If you ever feel like you couldn't make it as a scout just remember people wasted time on this guy.

Dude didn't produce and didn't fight, so must have been a family friend, or some shit.

Habs also drafted a dude with the last name "Anger" in the same draft who amounted to significantly more, just not over in North America

So is it safe to post Akim Aliu's scathing post about Subban here?...yikes

 

[HabsMD97]

I guess we're finally figuring out why none of his teammates got along with him, he's just a grifter who only ever cared about his brand.

Aliu has legit always been my favourite player. I still see him as our 2C solution

 

[Habssince89]

Aliu absolutely chokeslammed PK, and rightly so. Shameful shit from subban

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I'm sad Subban had to retweet Trump.

Absolutely loved the guy, hated the trade but that's a big yikes from me.

Thinking PK is glass half full, dont hold grudges , see the silver lining, kind of guy.

 

[tazsub3]

We owe the win to everyone that trash talked Canada !
Thank you .
And thank you to the players that had pride in their nation and showed it on the ice and after .

Other than Markov, Price, and so on yeah, right? Pump the breaks a little, Subban was a terrific player for the Habs and there's no reason for Habs fans to turn on him. He did nothing wrong to the Habs, to Montreal, or to Habs fans -- it bears repeating.

Aliu calling anyone a grifter is funny. Subban didn't hitch his wagon to the BLM movement and didn't raise money for "BLM Leaders" to buy condos and hire their friends and family with dubious oversight, but Aliu, who never managed to earn an NHL career, sure did.

I'm not sure why NHL fans are in denial of the fact most of the NHL are rather shamelessly pro-Trump. I don't think Subban's even pro-Trump per se, he's just a loudmouth. Falling for every one-way screed posted by every pseudo-bozo is pretty sad. We can have fun at the drama and barbs thrown back and forth without instantly declaring one person an evil guy based just off the accusation of another.

I’ve watched you from afar and never said anything for two main reasons. 1 being the respect I have for your brothers and parents & 2 I’ve always wanted to keep the in fighting between folks of color to a minimum.

This was something I couldn’t let go -

I’ve known you since I was ten years old and played with you so I’d say I know you better than most at a deeper level. You were a hell of a player and instead of using your platform you did everything in your power to gain acceptance and popularity, nothing with you has ever been genuine but transactional and usually for publicity reasons.

Even during this most sensitive time both politically and socially you take the side of the oppressor because that’s who you make your money from. I would of thought the “love” you have always claimed for your country, a country you represented at the highest levels would shine through to push back on rhetoric of annexation and humiliation of the very land you are born and raised in, but even that doesn’t get you to do the right morally.

This is the reason why every place you have played - no one liked you and players on the inside have always known who you really are - a sell out of the highest proportions. You are the perfect example of why people of color haven’t progressed at the highest levels of society. From one man to another, you’re a disgrace and history will judge you accordingly.
