the Vancouver Canucks? The big winger has just three points since coming over from Buffalo.
“New Kid On The Ice” – Vancouver Canucks Zack Kassian in the spotlight
“We Are All Canucks”
Starting during the 2008-09 season, the Vancouver Canucks dropped the “We Are All Canucks” campaign on their fans.
Over time, the marketing department may have gone in different directions, but at the end of the day, the team still wants us to feel that we are the seventh man on the ice.
Two weeks ago, the Canucks brass turned their fan base into a...
