The forward Subban played the most minutes against in each series. Toews, Tarasenko, Getzlaf, Malkin. Number of 5v5 goals those four players scored with Subban on the ice = 0 They didn't have anything to say about his defence, so they had to make up a narrative to bash him.

What adjustments did the Penguins make. 1) More careful about where the dump ins went. Targetted Josi's side of the ice in the Josi Ellis pairing, while keeping puck away from Rinne as well. 2) Shot gaps on the defenders. 3) Defensively cleared the front of their net and didn't allow Nashville many second chance opportunities in games 5 and 6. But sure, it was the listerine comment that guys like Milbury and Cherry love to harp on.

If you were a robot I would agree you would give exact same effort/result every game. Why the discrepancy in Nashville's play at home vs on the road or Rinne's play from game to game...I am damn well sure he wants badly to win every game...but does he and his teammates have same performance. No, because they are all human and not automatons without 1,000 different things on their minds. Crosby may be best but he dosent play the same every game does he? And why is that?

give em pleks and throw in emelin. I'd be good with that.

Some people have been waiting all playoff for Subban to make a mistake which they can pounce on to "prove" that he is not a team player, not a good Canadian boy, etc., etc., etc.. Rather like when he gives the puck away or makes an on-ice gaffe, it's taken to "prove" he is not defensively sound, while when Shea Weber or Drew Doughty does that, it's completely overlooked. There's a much wider "cultural war" in pro hockey and Subban is at the very centre of it. Meanwhile, the fact that he was, on balance, Nashville's best player over the whole span of the playoffs, is overlooked, because he used the word "Listerine." And like I said before, if Brent Burns had said that, nobody would be up in arms about it, because Burns is a pre-approved Good Old Boy.

All this talk about Vegas taking on contracts.. If I'm MB.. I'm offering a 2nd round pick to force the selection of Pleks or Emelin.. or a prospect like DeLaRose Maybe DLR and a 2nd for Vegas' 4th round pick and they take Pleks

The emergence of Ryan Ellis 6 years after his draft year is why I want to protect Beaulieu over Benn.

Isn't that interesting. It was not that long ago that I started a thread saying that Shaw had to go. I got crucified. Wait for the playoffs they said. ok how did that work out? he is a good player but he will look better on a different team.
