I have no idea what you're trying to say here but I applaud your efforts. I must be really grinding your gears for you to go through my posts from a year ago "Also, yeah, pretty much all of Nashville fans are loving the trade. After the initial shock of Weber being gone, they were excited" - MOLG Also, yeah, pretty much all of Montreal fans are loving the trade. After the initial shock of Subban being gone, they were excited" - illWill It's the same damn thing, how hard is it for people to wrap their head around it? One guy takes out an ad in a newspaper crying about the trade and that is evidence? Comparing Montreal and Nashville's fan bases as if they were the same? I don't even know what the hell we are even talking about anymore

Price is on the ice this morning.

The consensus among my buddies here in Toronto was they were shocked Nashville actually gave up Weber. They never imagined an SOB like him to play for the Habs. It was apparent to them on our exhibition match where Weber shut down Matthews and Marner every shift he faced them. Now the general consensus I get from most fans here is 50/50 a lot of fans just like to hate Montreal as Subban was an overrated bum when with the Habs but now he is a top Dman. Everyone seems to like Weber though.

Almost everyone I talked to liked the Weber/Subban deal, almost everyone I talked to as a fellow Hab faithful, liked the trade. Even Bruins fans and Leaf fans I know, and they know their hockey, all have indicated they like the deal for Mtl. On this board however, anyone who says their opinion is in favor of the trade is maligned, insulted, and degraded to ignorant status, not nice, not accurate, and just plain old ignorant... illWill mentioned that " And to me, that's all it is, a discussion of what fans think...there is no right or wrong or ignorant, or all knowing, it's just opinions in a discussion, but it always has to take a nasty turn, if someone dares to have the opinion that they like the trade, and states that. It's almost as bad as when anyone supports Therrien.

I guess if you want to be ignorant of this thread, ignorant of the Internet, and ignorant of all those same fans who chanted Subban's name during a Habs game, okay. It's really silly to be ignorant about this anyway. This is Montreal, where people burned Komisarek jerseys because he signed with Toronto (which was day one a great decision for Montreal) and people held a protest for Alex Kovalev not being signed (but not Saku Koivu, the former captain). It took years for some people to get over Halak getting dealt, there are still people who bring up Kostitsyn's name up as a potential forward for the Habs, and some people still can't get over the McDonaugh trade. Until the Canadiens win the Cup, grudges will be very easy to grow and sustain. Also, without a Cup to cheer, it's harder to cheer for a team that can't make it to the top. It's a lot easier to instead champion players when the team can't be a champion. But for most people, especially here, this is first about Bergevin/Therrien, second about Subban, then way down the list about Shea Weber (and it being about Shea Weber is completely about how he compares to Subban). Most Habs fans are gonna close their eyes and deal with it, just like they dealt with Saku Koivu's spot being replaced by Scott Gomez, just like they dealt with the Eastern Conference final carrier being dealt so the Thoroughbred could play, just like they dealt with Roy being replaced by Jocelyn Thibault. Habs fans endure. That's why management is trying to stuff Sergachev down their throat. It makes enduring easier if there's a future to watch for.

Sorry you guys are so sad about the Subban trade, always sucks to lose your favorite player. I personally don't find the new Habs team all that boring last nights game was actually pretty fun to watch. Wish Subban all the luck in the world with Nashville except against Montreal!

Maybe we should have a separate thread about Markov's relationships and personal life. Ithink we could have great debates on the unwed women and their children.
