ROY DU NORD!!!
What's scary about this management team is that they seem to want to take credit for things they had nothing to do with. "PK's more mature and ready now for a larger role, he's developed nicely since I've been GM" bla bla bla. PK was excelling at these things before this group ever got here.
I'm getting tired of them patting themselves on the back to be honest.

What a crazy thing eh, as a player gets older/wiser more experienced he continues to improve as a player. Who would have thunk it? PK was a stud long before these guys ever got here. I know you're agreeing, I'm just re-enforcing your point.

Dear god no! HF couldn't survive without the excuse Subban only got a Norris in a half season.

Price is to the Vezina as Drew Doughty is to the Norris. Well deserving player who's had some really solid seasons but there's been other players with better numbers on any given year.
If Price has another season like he did last year, I think you could see him winning the Vezina even if there's another one off guy with a brilliant season. Ditto with Doughty. If their numbers are close, they'll get the award.
As for PK, I really hope he has a killer year. He just takes way too much criticism for what he does on the ice. I hope the dump and chase goes away and I hope the team finally backs off with him. Just let the guy play. No more benchings, no more calling him out in the press. If he makes a mistake, live with it and move on. We've got to stop treating him as though he's a rookie who needs to "learn" how to play the game.

PK has always been unbelievable at playing shorthanded.
His stats back that up 100%.
I hate how he went from one of Martin's most used PK'ers to one of the least used under Therrien and co.
Using him like this does free him up for more offensive minutes though.
Him and Plekanec are the best PK'ers on the team bar none.

And that's why this is a good management group. When you have to earn something you appreciate it a lot more than when it's handed to you on a silver platter.

With the league's new diving rules, the coaching staff has already adjusted our strategy and compensate for the lesser PP time with more PK time.
Is that you Claude Julien?
No.
Maybe a better way to put it would be to say that Subban had to re-earn everything with them.
He played on the PK 3 years ago and we had a top unit in the league. Why should he "earn" the right to play on the PK now? Nonsense.
It's bad management to not properly recognize the value of your assets.
They never said he had to earn it, they said he will be on it. The rest is the tin foil hat parade being its usual paranoid self.

I'm fine with him being used in all situations.
I just hope the coaching staff monitors his minutes and keeps his average under 25. The last thing we need is a tired or injured PK come playoffs.
PK's game is based on his physical strength, from his skating strides to his shots to his bodychecks, so when he starts playing 26-27-28 minutes, we start to notice diminishing returns.
Having Beaulieu and Gilbert should help theM avoid playing PK for 2 mins on every PP.

If it was up to me, Subban would be on the first line of both types of special units (PP and PK)...

Sorry for mixing up line and pairing, but I would still place Subban on the first PP and PK units...
