Is Zack Kassian Dirty...???

((HT: Sportsnet))

Vancouver Canucks right wing Zack Kassian faces a phone hearing with the NHL’s department of player safety after breaking the jaw of Oilers winger Sam Gagner Saturday night.

The league offered Kassian an in-person hearing which means he could face a suspension of more than five games.

The Oilers announced Sunday that Gagner is out indefinitely with a broken jaw and that he will miss the start of the regular season.

Here's the hit...
Craig MacTavish was quite vocal about his displeasure... "I don’t know that he wouldn’t have done it had we had...a Colton Orr in the lineup. But we could use that element."
And whaddya wanna bet they're going shopping...???

Sam Gagner's Fantasy Value Explodes

((HT: NHL/TSN))

The Edmonton Oilers' Sam Gagner did something that hadn't been done since some guy named Gretzky did it... and a guy named Coffey as well...

A 4 and 4 night for 8 points...
Witness the piece of history...


Mario Lemieux had done it in a playoff game (the five goals, five different ways game) and the Leafs Darryl Sittler had 10 points in a game. But the HQ thinks Gagner is good for now...
