Are people really *****ing about eller in this thread? Really? The guy they replaced him with has one measly point more. ONE. While costing two 2nd rounders and paid more for the next 6 years. While one also plays on the PP with Therrien's favorite son while the other plays a more typical 3rd line role and PK. You can't play him as a defensive specialist and expect him to explode offensively at 27 years old even though all the signs pointed to hIm having potential. Didn't he lead the league in dzone starts at one point or something? We kept the worst center that has no value in this league and that's a fact.

It's like that whole Bergevin ******** saying galchenyuk may be or never be a center and then 5 years later winder why he's struggling at center! It's called development Pejorative Sluration. Neglect your kid for 5 years and see how they turn out.

Still think we should've kept Eller and then added Shaw. That way we'd have two guys with one point in ten games. :laugh:

Subban lining up his first Head To Head win!

Subban got a powerplay point, but he's also the reason why Duclair scored on Rinne. He failed his hit on him and that led to a 2 on 1 for Arizona.

So I'd say the head to head for game 10 is a tie.

The result would be similar but we would have more of Eller patrolling the offensive zone with the puck and nothing ever happening.

That's fine. If he's logging defensive minutes and keeping the puck at the other end I'm totally okay with that.
 
The Weber - Subban head to head is a tie tonight.

Subban was awful on the Yotes 2nd goal. the guy is lost in NSH.


PS: Ribeiro is god awful. No effort whatsoever. Nice mentor for Johansen who seem to care as much as Reibs :laugh:

Wouldn't have been a terrible idea. Uniting two guys that can up their game in the playoffs and cause havoc in the opponents zone.

And what was Subban thinking on that goal. Yikes.
 
this trade is still early, but subban is making lots of errors in his Dzone--nice pass on PP goal and then a terrible misread at blueline...results in tying goal

weber is better defensively
subban better PMD
tie offensively, maybe Subban better passer, weber better shooter
 
Maybe Subban is feeling the pressure of wanting to show habs lost the trade. Despite his faults he's usually a steady d-man. His mistakes however are so unforced and glaring that they cause a lot of attention. If he's making more of those, he's not focused.

That being said, I wouldn't know as I didn't watch much of Nashville.

I don't think its pressure. I think he just lost a bit of his passion. He went from a city where hockey is religious to one where it's not even the most popular sport. He loves the spotlight, but he's not getting much in Nashville. He also lost out on many connections (friends, hospital, etc). He doesn't seem to be trying as hard as when he was in MTL. On the fail hit that he did (which resulted to Duclair's goal), he looked lazy.
I didn't really watch much of Nashville and I don't have any personal connection with Subban, so take it with a grain of salt.

I don't agree about the spotlight thing, but the passion thing is an interesting point of view... Knowing how intense the guy is both on and off the ice, him realizing that what was once a dream is not just a job, might not be that easy.

What surrounded the Habs, fans at practices, dozens of journalists after a pre-season game, the croud etc. and you go to a place where there max 3 journalists at an official PC, maybe one or two media guys following the team, etc... It must be like living in two totally different worlds.

You're describing paradise. Most players would love to play there with no media attention.

Maybe for a guy like Markov it would be paradise , but definitely not for a guy like Subban who likes to be in the spotlight day and night.

well, for some like P.K., playing for his childhood team, in a great hockey city, etc may have been paradise you know.

If it doesn't work for him in Nashville Bergy could accommodate him.

Who knows what it is. I just wish his success. He did nothing bad to Montreal, only good.

The only reason, and I mean the only reason I wish him bad success (not health), is because of this board. He's made his millions, he'll be fine, but as for on ice success, I hope he gets exposed for each and everyone of his weaknesses so many members on this board can shut up!!!

So far it's worked, we're back to talking about DD :laugh:
