Good write-up... same sort of format Elliotte Friedmann over at CBC. But I appreciate the candor and stronger opinions.

Nice blog EE.

Roy is a better coach than Therrien. But knowing the space taken by Roy in Colorado, i understand why newely named GM Bergevin didn't want to hire Roy.

As for Subban. I cannot understand how they can take Bowmeester, even Pietrangelo, over Subban. It's pure madness. PK inflates such an amount of energy to the team and is so competitive. So good in every part of the game.

I could understand Weber and Keith are locks but after them, i think Subban is right there.

Engels doesn't like the Sens, his bias shines through any time they are mentioned.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Subban will not make the team.

If you look at the management
Yzerman
Babcock
Julien
Ruff
Hitchcock.

All no nonsense 'team comes first' type guys. I have a feeling that Subban's flamboyancy will not be appreciated by this group.

I actually agreed with him. I thought they were overrated especially by their fans, this is proving to be true now.

I know Subban is flamboyant, but I don't know where people come up with the "Subban isn't a team first guy".
I know the Media have said multiple times that he made veterans mad, but that was pretty much he made Gomez mad. Who the (frank) cared???
All Habs fan watch 24CH. There isn't a single incident that shows Subban not getting along with anyone, or not being a team first guy. He is very coachable, and has been very mature all season.
He's only had 1 bad game with a selfish penalty at the end, but he let emotions get to him. Also the only reason they were in that game was because of his amazing play.

completely disagree. whether a team is overrated or not has nothing to do with their payroll.

Why are Melnyk's garbage fire finances in any way relevant? Engels said the Sens were overrated based on where "experts" predicted them finishing at the beginning of the season. And those predictions were based on the roster they had, not the one they could potentially buy.

All of that to say, congrats on a butt hurt post.
