GDT: NHL 2015-2016 Out of Town Thread IV

[Strange Universe]

I like the new Habs logo

Looks like a leaky toilet bowl to me......one that cannot be fixed....

 

[Artemis]

I would love, absolutely love it, if the Habs are after a player (lets say for example its Chychrun) and they've sucked so badly and its common knowledge that they will draft said player, and 1 slot before them is a team like I dunno, the leafs, and we deal them 2 picks for theirs, and we draft Chychrun one slot ahead of Montreal it would be unbelievable. I do think the Bs can possibly package their 2 firsts, and move up to the top 5 (i hope to god they can) and getting another pick for Loui would only make it feel better.

I did enjoy watching the highlights of the Habs game though, wow do they stink. PK turnovers were a thing of beauty.

Just caught that on NHL tonight. Subban handed the puck right to Dubinsky in the neutral zone, who fed Atkinson walking in all alone. Wow.

Subban just does not know when to stop giving....
He even does charity work on ice.....

As much as I dislike Subban , and I do a lot, I have to give him credit for facing the piper after the game.

Flat out said 'he screwed up twice. He gave away the game. Its on his shoulders. Doesnt blame the crowd for booing him. As a matter of fact if he was in the stands he'd boo him too'.

I love PK Subban, wish he was a Bruin. I hate when we play against him, but my god he does everything off the ice the right way.

 

[Ladyfan]

Great night for Subban, 2 turnovers leading directly to goals and takes out Patches with a puck to the head.

Oh My.. Tough night for the Habs and their fans.

I hope Patches will be OK.

We'd be paying him for what he does on the ice. And we'd pay him dearly. Not worth it

 

[LouJersey]

Oilers claim D Adam Clendening off waivers and Chia immediately signs him to 5/20 with a full NTC..

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

It is time for us Bruins fans to worry about Detroit and not Montreal. The Habs are done for this year.

We are all loving there collapse but I am not ready to count them out just yet .

Yeah $9 mil is a pretty steep price for a goodwill ambassador.

Good person off the ice, clownshoes on the ice. Good defenseman, not great, overpaid. I'm glad he plays for Montreal; it's appropriate.

He is literally light years better than any defenseman on the Bruins roster right now.

I don't know what "literally light years" is supposed to mean, but he's not worth $9 million in this capped league, no matter who he's compared to.

 

[Kvartalnov_Fan]

Don't forget, no one here *****es about his crappy defensive zone play. All they see if the flash and sizzle.
If this kid was to play here, he would get the Wideman treatment very quickly or he would have to neuter his offensive game in order to fit Claude's ultra defensive system.

Grass is always greener...

Subban in this system would be a top three Norris choice every year of his career. Sadly we don't have the leadership to keep these type personalities in check however.

Subban is a good player. Some may say great. But he has the highest Cap hit of all Dmen in the game by 1.2M (Weber is 2nd at ~7.8M). If you are going to give this type of money to someone, you just have to hope he's going to be a top-3 Norris choice every year of his career. Which he won't this year...

Think chara has twice the goals this year and look how we consider him these days.

I'm curious...

What specifically about this system would stifle his offensive production?

I don't really know what that means either. Maybe I'm slow today. You're suggesting he needs a baby-sitter?

Saying he would clean up his on ice act with some real leadership.

Nothing , considering our entire offense is based off point shots. He'd put up Karlsson numbers offensively here.

His cap hit sucks, he doesn't. He would be fantastic in a system like ours IMO with a real good stay at home guy on his left..

 

[shackattack]

Not a word is said on Atkinson goal about Subban slamming stick across his shoulder as he scored.Pretty dirty.

 

[Number8]

I hate PK Subban mainly because of his pest like style of play and his arrogance on the ice -- but mainly because he plays for the Habs.

That said, he would be an absolute fan favorite here in Boston (hell, we even embraced Chris Nilan) and would literally transform our defense.

As you rightly pointed out earlier, pair him with a solid stay at home guy and he'd be a monster here. An absolute frigging monster.......

 

[Artemis]

OK... So nobody on this Bruins team - Chara or Bergeron, say - would be capable of doing that? If those guys aren't capable, I'm interested in knowing who would be.

Yeah he skates around like hes a rink-rat showing off on a public skating session, not a hockey player.
