So we agree then?
It wasn't the worst hit ever, but it was worth of a suspension.
I guess we do! I think the 10-game thing is kind of the headshot standard in the OHL these days, is it not?
I'm okay with the OHL being tough on headshots, but I'm also okay with Cassels playing with a bit of a mean streak. If we want him to play that kind of style, we're going to have to accept that sometimes he'll cross the line.

I guess I'm okay all around, in this case
I'm OK with the junior leagues taking a tough stance as well.
Thing is, you don't want your players developing bad reps like Kassian and Burrows, so best to clean up some of this line crossing behavior before it becomes an issue.
@Sarah_Hobday, the KWings Insiderrr has given us the latest scouting reports from Canucks prospects:
Fox has seen big improvement in his speed since training camp. Valk showed great character to fight a 6’4” guy who leveled Fox. Blomstrand has been putting up more shot attempts and been heavily used on the powerplay. The Valk/Fox/Blomstrand line has been by far the best line for Kzoo with the amount of shots and scoring chances. They read each other really well.
Really hoping Cole makes the grade I think he is a guaranteed NHL'er
I rate our prospects on making the NHL full time like this
1. Horvat (already there)
2. Virtanen
3. Markstrom
4. Cassels
5. McCann
6. Demko
7. Corrado
8. Gaunce
9. Jensen
10. Shinkaruk (size and junior A game may not be suitable for todays game)
“Tyler Myers is my guy... I was taking to Scotty Bowman last night and he was bringing up his name, and saying he’s a big guy and big guy need big minutes to play, he is playing great for ya… and I agree with him… He’s been exceptional” - Bruce Boudreau
McCann is on fire right now 1 goal and 4 assists last night, 1st star and 2 goals in previous game. 3rd star. 17 points in last 10 games
Really like the fact that both McCann and Virtanen are excellent skaters with excellent shots and play with an edge.

Gonna have a good chance at playing that LA Kings style. Won't be the prettiest, or most consistent regular season performances, but come playoff time it's the most grinding and effective in a best-of-7.
Something we are kind of lacking up front is forwards with speed who have wicked shots. They will be welcome additions
