Except Radulov is probably triple the player Semin was when he came there.
I'm sure its been posted in the thread earlier, but I'm late to the party. Very interested to see what happens to this team this year.
Can anyone actually defend this?
Why they both play right if subban or weber played opposite sides they wouldn't be compared because of the l/r thing but they don't.In the world cup of hockey, where the games being played are much different. Also, just because they're picked doesn't mean they're better. Jake Muzzin was selected over Subban, does that mean Muzzin is also better? No, they just felt it was a better fit. Team Canada has been anal about their RD/LD combination since Babcock became their HC, so the whole Weber>Subban argument because of a bloody WC roster selection needs to be laid to rest.
Why they both play right
it's just cuz it's 1 game knockouts the subbans and letangs have less value because they can take a big risk play and lose the tournament while the boring defense won't score as much but chances are they won't lose a game.Well, they both play right defence. But I'm just saying, it had alot to do with the omission of Subban from the team. Regardless, I still think using the Team Canada WC roster selections as justification that Weber is better than Subban is silly. Is Brad Marchand better than Taylor Hall? There's loads of examples in which the fit of a certain player puts them ahead of another. Subban is a good example of that.
Bold, but he's always been very good in playoffs.He is gonna win the Conne Smythe
Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Andrighetto - Plekanec - Gallagher
Carr - Shipachyov - Shaw
Danault - Mitchell - Byron
I leave room for Scherback, Reway, Lehkonen, Hudon, McCarron, and De La Rose to shuffle the deck a bit. Gonna be able to force a few trades at the start of the year.
haha You are kidding yourself if you think Therrien doesn't give Desharnais top minutes.
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Radulov
Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Gallagher
It will happen! Prepare your bodies.
Just reading that makes my blood boil
He is gonna win the Conne Smythe
Yeah but its probably the starting lineup too!
Semin was a low risk/high reward signing with his 1 mil salary. This is almost 6 mil.
Heads up Therrien!
He did not hit the coach. The coach himself said it was nothing.
He did.In the video it definitely looked like he had intent. He took a quick look then whacked the dude. Even if it was an accident he should've apologized?
Such an awkward motion why would he swing backwards with such force? just so so odd if accidental.
