I like Subban as much as the next guy ad I feel he could be a norris winner in the future, not necessairly this year.
But after his fight with Morrow, I started wondering historically in how many of his fights he falls or goes down (whether its his fault or another factor). So I checked youtube for all his fights I could find and noticed he falls or goes down in the vast majority of them. What do you guys think? Is it a strategy? a form of turtling? I know its not his fortay, but he engages in fighting more often than not.
Or he can continue being a Norris calibre defenceman and not bother with potentially breaking his hand or throwing out a shoulder. There are players paid to do that for him.
Oh, I know. And I wish he wouldn't get in fights and scrums. Though, his personality and competitive nature will always get him in the middle of stuff like this. So he better learn how to defend himself rather than potentially dropping against a nutjob like Horton who would pound him away even if he falls by himself.
Horton is your example of a nutjob?
I think his style of fighting is of the classless POS level. Always trying to sneak a punch in. Too bad because he is a Norris candidate but, honestly, his fighting style speaks to him as a person...a fake fighter and coward.
Either fight like a man with dignity or don't. When you get challenged, answer the bell and he didn't.
What a horrific thing to do in a fight.
You can play on the meaning of the sentence, but real men know what I am talking about. He goes for the sucker and embarrasses himself and his fanbase.

Surely you cringed as hard typing this as I did when I read it.
Sorry you'll have to forgive me if I don't take you seriously. It's classic Subban bashing, not grounded in any reality. If he doesn't fight because he sucks at it, he's a coward. If he fights and still sucks at it, he's a coward. We get it.

I have praised Subban and I do think he can be nominated for the Norris. My point is his style of fighting lends many to believe that he is a coward. David Dzurzynski fought and got his ass kicked by MacLaren...no one called him a coward. Subban does not have to try and sucker someone. He can hold on, he can fight with some sort of honour. He doesn't and hasn't.
Classic Subban bashing would be more like saying he sucks, can't play, blah blah blah. He is a heck of a player, but his character shone through last night.

What in the flying hell...
Why don't you go back with your owner and investigate on that attempted murder from Matt Cooke. We all wish we had a great franchise to cheer for like Ottawa fans do.
I guess you are the guy when a fight breaks out you sucker punch people then try and run...I get it.
Real men don't do that. There is honour and a certain code that players emulate. Morrow challenged Subban to throw off his bucket and go at it. Not to try and sucker punch. He declined.
Jared Cowen was challenged twice and answered the bell even though he felt it shouldn't have had to. But did so.
I know it is hard when your owner (Melnyk) or a player (Subban) embarrasses your fan base, but sometimes you have to face the issue and move on.
If Morrow challenges a guy to a fight right in his face and then gets surprised because he gets "sucker punched", that's his ****ing problem.
What a horrific thing to do in a fight.
