The norris trophy winner (best d in the world) is not playing today. And we dress hamuis, bouwmeester, doughty and vlasic who are all less good than him. Man in the west I watch all Kings and Oilers games and Doughty is not close to Subban.
Weber picked it up recently is really looking good even if his stats arent. Keith is the best dman this year. And Pietro is doing really good. But then, no other canadian D is better than Subban. Such BS.

I may be off base but I have serious doubts about Weber's mobility on that ice surface, whether it's manning the point on the PP or effectively chasing the puck down low. He'll look like Pronger in Torino which is not a positive.
PK should get plenty of ice time but TC being TC, he's going to get the shaft.
I have no idea how hamuis, bouwmeester, doughty and vlasic have been doing defensively, dont watch their games, but you have to admit that Subban does make some defensive play that makes you go
quite a lot this year. He is the best offensive D in the squad no doubt, but makes a lot of mistakes in his own zone. The Canadian coaching staff wants to play it safe (which is kinda stupid since PK should shine in a big ice surface imo).

This first game isn't as important as the other ones. The way I look at it it's Hamhuis and the others who are on trial here not Subban.

PK's whole life he has heard that he isn't good enough. This snub will only fuel him to be a better player. Habs don't use him in key situations so it's easy for Babcock to not rank him too high.

Watching that Russia Slovenia game on TVA sport with Dany Dubé and Martin McGuire. Imagine if they'd actually join TVA Sport full time for Habs hockey next year. #TheDream

I'm wondering the same. It either really blurry or really high def.
Damn work internet speed.
Does TVA sports have an online feed?
P.K. Subban is the game changer on the back end and they bench him for Dan ****ing Hamhuis. I'll never understand how Team Canada makes decisions, it's so utterly ridiculous.
I've really grown tired with this veteran, play it safe ********. Whenever they lose it's because of this crap. PK is just flat out better than 5 of the 7 other defenseman yet he's a healthy scratch while players have half the talent get 45 yards of rope.

Subban is playing tomorrow.
Hamhuis might be a healthy scratch tomorrow.
He will get his chance to show why he deserves to be playing every game.

For that I primarily blame Therrien and his dogged determination to "break" Subban, as if PK is no smarter than a race horse.I have no idea how hamuis, bouwmeester, doughty and vlasic have been doing defensively, dont watch their games, but you have to admit that Subban does make some defensive play that makes you go
I am not surprised that Subban has to sit today, but I think it's a poor decision by Babcock, and I frankly expected better of him. It's a scrub game today anyway, so hopefully when PK does get in the lineup he will show that he not only belongs on the ice, but in a top-4 role.
