P.K. Subban the only All-Star

[Habsawce]

Makes sense since Price is out, but damn. Speaks volumes about this team when Subban is the only one and he's been playing downright awful for a month.

You know what speaks volumes? Crosby hasn't been invited. OUCH.

He never goes anyways.

The NHL should get rid of the ASG, waste of a weekend

 

[sheed36]

Well he has 1 more goal than all star John Scott so well deserved..

There's only 1 all-star this year on this team. And it's Price. They should have named him even if he didn't play. Deserve it more than Subban. Though it's Subban type of game...the flashy type....Don't make him do the slapshot event though...he won't touch the net.

I'd put Subban in the all-star category easy, even tho he has a bad year.

 

[hototogisu]

Based on play it should be Pacioretty but I'd rather see Subban 3-on-3 so it makes sense.

Of course he should. Yet, this year, he's totally underperforming.

 

[MXD]

I think Gallagher could've been invited.
Then again... It's usually not the skillset you want to see at the ASG.

 

[Whitesnake]

I'd go with Daniel Carr....

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Most teams have one player. The new format makes it even harder to get 2-3 players.

 

[BatVader]

Great. Yet another distraction for PK to focus on, instead of trying to fix his pathetic play. He should decline and spend the weekend with the team, trying to remember why they play this game to begin with.


imho; They should dump the stupid All-Star Game and just have a weekend of skills competitions. They're more fun to watch and you can see the players enjoy them as well.

He got invited, but refused to go when he saw his best friend Max didn't get invited.

I agree with that.

Pacioretty's passes attempts would have been just as funny as John Scott skating at the all-star.

 

[RealityBytes]

Subban is invited, but by the players association, and not for his play of late. It's for getting that $9M per year contract for seven years.

At the rate he is going, that is some expensive goal. Although, if using total points, 27 points at the season mid point equates to ($4,500,000/27=) $166,667 per point. Nice job if you can get one.

Meanwhile Desharnais has 21 points and his cost is ($1,750,000/21=) $83,333 per point. Obviously the better business choice.

OK buddy.

 

[MXD]

Well, Jagr said he wouldn't be going, did he?

 

[Account Terminated]

Well, Jagr said he wouldn't be going, did he?

Yeah, but Selanne convinced him to go.

 

[llamateizer]

yeah,

there is 11 players per division and in the east there is 8 teams

 

[Burke the Legend]

Well, Jagr said he wouldn't be going, did he?

The fans voted him cuz they love him, it would be pretty bad if he didn't go.

Also now they suspend guys who skip who are not legit injured.

 

[shawdowmaker]

The month of December was terrible but other then that ... Plenty of candidates on the habs based on the format.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Can't wait to see PK in the accuracy shooting.

DD is not a better "business decision" Geez

If subban had the same assists but with 5 more goals no one would be saying anything he's obviously snake bitten when it comes to scoring since he's shooting at less than 1% it's unsustainable and people who go overboard bashing subban as if his contract isn't justified don't just look foolish you look dumb.

Is he underperforming? Yes. Is it as bad as everyone is making it seem? Nah
