Zack Kassian retires

[HabsQC]

Habs legend

 

[dire wolf]

Who's going to be the Craig MacTavish of this group

ROR is my guess

Thanks for the memory.......of rag dolling Matthew Tkachuk.

i remember wanting the Wild to draft this guy soooo bad then feeling extremely happy it didn't work out once I saw him in the NHL.

good for him knowing when to get out, though--it's a rough life and you'll just end up miserable if you lost whatever motivation you had to put in the work to stay up.

Thought he would go back to the Oilers. Convert him to defense and pair him with that elite stud Nurse and watch the sparks fly.

 

[Esq]

Love him or hate him, his breed of player are getting rarer and rarer in the league.

Kenny Holland was nice of him to give him a nice 4 yr $13 mil retirement contract. Ken is nice like that…

Props to the girl who took the DWI Rap for him. I hope he compensated her after with some of his career earnings

That girl was * edit
covering for a lot more habs player that night...

The more you know



Will miss Kassian, what a legend!!

Although he scored a garbage goal or 2 he looked like complete ass during preseason with Anaheim. Made the right choice to hang em up.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

See you in the Hall of Fame Zack.

Alcohol and women did him no favors over the years even before he made the NHL.

Maybe he can land a job with his HA neo nazi buddies

HA and Neo-Nazi? Both? Or do you think all HA's are into White Power because they don't let in Black dudes? Just wondering.

FYI I don't side with racists 'cuz you know, I ain't White.

No Jax Teller changed the rules. Black dudes can join now

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

One of the ugliest and dumbest to ever play the game.

Surprised at the amount of hate he is getting. Guy battled addiction, bounced back and found a way to carve out a career. As someone said earlier his brand of hockey is rare today and not something you can teach. Best of luck to him in retirement.

Might have something to do with him being a douchebag on skates who wasn't very good at hockey.

Lol HFboards is hilarious. Dude played in over 650 games and over 200 pts. "Wasn't very good at hockey" is quite the claim for a guy who made over $20 mil lifetime. Reality is he would skate circles around 100% of people on this board.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Thanks for giving us this iconic moment.

 

[Thorton02]

I always loved how unhinged this guy looked back when he had hair and a constant 5 o'clock shadow. I would have preferred him over Hodgson personally.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Smell ya later bozo

Will always have a place in history as one of the rare suspensions for kicking someone with skates on.

He’s clearly a fan… article says he doesn’t know him.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Bum. I mean bummer.
