Lol, your quote was before the habs-bruins serie in the course of which you lost control about Subban and Montreal.. Anyway not a big deal, bro :smile:

That's a great serie between 2great teams. A 7th match would be a great finish !!

 

[lgna69xxx]

As predicted I think Montreal is done after the "turning point" game but they put up a good effort in most games. Hard to say what will happen in game 6 at Le Centre Bell. Will the Canadien come out and take it to the Bears or will the Bears play like they did in game 5 and end the series? Should be a great game but could also be very one sided.

Smuler is my friend and Panthere also is my friend but .... sorry Smuler, gotta agree with the big guy on this one, Pitt needs to end this because they DO NOT want a game 7 vs. the Rangers.

 

[man77777]

I prefer Pitt too. Boston-Pitt would be beautiful finale with 2oposite styles...

[Doc Holliday]

I'm shocked. An all-Canadian panel thought Thronton should be suspended. I never dreamed that would happen.

Well, Shaun Thornton's also Canadian. Just like 80% of all NHL hockey players.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Because Doc is right about him. He declines fights or runs from strong challengers, taking on only guys he thinks he has a clear advantage against...and still got nailed by Marchand.

Exactly. Same thing happened when he went after Kyle Turris. Heck, he even went after little David Desharnais during one of their practices. David Desharnais!!!

Subban is nothing but a coward. A few weeks ago, former Hab and current RDS broadcaster Mario Tremblay wrote an article where he criticized Alexei Emelin & PK Subban for their lack of courage, constantly diving & faking injuries in order to draw penalties, reminiscent of soccer players. The title of the article was "PK, Be a Man!!"

 

[panthere]

omg i am going on game 7.....i gonna loose...i have that feeling now.,..i am really sick...i gonna vomit grrrrrr....i hate that goaly..he is a wall damn it grrr

 

[smuler]

[EagerBeaver]

Lundqvist stopped 36 of 37 shots, a .973 save %

 

[smuler]

Did you see Cindy Crosby hit Dom Moore in the nuts with his stick, then skate away
Then rejoins the scrum to crosscheck the guy from behind while the guy's on the ice ?

I'm surprised that he didnt then flop on the ice like he usually does faking an injury. :faint:

He's the best player in the world...

That is, when things go his way

You guys have totally missed the point on the spraying incident which is the impact on Subban's play. Subban said the water hit his visor and he could not really see anything for 1:00-1:30. Therefore he was rendered an ineffective player for that time. There should have been a penalty on Thornton for interference or unsportsmanlike conduct.

The incident occurred with 47 secs left in the game so I don't know how Subban couldn't see for 60-90 seconds!!! The whistle blew 4 secs after Subban was sprayed.

Watch the replay of the incident here. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/11/bruins-thornton-fined-for-spraying-subban/

 

[Special K]

Montreal's reaction to squirtgate!! Hahahaha!

 

[EagerBeaver]

Can someone explain why the Minnesota Wild are letting Ilya Bryzgalov guard their nets? Wasn't this guy playing with the semipro Las Vegas Wranglers a year or two ago?

 

[Ballsamic]

BOYZ,



Nailed yourself perfectly. :thumb:



You're right about that. The one's looking for any excuse to use to pull the race card out. So this has never happened to a White player? Because it's Subban it has to be because he's Black, not because he's a pain in the but and top rival? Really, what is anyone allowed to do where the race card won't come out? Can we give him a hard check, steal the puck, block a shot, is the goalie allowed to stop him from scoring or will Tuukka be called a racist for stopping PK's shot??? Puuuuuleeeeeaaasseee Doc, it was water on the mask and jersey. It was a stupid kid's prank and an unsportsmanlike infraction that got addressed.



I'm shocked. An all-Canadian panel thought Thronton should be suspended. I never dreamed that would happen.



PK totally embarrassed himself with the first attempted throw by falling on his own face. Right after he got back up he hit Marchand one shot to the head then either missed badly or went for body shots, when he wasn't trying to pull Marchand off his feet or the jersey over his head. Marchand landed 5 clear shots to the head, 2 were on the chin or mouth and one in the face.



Because Doc is right about him. He declines fights or runs from strong challengers, taking on only guys he thinks he has a clear advantage against...and still got nailed by Marchand.

Main Event:

The Bruins played a strong steady game unlike the first 3 where they always found themselves fighting from behind to catch up. The Canadiens needed a 6 on 4 late in the game to keep it from looking like a rout, and yet the Bruins never really looked like they were trouble. Game 6 should be a rough and tumble burner with Montreal in desperation mode, and we know the fans at the Bell Centre will be going bonkers for the slightest infraction they see...no doubt trying to add a few made up ones too.

Cheers,

Merlot

I guess you did not read post #914. NO whining. Nada.

You're even whining before the puck is dropped. Example: .......and we know the fans at the Bell Centre will be going bonkers for the slightest infraction they see....no doubt trying to add a few made up ones too.

Subban is taller than Marchand and outweighs him by 80 lbs. I give the smaller Marchand full marks for going nose-to-nose with Subban on that one. But like i was saying, Subban doesn't fight often & when he does it's usually against smaller opponents who rarely fight. If Wayne Gretzky were still playing, Subban would gladly fight him. Were Mark Messier playing, Subban would either run away or fall to the ice & turtle.

Here he is against Pittsburgh's Mark Letestu, who's actually slightly shorter than Subban. Letestu throws him down like a rag doll & Subban is lucky Letestu took pity on him & didn't hit him once he was down:

Mark Letestu vs. PK Subban

Here he is against an older & slightly smaller Brendan Morrow, who also doesn't fight very often:

Brendan Morrow vs. PK Subban

Here he is against Joffrey Lupul, who's also slightly smaller & rarely fights:

Joffrey Lupul vs. PK Subban

Lets remember that this is a hockey game and not a boxing match.

Hockey is a fast pace and hard hitting and fights do break out because of it, kind of like road rage.

Quote by you: Subban DOESN'T FIGHT OFTEN & when he does it's usually against smaller opponents who RARELY FIGHT. Do you see something wrong with this statement.

Marchand is 33 lbs less and not 80 lbs. Subban is 3" taller.

Lupul is 1" taller and 10 lbs lighter. I could go on but you get my point.

Now, if you want a mismatch, Chara is 6'9" at 225 lbs while Gallagher is 5'9" at 178 lbs. They have never fought but Chara has threatened him often.

Subban is not, and I repeat, not a fighter. He is not paid to fight but to PLAY hockey which he does exceptionally well, you said so yourself.
