Zack Kassian looks to get the "bite back" into his game, and notes that he thought he found a rythym, even though the offense wasn’t there, when he was skating alongside David Booth earlier this season. The underlying data would suggest that he’s absolutely right about that. [The White Towel]

Excellent stuff from Harrison Mooney on Kesler playing the wing, and Vancouver’s decision to "load up" their top-six forward group. [Pass it to Bulis]

Really enjoyed this bit from hashmarks.ca who profile several Canucks players who were way more dominant in video games than they were in real life. Cliff Ronning and Mason Raymond – come on down! [Hashmarks.ca]
