What a bum. His silly breakaway again reminded me of the Fail Safe (1964) movie. He elevates a lil bit, he's home. But no. No way.
Such an under the radar piece here who has had a big contribution to our success. Also Noesen too who has gotten a bit more attention. I'd try to lock up Chat for a while this offseason, I think he'll only get better.
This series is unique. Both fanbases agree the reffing and TV commenting is absolute horseshit.
new plan to get a cheap jersey, find someone selling an edmonton PJ or stepan Arizona jersey for next to nothing, wear it to the game, get a 180 dollar hurricanes jersey for next to nothing. yay
Turns out, it was E. the announcers weren't bad, but the studio was unbearable with PK Subban going super fan boy over New Jersey.
What did I miss?
Yes, exactly one of the things I was thinking. He'd be fine for New Jersey's broadcast team, but not for a national broadcast. It's okay for an ex player for a team to like said team for a national broadcast, but at least f***ing try to seem at least somewhat neutral.
You right now but kind of justifiably:
Great point + what's interesting about this series versus the Isles' brute force is that the Cane's 3rd pair's speed is outstanding and thus is a reasonable counter to the Devil's strength.
He had 1 major so it skewed his PIM / 60. Other than that, he only had 1 penalty minor penalty. I don't recall the major.
Nothing major, just they Subban is openly rooting for the Devils to win and tried to interrupt one of the other intermission cohosts in the middle of him trying to talk about the Canes dominance in the first period so he could try and pump the devils tires. The cohost kinda snapped at him and PK acted all sulky for the rest of the game.
I mean, he's actually a former Devil, I'm perfectly happy with him cheering for them. And at least he's open about it, a lot of media figures aren't transparent even though they have a very apparent preference.
I don't mind being a cheerleader when it adds an element to the broadcasts. David Ortiz during the MLB playoffs when he's cheering for the Red Sox or against the Yankees is a great example. You darn well know he has a preference and he doesn't shy about playing it up, but he's also capable of having good breakdown conversations and take an honest look at how things are going in games.
What's also interesting is that they've also effectively created 2 matchup lines that not only can hold their own defensively, but are more than capable of taking it the other way and producing should the Devils players get caught cheating. Makes it harder for them to do what they want to do when they also know any mistake could easily end up in their own net, especially with their goalies looking human.
Counterpoint: Biz is a f***ing clown and he is painful to watch.
Oh, yeah I saw the intermissions from our game last night. You mentioned Biz (but I re-read it and you had a question mark) and I assumed Biz yelled at Subban previously; maybe during the Rangers-NJ series.
To me, it was his past compliments of the Canes that made it even more shocking how much of a New Jersey fanboy he was. I thought he liked the Canes, or at least more than some of the old timers like Keith Jones, Messier, and Chelios.
