Commandant Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nashville lost all of Webers Leadership and CHaracter, gained a locker room cancer in Subban and is farther than they have ever been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, how dare you belittle the importance of weber's leadership and the mark messier leadership award. Don't you realize the long history of one of the most important awards in the league? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was in the memorial cup press room when Nashville scored. It was right after the press conference with Konowalchuk so it was quiet. My fist pump on the fourth Predators goal was so loud everyone heard it. The fist pump! So much wind on it. I don't know how they can win a Cup without Johansen but it's still going to be exciting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he's not really all that concerned. Any time you trade away a star player, this has the possibility of happening. And besides, I don't think he obsesses over everything that goes on with Subban as some fans tend to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but it's pretty interesting that a team trades their highest paid player and their captain and suddenly goes further than they've gone before in the playoffs, their aging starter has his best playoffs, and the defensive core looks more dangerous and capable than ever.

Lovett's Magnatones Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It was a "win now" trade...for Nashville. I really hate this team. Hopefully the loser Panthers can get it together. Viola and Co are one of two or three franchises that make the Habs look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'll just assume if the Weber / Subban trade didn't happen that the habs would be in the stanley cup? The preds are a much more dangerous team then the habs are, much more talent up front. The Preds D is far better then the habs D, CJ is a better coach then MT, Laviolette has brought his 3rd team to the cup, Subban has played well,so did Weber 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny to me how much better everyone thinks they are now compared to when the trade happened. Fact is, there was no point to the trade. Bergevin has a hole at centre but trading Subban for Weber was his top priority. That's why this is not going away. This is four wins from being on Le Trade level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it when the move was made, this is as bad as as the Roy and Chelios trades. Both of those teams also became contenders because of those trades. In the gold days of Pollack, it would be the habs winning cups because of the moves their GM made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Fiala and Johansen is painful, but there's guys like Subban and Rinne that need rest and Fisher could come back from his eye injury.

BCHabnut Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Lol at subban vs Weber. Thank GOD MB didn't hire boucher. Most boring crap hockey ever. 2 scoring chances and two goals on seeing sure shots. Total luck they won tonight. Worst team in the playoffs and I will be very surprised if they don't regress next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst team in the playoffs and I will be very surprised if they don't regress next season. Jean Perron hockey was extremely boring - given how the rest of the teams were playing in the 80's, but it got us a cup. Boucher has taken a team most expected to finish 14th in the league to being a game away from the finals. I guess you are happy that we got knocked out in the first round instead by the team Boucher and the sens beat. He has also completely changed the image of Karlsson and helped him become a true leader. Like Subban, Karlsson was called a one dimensional offensive dman by most of the talking heads and was robbed of the Norris last year. Now he is being hailed as being by far the best dman in the league. After an extremely slow start, he's got Bobby Ryan going and Ryan has said that he had to adjust to Boucher wanting him to be more of a net presence than a perimeter shooter. On the other hand, the two guys MB hired have done nothing but cost us Subban and totally messed up Galchenyuk. The guy MB did end up hiring after finally firing le Genius, started our most offensive gifted player on the 4th line. Than in the last minute of an elimination game puts him at centre. Sorry, but i'd rather have Boucher than this bullshit coaching that has resulted in nothing but losing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Zero chance I ever read a positive post from you. Regardless of coaching. So 2 Norris trophies and 2 nominations and the world is just now noticing Karlsson is good? Boucher is a genius. Zero chance I wanted him before and I'm thanking God I don't have to watch his boring crap now. Oh ya I forgot. Lol at Subban vs Weber. It's done. I don't like it either but Jesus is getting old. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But trying to spin that boucher made Karlsson great after he won two Norris trophies and 4 nominations is total silliness. If you guys want to prattle on about how the habs would be going to the final if hey kept subban, be my guest. There is a lot of use of the term "narrative" used in this site lately. You guys spin your narratives all you want. I find it entertaining. Unlike boucher hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys spin your narratives all you want. I find it entertaining. Unlike boucher hockey. You're putting words in people's mouths. I haven't seen one person say that the Habs would be in the final if they kept subban. I have seen that the theory that this is a trade that the Habs would win short term and the Preds long term is all shot here. The Predators haven't suffered at all short term, they got better. And they still have the defenceman who is five years younger. I also see people pointing out that Nashville isn't missing Weber's leadership, and saying that Subban is not so much of a cancer in the room as was stated previously. I also see people saying that Subban is playing against other team's top lines all playoffs. (Toews, Getzlaf, Tarasenko) This isn't to say that Montreal would win with Subban. But this is to say that all the justifications that were used on this trade (win now, character and leadership, defensive liability) have all been shot to shreds. The best thing you can say about this trade is that its a lateral move in talent, and the Habs got 4 years older. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
