    I’ve lost track…was he still playing as of this season or was he a free agent?

    Is it really a retirement if nobody wants you? Or is it just getting fired and being unemployed?

    Man he never lived down that time he did a bag of blow and crashed a car then had it pinned on a girl from the maritimes. HABS Legend.

    Okay now that heā€™s retired, and Iā€™ll never see him again, Iā€™m gonna tell a hilarious story working in a NHL catwalk.

    It was last year, Arizona vs Calgary, at the dome. I was up at the catwalk, and the Arizona scratches were coming up. I couldnā€™t really recognize them, until I saw (legendary) zack kassian. He struck up a conversation with me, and we talked a little bit about the battle of alberta. Contrary to people calling him a meathead, he was a very nice guy. We joked around a little bit, and was very approachable in conversation But what shocked me was, this man, a great nhl fighter and hitter, was fucking frightened by heights. He tried for a solid 5-6 minutes convincing himself to walk on the catwalk, but he couldnā€™t do it. I remember word for word, him saying
    ā€œFuck it, Iā€™m going back to the locker roomā€ and he wished me a nice day.

    I couldnā€™t believe that zack kassian has a fear of heights like that. It shocked me. In all the time working at the dome, it is probably the weirdest story I have.

    TLDR: Met Zack kassian on a catwalk, mofo has the biggest fear of heights on the planet

    I remember seeing him at TC prospects tourney with Buf, was a man playing against kids physically..

    He WAS the Oilers Flames rivalry a few years ago. I still chuckle remembering how he wiped the floor (ice) with Kachuk (spelling).

    Thanks for everything, Kass šŸ’™šŸ§”

    Lets be honest, Arber Xhekaj ended his career. That fight is the last thing anyone remembers from Kassian

  12. Can somebody post the vid of the player kind of laughing and Kassian scaring the shit out of him just with his look?

  13. egoVirus

    Chucky should throw him a party šŸ˜‚

  14. AWokenBeetle

    I still remember him grown man style throwing Matt Tkachuk around like he was throwing a hand towl with a face on it around. Genuine beast of man

    And weā€™re all better for it.

    How had no one made a choking on pancake joke yet?

    When your time is up itā€™s up canā€™t live off the past

    So a plug retired big news I guess

    Would have preferred him over Reaves on the Leafs 4th line. Heā€™s got a lot better play making skills.

    For some reason Iā€™m surprised he is only 32. I thought he was around 35-ish
