And if he's aware of it, it would probably please him.Interesting that PK was essentially put on island in MTL, and here on this board, he gets his own island too.
Yeah its pretty deep and i think it will last untill the end of his carrier. Lot of hockey fans either hate him because of his bubbly personnality or love him. In the public i'd say 60% of fans is pro-subban in mtl and in the media its probly 80% anti-subban. Hockey commentators and ''expert'' are pretty bad. Ull hear comments like ''pk might be more spectacular but 9/10 of the times it doesnt work.'' Or they will feed rumors like saying hes a cancer in the preds locker room or say hes the 4th defenceman in nashville, things like that. They just cant be objective. But people that love pk cant be objective either.Holy **** does PK drive people absolutely crazy or what? Try reading the Hans board if you want to see what legit unhinged looks like. J.F.C

I pretty much stopped following the habs since the trade after watching them all my life. Started following every preds game since and also follow this board.

I would say in order when not injured:Who has been the Preds best dman this season? I heard on the main board that Ekholm has been stellar? I guess it's the luxury of having a top-4 that stacked is that different guys step up on different nights.
Ellis that low? Oh my goodness that's surprising. I've always really liked Josi's game - has the captaincy been weighing him down? I thought he was one of the best dmen in the league during the cup run.I would say in order when not injured:
Ekholm
Subban
Josi
Hamhuis

Yeah I originally thought about swapping Subban and Josi but I still kept Hamhuis over Ellis. Could be because I'm more impressed with what I've seen from Hammer as a 3rd pair role guy compared to my expectations from Ellis as a top 4. But it is what it is, the separations are small. Either way Ekholm is number one and I'd have to question anyone saying otherwise.Ekholm

I'm not sure there has been any not-injured Subban this year, he has been so bad... but that said, regardless of injury:I would say in order when not injured:

Redundancy is the word of the day. Josi and Subban are basically the same player and pairing the 2 was ineffective. They make thier teammates better and balance in the defense is needed moreso than one extremely skilled pair getting in each other’s way.For what I've seen, Josi has had some defensive mistakes, but is awesome offensively. I wish he and PK were paired. They could be a new Josi - Weber for how they'd compliment each other.
If I recall, they were paired at first. Remember a behind the scenes type video where PK was asking how they used to play certain situations with Shea. Whatever caused the separation, I wish they looked into it again.
2 games, 2 bad plays that led directly to goals against though. For all the good he's done offensively, he's not good defensively right now.i'm actually kind of surprised that we have moved subban down to 4th most minutes night after night and almost exactly near hamhuis toi. . maybe it's whatever the mystery injury is and we're trying to limit him. i expect when weber returns we will return to our 'normal' mix with hamhuis on the thrid pair and subban back to full time second pairing. honestly i am willing to see us mix and match the top two pairs some now. we moved subban to ekholm because we wanted puck movers on both top pairs. but as ekholm has really improved handling the puck i think we could at least try josi-subban, ekholm-ellis now. honestly many games we just haven't been as good a defensive team as we should be with all these horses.
