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 heās retired, and Iāll never see him again, Iām 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 couldnāt 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 couldnāt do it. I remember word for word, him saying āFuck it, Iām going back to the locker roomā and he wished me a nice day.
I couldnāt 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

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

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

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

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
-Disagreeable-
And weāre all better for it.

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

For some reason Iām surprised he is only 32. I thought he was around 35-ish
