Rumours, Innuendos and Flat out B.S.: 2021-22 Edition

Re: Rumours, Innuendos and Flat out B.S.: 2015-16 Edition

NHL is the most vanilla sports league out there. Every interview is the same. Players are largely boring and conservative hicks form small towns. If anyone deviates form the norm, they get a ton of flak.

Compare apples to apples. Subban does not possess high NHL level hockey IQ - 4th liners were stars on their bantam & junior B teams, who cares, they're still NHL 4th liners when compared to their professional level peers.

And when the hell did I ever state:

That's not unlike Lafleur who couldn't ran a simple play pattern without ****ing it up. Both players are/were heavily reliant on their instincts, which are/were pretty high by NHL standards.

It's forgive able for forwards, especially offensively gifted wingers, however, depends on what the definition of a Dman is - play defense first & foremost or offense first or rover? Klingberg & Karlsson are just as atrocious if not more than Subban in their Dzone.

Subban isn't bad in his zone when he applies himself, most of the criticisms are directed toward high risk plays when he has the puck, it's rarely about his defensive coverage. He thinks he can get away with something and sometimes he doesn't. That's pretty much as simple as that.

Subban is a beast in his own zone....can log lots of minutes....hard to knock off the puck in corners.

His hockey sense issues, believe it or not, is on the offensive side....because he feels the need to do too much to compensate for lesser skilled teammates.

Subban on a team like Kings or Sharks would win the Norris every year....ok, maybe alternate with Karlsson.

Doughty, meehhhh, he makes way more mistakes than Subban (just watch any random Kings game)

Once we solve this nagging Subban problem, nothing will stop us.

Both are elite but how many highlites have you seen Doughty do a double spinerama out of his zone as the last man out ?

All great d make mistakes but sorry PK makes more boneheaded ones
