I don't think he was all that bad, but he did look a little nervous but that's to be expected in an Olympic debut, especially one as heavily scrutinized as his He was definitely not horrible like some like to believe. I think he still has alot to offer the team with his skating ability on the big ice. Ice time will be hard to come by though because of the quality and track record of the dmen ahead of him.
I agree.
I think he should stay in the lineup. and its good that he got that game out of the way vs Austria.

But to say he played good in this game would be a lie. Some posters on here are just to blinded by bias and can't be objective talking about him.

shiiett....dude almost seriously hurt himself because he was caught out of position and had to race back and ended up crashing in the boards.

The narrative is based in cism..Hes no worse defensively than 2 defensemen playing more mins considered ahead of him on the depth charts....Whats crazy is they will lose a game and play miserable defnesively with him in the press box and those same fakkits will create posts with his name in it...
why is it racism when discussing one players play?

make a conversation about another player and we can discuss how good or bad that player played.
but don't act like a whiny bytch when we are talking about a certain player and his play.

you sound real pathetic right now bruh. but I'm beginning to expect that from posters like you and Reincar

"bb-b-b-b-but, this other defensemen guy didn't play good either"

admit that you can't be objective speaking of PK because you got race on your mind and feel like you need to stand up for him.

:heh:

the conversation was about Subban, not about the other defensemen. if you want to talk about every player then lets do that.
but don't try to change the focus because you can't look at things objectively when discussing PK

I don't hate PK, and I actually think he's a good player, and my favorite player on the Canadiens.

but I can also look at all the players when discussing them and be objective. just like I was with karlsson.

I never said he played bad, but he didn't play great.
I also said he should continue to stay on the team, but on THIS team, his strengths are what I mentioned, and where he can be used best.

You cant discuss PK without talking about his teammates because it tells the entire story of whats really going on here in terms of intellectual dishonesty..People want to hate Subban for things they they wont address with other players ahead of him playing more mins...it matter breh.

Im not surprised at all you dont understand why race has to be brought up when discussing him...

Go do some reading on other boards about this team,you'll see why it matters...

then you can't talk about any individual player then.

but YES you can talk about an individuals play. But who is Hating on Subban??

I don't see any of this hate.

show me where this hate is, then I will address that. cuz IMO there is no reason to hate him. his play wasn't that bad. its good enough to stay in the lineup. but he needs to calm down and just play his game.


now if we want to look at the team itself, there are a few players that need to wake the fukk up. I'm glad Carter showed out last game.
but guys like Kunitz should probably be sat next game.

its shocking you don't see it and its sad

pk is viewed as "aggressive", flamboyont, a cancer, takes to many risks, aka non intelligent to be out there, as darren pang would say he doesn't play the "white way".

his game is no different than dennis potvin, paul coffey , bourque etc.

its sad that 4 year sin vnacouver drew doughty was the dude with the spins, joining in on the rush, young and dumb but all he got was mad minutes

you always here about that giveaway crap dont you

pk subban has 65 giveaways this year

drew doughty has 63

but I don't care about other boards. and if you read other boards and see nonsense, racism and ignorance yet continue to go back to them then you are just playing yourself.

I don't care about other boards, I watch the games and I make my own decisions.


online forums and boards are the worst places to base your opinions on.


shiiet, if an outsider came here to the coli and read a few posts they would walk away thinking this place is run by racist 12 year old cacs and nikkas.


its too easy to troll, or talk shyt and hide on the boards.

show me in the media this racism you are talking about.

You have analysts on tv in this country who today and last year while being voted best defensemen in the world openly ripping him for not "conforming" completely unchallenged...

Were talking about a defending norris trophy winner who was on tv said to be a bubble player for his own country,and then after being selected playing behind guys like Vlasic,Bouwmeester,Hamhuis...

When you hear the same rhetoric "conformity,flamboyance,humble himself" you have to consider race is an issue in all of these decisions...of course the classic bigoted retort to counter this is well he was picked and did get to play...

Of course he should be playing but no way in any circumstance should he be a 7th d-man on this team given his recent credentials...Its the hockey establishments way of giving him his due and at the same time keeping him in his place...
