Bouillon on P.K., Weber and Radulov

[Bx]

Apologies if this has already been posted. Haven't seen it. Francis Bouillon has an interesting perspective in that he's been teammates with all three of these guys.

I haven't read article yet but I'm guessing he had good non-controversial things to say about all 3 of them

Pretty much.

Pretty much, but I have to give him credit for choosing a very nice way to say PK is an annoying little **** and you just need to tolerate him because he's your teammate.

Also loved the Cube

On Subban: “P.K. is like your little brother at home — sometimes you like him, sometimes he’s all around you when you’re not feeling good. He’s got a different character but, at the end of the day, he’s your brother.

“He’s a good player but he has a different sense of humor. The bottom line is, you win with guys like P.K.â€

On Weber: “(Weber has) a lot of character, a good attitude and we all know the Canadiens missed some of that last year. He has everything; I call him Mr. Hockey. If you’re looking for a good guy, a leader, that’s Shea Weber.â€

Good to hear his first-hand perspectives.

 

[Seb]

Lmao I wanna hear Bouillon's opinion on Therrien and Bergevin

 

[Deluded Puck]

Ironic because playing with Subban extended his career for 1-2 years longer than it should have.

Maybe PK should have picked up some tips from Francis on how to be a stand up team player that fights like a bulldog to the end. Have Respect for your teammates, coaches and managers. Maybe he'd still be a Hab. 14 yrs in the NHL, he did something right.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

I'm not surprised by what he said about Subban and Weber. What he said about Radulov is reassuring. The Semin venture didn't work but perhaps this will pay big dividends. He has all the physical attributes to be a first line RW (which we don't know about McCarron or Scherbak). If he behaves, wow! It could catapult the Habs past several rivals.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

This articles always ring a little hallow to me. I mean, he's not going to call Radulov a bum who he couldn't stand even if he did feel that way.

Did you miss this part of his quote:''The bottom line is, you win with guys like P.K.''

If PK was this player you're describing, who doesn't stand up for anybody, and has no respect for his teammates, coaches and managers, I don't see how you then say he's a guy you win with.

It's time for you guys to realize PK wasn't this trouble, disrespectful and selfish player you've convinced yourselves about.
How can he be that player but then, have this special bond with Price where they have their own handshake. How does Gallagher say he needs some time to process this deal and can't comment on it right away. How does Galchenyuk say he was flat out angry when he heard about this trade. How does Weise say he was in total shock and didn't believe his friend when he told him PK was traded. How does everyone who played on Team Canada say he was a true professional, great to have around, terrific team player.

This fictional portrait and character assassination of PK some of you are spreading around is just shameful.


Meanwhile, everyone is ecstatic about Radulov being signed and coming here despite him flat out leaving his team out to dry because he wanted more money. He came back for the POs one year and skipped on his curfew, was a healthy scratch two games for it. Unlike PK, we have cold hard facts of him having very questionable character, but hey, he gets a pass. The guy who won the Norris, made Team Canada, was nominated for the Norris another time, is one of the few defenseman superstars of the NHL, gets his reputation tarnished because some don't like his passion.

PK has more character than the two guys who preach character....most of our troubles always seem to circle back to a clown coach, and a GM that seems to be afraid of clowns...
Weber, Radulov, and Shaw are all going to make us a better team, but at the end of the day, the clown coach is our #1 problem...

Glad Carey Price is back!!

Good article...Subban not in World Cup can imagine that is a reason why. Because the skill is there

 

[Habs 4 Life]

So how long before Bouillon gets a permanent job on the coaching staff?

2 way street. Jury is still out on Radulov. Hopefully he shows up to play hockey, not showboat and party. You win with guys like Radulov too.

I am someone who is ok with the trade but absolutely agree with you that strongly attacking our own players, or even coaches and GM, with nothing but speculation as argument, is shameful.

Two wrongs do not make a right. So if some people are not happy with how our GM is being portrayed, it does NOT give us a licence to smear Subban!

If what Bouillon said of Radulov, he actually said about PK, you would be the first to bring it up and criticize PK on it.
The jury is in and has been in on Radulov for a long time. People just want to ignore it and hope for the best.

Well last time Radulov came in he was a healthy scratch in the POs because he couldn't follow a curfew. He came in from Russia to specifically help lead Nashville to a cup and it failed miserably. Not sure how you can say he's the type of guy you win with.

It's funny how Radulov and Weber are the ones who straight up abandoned their teams by leaving to Russia and Signing a qualifying offer yet almost everyone is talking about PK Subbans "Character" issues. Character issues that apparently only Tony Marinaro could tell us about..

 

[Jee]

What a useless read.

 

[cphabs]

Lmao I wanna hear Bouillon's opinion on Therrien and Bergevin

Me too ROFL

 

[OldCraig71]

I would love to have Cubes take on Desharnais, Pacioretty, Therrien and Bergevin as well.

At least Radulov wasn't high on drugs, like Kassian.

 

[Covenant]

Very politically correct on all three players. As a result no real value to his analysis.
