Subban, Banks, Hamilton, Sautner all sent down to Utica.

There was a lot of outrage last year when Subban didn't get into a preseason game. Will anyone care this year??

Bo won 20 of 23 faceoffs last night, that's 87%. The Manny Malhotra effect.

Ouch, not even one pre-season game for Subban.

From what I heard this morning, Willie Desjardin is not his biggest fan. Called him a game player which means he doesn't show well in camp but he's noticeable in games. He needs to take camp more serious I guess?

He played last night I believe.

He was also minus 2 apparently, bad clearing attempt on the Sharks first goal and on for their second as well. His interview this morning he owned it, said he needs to make better defensive decisions.

Edit: just going by what was said on the radio this morning.

I will go out on a limb and say they are shattered. He has plummeted down the depth chart. This is a good thing, the org is adding depth

He wasn't -2 he had an even +/-, he was on ice for both canuck goals, however i think the OT goal was partly due to him leaving on a bad change

Is everyone freaking out now that Subban has been sent down?

No because people now think Stetcher is our new Norris hopeful. Subban is last seasons news

that's what happens when you have no defensive game and don't improve year to year...

Yup you're right, I just watched the Desjardin interview and he mentioned the first goal and the bad change in OT was on Bo's line.

Ah well, shake out the early season mistakes now. At least he scored, would be good to see him not have any long scoring droughts this year.

Yes for sure, good to see him get one early and build confidence.

Desjardins said Larsen needs to not be so safe, he needs to get involved in the play offensively because you only have a small window to showcase yourself.

Seems to me ole' Willie D is being a bunch more critical this year with his player comments.
