"Subban is the reason we got a point. He made some huge saves for us." - Max Pacioretty
…….I wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I’ll never see……

This past Saturday, Subban was the tough-luck loser in an overtime game against the Winnipeg Jets. He turned away 35 of 39 shots in the losing effort. Thursday night had to have felt like déjà vu because he suffered the same fate against the Maple Leafs. Subban and the Golden Knights dropped another game, during the 3-on-3 overtime, an epidemic in which the team is desperately seeking a cure. They’re essentially giving away a point with each overtime losses, but the sole point attained is crucial AND can be the difference between a May playoff visit or a May tee time.

Fleury was toasted and subsequently pulled in a brutal 6-1 home loss, at the hands of the Mikko Rantanen-less Colorado Avalanche.

…I pulled him (Fleury) to save him. It was embarrassing the way that we played. I think they had 30 shots at that time, halfway through the hockey game.…
Until then: It’s not easy, to be, Subby.
