In a tough series when a team looks to their captain as an example on the ice would you rather they follow PK's example or Patcioretty's. I want the captain to be the guy that tries to put the team on his shoulders and wills them through, and that's PK.
Well, people are just going to quote me and say how I don't like PK and how I should cheer for another team, or be sarcastic and ask " How are the Bruins doing?", one has to point out flaws in Subban, too.
You're not worried about how he gets too emotional ? He runs around and takes selfish penalties. He says the right things about it's the team first, him second, but you'll see that he'll put himself first and try to take revenge when he was wronged on the ice instead of playing through it.
It was really bad at the start of his career, but now he's settling down. Another year, or two it might be out of his system.
While it's nice to see when he makes a mistake, he tries to get the goal back right away, but it almost never works. He tries too hard to do everything himself and a lot of the time it either leads to him screwing up and giving the other team another goal, or a very good chance, or he does and obvious dives, then trips someone, or interferes and takes a penalty.
You also have to look at their personalities. If it's between Pacioretty and Subban, how does the other act if they don't get it ? Subban definitely wants to be the guy, but if he doesn't get it, I could see him having a little resentment.
At the end of the day it's really (or should be) only between Subban and Pacioretty. I think if either gets it, the other will be supportive of the other.
