PMAC Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 SUBBAN! Just called up for the game tonight!!! The globe and mail says it is still not confirmed; Can Subban Save the Habs? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hock...article1546845/ I hope he plays and plays well, but I am a little worried about the pressure he will be under. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The globe and mail says it is still not confirmed; I can confirm it; he is with the Habs, likely will dress as 7th D tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has zero pressure otherwise. Nobody expects he will win the game by himself. I mean did the 1986 playoffs hurt Claude Lemieux? Stephane Richer? 1 game will not destroy his future.

KoZed Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Probably the best-case scenario to call him up, after a win and because of an injury. No savior pressure there. I just hope for the kid he doesnt make some mistake on the PP that leads to a Caps goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope for the kid he doesnt make some mistake on the PP that leads to a Caps goal. He has amazing wheels and can catch just about anyone. Besides I'm sure he will be careful with it being the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoZed Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Fans' reaction on the Web makes me cringe already. I'm happy to see the kid in a Habs uniform, but Jesus Christ reading fans you'd think Subban is the next coming of Raymond Bourque.

That's putting it nicely, I get the sense they expect Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey blended into one. Completely agree though, time to temper the expectations in a big way.

sakiqc Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well, Subban has a better PPG average in the NHL than Ray Bourque.. Alright he has only played 2 games, but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree though, time to temper the expectations in a big way. Bourque is the best D of the modern era IMHO. He was playing 30 mins per game and was outstanding at both ends of the ice, oftentimes on a Bruins team that had nothing else to offer. Coffey was a a glorified 4th forward who was lucky enough to play with Gretzky AND Lemieux and was useless in his own zone. As for Orr, I haven't seen him play.

JCPetit Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 It's not the best situation for a kid to join the line-up. There will be a ton of pressure in a game the Habs can't lose. We don't have much choice anyway. I hope P.K. keeps it simple for his first shifts. If he feels comfortable out there, well, I guess that we will see him carry the puck and go for the net. That's the way he plays and I don't want him to play too conservatively. Go for it kid! Show us what you can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I'm just happy because I think Subban is a better defender than M-A Bergeron. It shows the organization is also trying everything they can in order to win this series. If Spacek were healthy, no way would this move make any sense. But he's not healthy, so we have to ice the best team we possibly can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalerexpert86 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Fine, a blend of the best of all 3 then. Bobby Orr/Ray Bourque/Optimus Prime is the feeling I get when reading about Subban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Fine, a blend of the best of all 3 then. Harvey, Lidstrom, Potvin, Shore, Robinson... Coffey comes way late in the list of best defensemen. I'd settle for Subban being just something of a Brian Leetch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
