PK is worth every penny of this deal. I thought he would get 9.5 actually.

He is fun to watch. Competitive as hell. Can dominate a game from the blue line. Has the best shot from the point (not the hardest or most accurate, just the best).

He is fun to watch. Brings personality to the game.

He, IMO, is actually a much better player than Letang. I've never seen Tanger dominate a game like PK does.

At least you were there for them. I was born in '93, the year after the Mario era Pens won their second cup....... and the last time Notre Dame won a major bowl game......

Holy crap! I read this and thought you were a teenager. In '93 I was sitting in a geometry class in Tampa talking to a guy about the Badger Bob rememberance game. Everyone had their lighters out...

He is also a coward, you forgot to mention that. Tangers battle level is far beyond Subban. I'll take Tanger.

Yeah, apparently Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana are considered "classic rock" now. We're all getting old, even us 90's kids.

I'm from '80....I was a big Nirvana fan (I have every album) when I was a teenager but then got very angry when the SOB shot himself in the head. Stopped listening to Nirvana for a while...and don't miss 'em that much. Selfish SOB. I turned my attention to Bush, Pearl Jam, Rush and Foo Fighters....later I got to like the best band ever: Led Zeppelin.

Nice Mr.Errey! have you been to Lemieux's games much? You come from the good days.
- Barnaby36

Not too many as I grew up about 50 miles west of Pittsburgh in Ohio. But I still have a cigar box with all the ticket stubs from all the games I attended.

The first "great" concert I went to was at the Civic Arena in '82 or '83 (sorry...dead brain cells) when Iron Maiden opened for Judas Priest and seating was limited to 1/2 of the arena's capacity (about 7 or 8 thousand back then). My ears rang for two days afterwards.

Now hold on there. Anyone who knows anything knows that Courtney Love murdered Cobain

First great concert I ever went to was PJ. They still got it, and always will have it.

Coward? Why? Because he wouldn't fight someone? He turtles? Ulf turtled plenty back in the day. He was hardly a coward.

Dude goes into hostile environments (Boston, Tor, etc..), stirs it up, scores goals, and talks trash. Cowards don't exhibit that behavior.

And come playoff time, he shows up. Big time.

"Tangers battle level is far beyond Subban". That is just flat out not true.

You forgot to mention that subban isn't very much relied on for a defensive role, whereas letang is constantly relied on in tight 1 goal lead games. Subban averaged 40 seconds per game on the penalty kill. Letang has very very similar stats to subban and he's one of the few defenseman who can skate coast to coast and make a big play. Letang has also been plagued with some unfortunate injuries for the last 2 years. He has had a healthy offseason, hopefully stays healthy for training camp, and will have a new system that benefits his type of play. Letang will have more points than subban this year

I never was able to like Nirvana. At the time they seemed to lead the kill punch to the heavy metal era, then Cobain did what he did. That early grunge era is my go-to these days. I've also developed an unhealthy liking for all things Dave Grohl, which is weird because I hated the Foo for the Mentos commercial for a decade.

Francois Leroux, Claude Lemieux, Ulf....there's a point where turtling is necessary to avoid further injury and there's an opposite point where the guy wants nothing to do with the other opponent. All three said names took the latter.
