Kassian could beat up all the Oilers at once with his pinky. "Retribution", now that's funny, Edmonton.

When was the last time Daniel made good on an open net? At this point he's more likely to score on a deflection.

I don't even get this? Aren't the Oilers running Gagner out of town anyways?

Not only that but it's a four point game against a divisional rival that the Oilers are fighting for a playoff spot.

He's not even a goal scorer anymore. I swear.

Translation: I'm going to elude to my comment Kassian is a "disturbing player" because none of my forwards can actually do anything to him.

at this point i could see dank, burrows, and booth on a 3-0 on an empty net and still not score

Full context of Eakins comments (start at 13:05):

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

had to google kassian and gagner to see if i missed anything when i dozed off at the beginning of the third. man, i totally forgot all about suspension; seems like a lifetime ago. it's been a loooooong season, am i right?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Daniel would pass to where the puck bounces awkwardly, preventing Burrows from getting a shot off, but he makes an excellent recovery, dishes it to Booth, who shoots so wide, he kills the bat that was flying around in the Habs arena.

Gadzic likely could, the guy nearly rocked Lucic and is 240# but he's really not worth Kassian time, he'll he's not worth Sestito time, the guy is out here for one reason. But Oilers have no one after him who could do anything about it.

A little scary that we needed a shootout to beat calgary and beat edmonton 2-1 and luongo had to make some huge saves and get some post help..... A win is a win i guess

California teams > Canucks and Coyotes > Alberta teams
