Also, you'd think Subban was the first player to ever hold out...I don't see how this is relevant for team Canada since no one's getting paid anyway...

Freaking out on Patches? yeah that's never happened before, I think this is the first time in history that 2 teammates might of had a little disagreement.

And although Therrien is hard on Subban, it's a tough love approach...and to some (including me) it sometimes comes across as a little too tough and not enough love...but to say they are at odds? No. At least not yet.

Attitude will play a big role in developing chemistry in a short two week tournament, so yes it is relevant. Only guy I respect that held out on his contract as a UFA is Turris (to move to hockey market), the rest I see as selfish or overvaluing themselves.

Also had fights with Plekanec, Desharnais, Darche, etc... Gill called also him an bumhole. That's alot of incidents.

I don't know too many others that have public problems with coaches other than Yakupov, who I would also describe as having some attitude issues.

You disagree?

Never saw PK headshot someone or make a clear hit from behind....

That's because he plays in Montreal and doesn't want to risk the prison sentence.

Fans don't give out/vote for the NHL awards.

So sports writers are the racist bastards?

He's too busy flopping around the ice like a fish

So you acknowledge he's not a dirty player, despite the inoffensive and almost cute slur to make yourself not feel too bad about this confession?

No. The opposite.

Players fighting each other during a very frustrating season (Habs finished dead last in the east when it happens) is pretty common. P.K. may have had some adjusments to do, but whether you believe it or not, his attitude and level of play have improved dramatically since then.

Fights with Desharnais and Darche?

K, let's just move on. As I said, you dislike the player and that's your prerogative. Your information as far as where his game and attitude are at this point in his career, is flawed at best.

I was talking about the fans. Not all of them. Some of them. Does it matter at this point?

No. I sucked it up and flopped on the ice like a Hab - but NEVER a Bruin. Bruins don't flop!

Marty - would you please.

I think you are putting too much importance to the chemistry aspect...the guys that make the team will likely want the best players there...not the nicest. The players that give them the best chance to win.

I think you just dislike Subban and any and all reasons are good for you to dislike him. You can keep on hating all you want. He will likely be on that team. You might like him better when he scores a big goal or sets up a play to help Canada win a game...then again you'll probably still hate him...

So you acknowledge he's not a dirty player, despite the inoffensive and almost cute slur to make yourself not feel too bad about this confession?
- _nay_

In all seriousness - no. I don't think he's a particularly dirty player. I don't recall any Banahans against him.

In no seriousness - I do think he's black though and must be a victim of racism. I don't have anything to support that opinion other than the fact that he's black.

I know, man. I'm messing with you.

I do think the dude who through the banana at Wayne Simmonds would be prejudiced towards PK based on racism. The rest of fans, I'm not so sure about. I really don't think the vast majority of hockey fans give a poop what colour or what country players come from.

Yes. Because he doesn't kill penalties and he fights with Guy Lafleur.
