Thats 110% on him and no one else. and the worst thing is habs fans are blaming Therrien and no one else. They've been calling for his head for months. Any player doing something dumb its because of him lol i get that he's not a great coach but Subban is simply a turnover machine and he's not learning clearly edit: another thing about him. I guess Subban has his own brand now. And everytime he goes to talk to the media after games he always go and put on his hat with his brand and the marketing team and the team asked him to wear the canadian logo when he's talking after game or wtv and Subban is not listening at all and keep on putting his brand for all interviews and that's becoming a problem now. I mean... its mindblowing that people don't believe all the red flags with this guys, its so obvious how selfish he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he put it in on his mask for 60 minutes a night during gameplay. As for any objection by Lou, we'll probably never know what was discussed, but given Lou's usual stance on a "team-first" atmosphere, etc., I can't imagine the rebranding and PR push by Brodeur was met without any resistance. New Jersey's hockey press isn't like Montreal's hockey press and didn't make a big deal about it or make it a talking point. Montreal/Toronto medias make a talking point about everything and anything. If Brodeur played in Montreal/Toronto, his last 3-4 years would've been a constant discourse about his drop in play and selfishness in trying to pad his stats, etc., etc... The press would've tarnished his legacy with that bullsh!t, the way the press is tarnishing PK's current elite role/performance with other bullsh!t. Sure, he's cocky, he's eccentric, he's a real personality. But at the end of the day, he's their best player. I'm sure they wish some Quebecois like Huberdeau or Bergeron were their star player; but no, this is who they've got, and he's great. I flash back to him the last few postseasons; many times during their games, it seemed like he was their only competent player. And that's not just the "eye test", he led in points each postseason. Maybe he should be selfish. Maybe there are deficiencies in how these teams have been coached and how these rosters were set up, if he needs to be relied on to be the point leader every season and postseason?

Price is their best player by far and he's sooooooo far from being cocky. He's as calm as it gets. Look at that team without Price now. That team without Subban and his turnovers would be fine. And he gets most of his points on the PP. Just like Kovy he plays the whole 2 minutes and has a big slapper. Doesnt mean much 5 on 5. And well as we all saw... Brodeur is selfish too. We just never really saw it cause the team was always winning and everything was alright, made it seem like he was all about NJ. We saw what happened once someone better came along and took his ice time. You always see true colors in people in the bad times not in the good. The fact that Subban is STILL taking those stupid decision with the puck "to be flashy" no matter what situation the team is in... that's simply terrible. He's not on team canada for a reason and coaches like babcock would crucify him. Also... why do you keep ignoring all the bad stuff like him fighting his teammates few times every year and all his teammates and coaches calling him out. You can play the "media" card all you want. You don't see that from any other player in canada and it doesn't take anything away from his actions. Remember when he was mouthing his defensive coach that was trying to talk to him after a turnover during a game? he was talking back to him and arguing! That the media catch on that or not. It's still a thing and there's A LOT of that with that guy. I never said he's a terrible player. But he brings A LOT of problems. Guys has been labeled as "locker room cancer" for a LOT LESS than all the sh!t subban pulled. Geez even times he'd score a game winning goal and veterans on the team wouldnt even go see him, they'd skate directly to the locker room. If that doesnt speak volume. Also even after he did everything in his power to be captain this year the players voted Pacioretty. That also speaks volume. But i mean, you clearly don't want to believe he's a problem so wtv. im just stating facts it's not even my opinion. its all facts.

DJ Eco Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 SD, for the record I don't mind you always bringing up Montreal haha.. I enjoy the Around The League thread more than most of the others, mostly because we don't have too many cheerful things to talk about in Devils-land. It's good to get insight on the rest of the league and their fans where we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like Gardreau gets taken higher if everyone thought he would show this kind of potential.

And then on the flipside, you got the Rangers with Lundqvist. You've got 29 other teams that had 6-7 rounds each to pick the guy and they all missed out. Hell, his brother Joel was picked in the 3rd round by Dallas. The Lundqvist family was probably even thinking Joel was going to have the better NHL career at that point haha..

Did you just call an event in which someone laid on the ice for 10 minutes with a serious neck injury, was then stretchered off by both team's doctors, and spent the night in the hospital 'funny'?

Just get off the internet if you're that weak minded dude. If you can't see the difference between an event and the results of an event, it's not my problem. Someone slipping on a banane is funny. it will always be. Once in awhile someone will break his wrist falling after slipping on a banana, that sucks and the results is not funny but it's 2 separate things. I crashed face first in the snow being pulled by a skidoo going about 70km/hrs once, i still have scars from it 15 years later. My coat was covered with blood and it took me quite awhile to be able to get up and breath correctly but i swear to god, it was hilarious as fvck and i wouldn't blame a single soul that was there for not laughing cause 1- it was incredibly funny 2- i don't try to get offended by stuff His family released a statement only a few hours after the game saying he was perfectly fine and that it was NOT a serious neck injury and that they were keeping him overnight just for testing. But hey... go on and and make up more facts to build a case against what i said, cause you know, i'm sure you wouldn't want to NOT be offended, where's the fun in that uh. I even specified at the beginning of my post that "he was fine" so and well, for the record someone falling and running in head in someone else's ass is funny and will always be.

This is not funny any way you look at it, either. Imagine sending a link to the video of that injury to anyone you know, maybe some family members, your mom, etc. After they watch it, how about you ask them "Wasn't that hilarious?", I guarantee you none of them are going to say yes. Just because his family released a statement saying he was fine does not mean it's right to ridicule the situation and make it out to be funny.
