Anglesmith said it best in the thread about HF becoming soft, people are upset about "___" fill in the blank (a lot has to do with Doughty's suspension) and think that every injustice in the league now deserves a suspension to make everything even. It's getting quite annoying to be honest, Subban's play should have been a roughing at most.No way this is a suspension, why all the calls for suspension these playoffs?
The saltiness is real - though come to think of it the Doughty suspension has created a victim complex for any perceived slight.
People making threads about every hit usually isn't due to thinking every hit should be a suspension. It's because "my team's player got suspended for something and I'm upset, so every time any play that is even remotely comparable happens, I'm going to make a thread to cry foul in order to complain indirectly about that suspension."
So I don't think it's really HF being soft. I think it's HF being whiny and homerish.
loll! Have you seen the replies in this thread?You're being a tad melodramatic, Don.
They were matching holding minors. He didn’t even get punished on the ice. Mack went to the box for being an AvDirty but just a penalty, can't see anything else come from it.
Great guy off the ice, but can't stand him on the ice.
How is that in any way a hockey play , playoffs or not ? What if MacInnon got hurt ? I'm not a Avs fan but i sure enjoy watching MacInnon play . All that play shows me is a big baby getting frustrated because he can't stop the other player from playing so good . Subban is a dirty , dirty player and i would way rather watch MacInnon play than Subban .
He's a great guy off the ice? Really?
More guys have spoken out against him then there were against Sean Avery. Hockey players generally keep what happens in the room, in the room, and never say anything bad about a teammate. But that hasn't been the case with Subban, who has had teammates from Belleville, to the WJC, to the NHL publicly denounce him. He didn't make it a year in Nashville before his act started to wear thin. He's a jackass on and off the ice
[MOD]About as blatant and intentional as you can get. What makes him think that was a good idea?
Yup just a bunch of crazy people's imagination..... never happened.
Update from Subban's own lips: “I’d do it again next game,” Subban said Tuesday when asked about the hit following his team’s practice.
