Listerine, biting, etc... My entire post was hyperbolic, the discussion of him gets super tiring though. There seems to be no middle ground on how people feel about him.

Ok if we really have to do a Shea Weber discussion in a Blues GDT, I'll argue that Weber did the only thing an RFA can do to make sure they get what they would get on the open market. Do I wish he hadn't? Of course. Did it cripple us as a franchise? Of course not.
I thought that Listerine bit was hilarious, personally. I didn't see that as a negative. I don't like his WWE type overacting in the game, I see your point there.

forsberg tries to be fancy too much. he is so skilled but it's like he wants to be a top highlight on NHL every shift.

We complain about Subban quite a bit for what he's actually done in his games this season. 48th in points/60mins among d-men. T-38th in points per game among d-men with at least games played. 41st in +/- for d-men with 10 or more games played.
Another case of us viewing things against expectations rather than reality.
He still looks slower this season. He still looks to make more mistakes than in seasons past. Statistically, he's not having a terrible season.

I edited, hadn't finished my thought process I guess. I don't disagree with you on the whole.
Gotta grow the biz...we care about winning hockey games...the owners care about the profitability which is a balance of winning and marketing...the real key is ....are they winning enough hockey games...and the answer has been yes for the past 4 years..not enough to satisfy me or you...we want the cup...they do too make no mistake...but long term profitability is more important to the owners.

no doubt Subban is viewed in the harshest light.
he's also the highest paid defenseman in the league and is very big on media attention.
combine that with his atrocious foot speed and really bad mistakes (lazy pass in the 3rd against dallas) & it's pretty easy to see why he has his critics, me included.

That insult is dangerous for someone from Missouri.

We have to break out from our zone faster. Can't get anything going when the Blues get easily set up defensively. Speed, speed, speed.
Dont reply to the intruder just report him and move on.
Really? This coming from Missouri? That's hilarious.

Well I can't wait any longer, I have to leave. If they come back to win, you're welcome! If not, I didn't miss anything.

There are plenty of individual plays to complain about. His apparent loss of speed is concerning and worthy of criticism. However, there are stats to assess.
Much like the team as a whole, there are what fans see and what the stats say.

This is a prime example of why we need a top-end line driver. Like a Seguin (I know those don’t grow on trees) or someone like that. We need someone who shines above the rest and sets the example for the rest to follow. Set expectations.
No one is stepping up in the right ways right now. It’s been a lot lately too. Johansen, I think, is the closest we have to what I’m talking about. Imagine if he was a little faster.
