I'm not hurt, I'm just saying...you guys don't have to read my posts.. you guys seem more hurt than me tbh lol and I never said Kassian was a plug, I just said he was a 4th liner..
And if you guys play hockey, it's pretty easy playing with the Sedins. You just read the play and skate to open ice or go to the front of the net and wait for the puck to come to you, if you can't do that, you shouldn't be in the NHL.
Kassian is a 4th liner because AV doesn't seem to let players redeem themselves unless they are named Sedin, Burrows, Kesler and Edler
I do play hockey, and if you think its all about waiting in front of the net, then you don't know anything about the twins and hockey

Truth. Hes on the 4th line becuz he was placed there.

Go search up Anson Carter's canucks highlights on YouTube. It's all about getting yourself open when you play with the Sedins, they play a pretty simple game. They just work a cycle down low and these plugs chase after the puck like noobs, then they pass to the open man, which is usually in front of the net. Posted via RS Mobile
Guys, I've been playing hockey my whole life...if you put me on a line with the Sedins I will tap 30 goals in.
It's the Anson Carter effect - remember when he spent a year on their line and got a career-high 30+ goals, and the next year suddenly thought he was worth a huge raise. This is a guy who was ALWAYS a streaky scorer, too - besides the Sedins, it was due to be an "up" year for him anyway.
Like I said at the time, even Fin could get 30 goals playing on a line with the twins.

That was also back then, when people didn't know how to effectively play against the Sedins. Lots of teams have learned and it isn't just a matter of standing in front of the net, or looking for open ice anymore. If you look at Burrows, he battles hard, and participates in the puck cycling. He doesn't just stand still.

Just having Carter stand isn't gonna cut it. So to repeat what gars has said, Burrows is so effective with the twins because he added another layer of depth to open up the twins game. Its pretty much, chase or fish? you get scored on. Just having Burrows move the puck opens up the D to join the attack.
And Tonight is the night i wanna see Kass do something. Its gonna be tough for Kass to get more ice now that Booth and Kes is back, so if he steps up and shows his worth, then we all good
in order to play well with the Sedins you need to be able to cycle the puck, know how to play positionally and know how to find open space on the ice and of course be ready for anything with your stick on the ice. To put it more simple you have to have a good hockey sense and don't try to over play the puck just get it off your stick quicky which Burrows does on a regular basis.
Not any plug can play with this but as long as you create a bit of traffic in front of the net then they start to cycle the puck which draws the player by you to them and boom you are open with the puck and a chance to score. Playing with them is really basic in a way but you need to think quick and just react if you get a puck or else you will cause a turn over.
Yes I played hockey like some others(Jr A tho)but the speed of the game in the NHL is so much quicker you can put a John Scott with them cause hes to fricken slow and can't do shit. Burrows is perfect cause hes quick, smart, doesn't try to do things he should do and has the grit factor as well.
So ya thats my look on the game and the type of player they need playing with them
I never compared anything lol, you guys are something... Lol only darthchilli has something remotely constructive to say..all you guys do is press fail or say omg he's retarded omg he doesn't know hockey or post retarded ass rage faces.. Don't my posts have some truth to them if they aren't completely wrong.. smh. Lets hope kassian will play good tonight, I want to see more hits and forechecking from him
Jason king and Pyatt didn't light it up, but they definitely benefited playing with the Sedins a bit.. Posted via RS Mobile
