By being black

I understand he didn't play the white way right way

Dude, I don't doubt that was in some way part of it, particularly from management, but from the locker room? No way. This is crazy pills.

 

[Quick]

Also gotta love some of the hot takes I've heard so far talks about how "polarizing" PK was or how management didn't like his style...what?

"We don't like PK's lack of whiteness."

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Creeper, Red, Lam, Solo, Schu, Imbask...you got done dirty. It ain't right. This is legit horrifying. What in the holy fuck did PK do to turn EVERYONE in that organization against him?

Because he was Black.

 

[MetatronM]

It is done.

hope we get to see those $12 million cap penalties come into fruition lol

or the $24 million one year penalty

 

[Cake Boss]

Pierre McGuire wouldn't have traded Subban, does that automatically make him a better GM than BagainBin?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

I don't think we have to go that far. I don't have a hard time believing the Canadiens think they're getting an upgrade, as wrong as it is.

Y'all love Babcock right? The 2014 Olympics are pretty clear about who he thinks is getting the better player in this trade.

It's a young mans game but 30 isn't exactly that old yet.

Hockey while black.

Because he was Black.

Guys, c'mon. This isn't about race, PK was just too street for the Montreal Canadiens.

Confirmed as confirmed as you can get without a signed contract.

McGuire is going nuts holy shit.

Link?

 

[Holiday]

MCGUIRE LOL

HE IS GOING OFF

McGuire is going nuts holy shit.

Where can I see this?

 

[Stasis]

We will all forget that Hall plays in the NHL until the Devils actually play our respective teams

This is so true.

I forget the Devils exist completely until we play them. Hall is gonna score against us all the time I bet =/

 

[RC]

McGuire is going nuts holy shit.

He knows he'll never get another kiss from PK again.

HERE YOU GO NHLGAF

 

[Future Foundation]

Somebody talk to Toews.

Hey Webs good luck in Montreal thanks for leaving our division! #relief

 

[TheStruggler]

just heard the news, Montreal Gaf are you okay?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Huh.

 

[shadowkat]

Jesus fuck Montreal. What the ever loving fuck are you doing?

You gave PK no respek.


Creeper, lamaroo, red, imbask, schuey....all of HabsGAF. :'(

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Somebody talk to Toews.

LOL. He thought it was tough playing against Weber. Now he's going to play against Subban. Enjoy!

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I feel a lot of ways about what has happened today. Oilers got fucking fleeced and that's hilarious. Montreal got fleeced because they managed to ostracize one of the seemingly nicest guys and best players in the league. That's hilarious and sad and I feel real bad for the fans. Course, a former Hab is doing his best to do that to our entire team so...

Babcock also likes Dan Clearly, Matt Hunwick, and Chris Kunits.

Whatever Babcock likes isn't an all to be all talent evaluator.

Damn, always thought NHL was Simpsons generation.

 

[PillarEN]

Shoot. So Stamkos is gonna stay in Tampa. No sign and trade.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Canada trying to ensure no playoff appearances for the foreseeable future.

What the hell is happening.

jets have a damn good chance in 2-3 years if you can wait

 

[Khaliss]

Guys, c'mon. This isn't about race, PK was just too street for the Montreal Canadiens.

You wanna talk STREET? Donald Brashear back in the day was the streetest mofo around!!!!

I saw him walk in a Montreal club with his fur coat, purple high top hat, golden cane and two bitches on his arms.

All Subban did was give millions to help sick children pffff.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Canucks can still sign Lucic though >:

I know, but I'm saying we don't have to speculate about Montreal being racist or hating PK to understand why they made the trade. Weber is still loved by hockey people so I think it's pretty possible Montreal thinks they're getting an upgrade for a few years.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Winnipeg-Arizona Conference Finals 2018. Let's do this.

Vancouver has the budget to rebuild the city if the Canucks lose in the SCF again?

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I know, but I'm saying we don't have to speculate about Montreal being racist or hating PK to understand why they made the trade. Weber is still loved by hockey people* so I think it's pretty possible Montreal thinks they're getting an upgrade for a few years.

*not in Montreal

 

[JABEE]

I can't believe Stamkos resigned for $8.5 million.

 

[imBask]

Fuck it

#Respekt

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Well FUCK

The question isn't why do they like Weber, but why they dislike Subban, apparently so much.

 

[lamaroo]

Today is a good day

no

 

[MetatronM]

So the top 5 guys from the 2010 draft who are still with the team that drafted them are Jeff Skinner, Alexander Burmistrov, Mikael Granlund, Dylan McIlrath, and Cam Fowler.

 

[nubcake]

Well FUCK

Clearly the locker room cancer type, and also note the lack of grit.

 

[Ricker]

Subban noooo.Dumbest trade ever...no draft choices,just a one for one...? guess we will know during the press conference in 45 minutes...

 

[yyzjohn]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TORONTO AND MONTREAL LMAAAAAAAAAOOOO


TURDS LOOL!!!!!!!!!!

It's worse for Montreal, we never had Stamkos to begin with. Also plenty of Leafs fans didn't want a 10+ cap hit or whatever it would take to sign Stamkos here. Leafs are still on the right track, Habs are sliding into rebuild mode at this point.

 

[imBask]

Stamkos might be a blessing in disguise, the price might calm the fuck out of Okposo and Ladd who would've asked for 8M

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Nashville GM is sounds so fucking hyped for PK

 

[TheStruggler]

Winnipeg-Arizona Conference Finals 2018. Let's do this.

 

[Razorskin]

Well FUCK

Going to get triggered everytime I drive on the Turcot until it's removed.
