Vlasic, Bowmeester>Subban, Nash>St Louis, yes or no?
Nash is not better than St. Louis. I'll grant you that, and I think it was foolish that Nash was selected over a guy like Giroux.
But Vlasic and Bouwmeester are much better in their own end, which is why they were selected, and hence why they won Gold. You can't argue with the result.
Bouwmeester also makes a better first pass. Vlasic is arguably the best defensive defenseman in the league, he rarely makes a mistake.
Like a previous poster said, objective is the keyword when discussing a player, even if that player plays for your favourite team. Just 'cause he's a Hab, doesn't mean he's better than everyone else. None of you would be fawning over Subban if he wore a Leaf's or Bruins' jersey. Subban is a Top 10 D-man in the league, let's be fortunate we have him, but let's not boost his ranking in history or current times, just 'cause he's a Hab.
