Is Canada burning?

 

[830920]

I just couldn't believe it when I first saw that Hall trade, then a fucking Subban trade and shortly after Stamkos getting re-signed. It's like everything happened at once.

 

[KodaRuss]

Damnit, I was hoping Dallas would have had a shot at getting him via trade if the rumors were true.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Wonder how soon until Price demands a trade?

I HOPE ITS SOON

Price should go to Edmonton

Therrien won guys.

Therrien won.

Let that sink in.

This is the worst...

Regardless, I'm expecting it to be this season or next off-season. Price will want to get away from the team that fucked him and Subban so poorly

[Future Foundation]

Can someone break it down for us non hockey fans? Is this on the level of a team trading Lebron James?

Think trading Westbrook for an older, less expensive, not-as-good PG. And nothing else.

EDIT: Fuck, I forgot Weber was signed for TEN MORE YEARS.

The rest of the country watched Vancouver slowly destroy their team and prospect pool over the last 5 years. They're just starting to join them.

 

[Cmerrill]

I'm so happy. Subban lost more games by giving puck after puck after puck at each blue line than he ever helped win with his point production.

I was sick of his fancy moves losing pucks and giving other teams goals.

Fair fucking well.

Edit:Hopefully they opened up a bit of salary cap and pick up cam fowler now too.

Trudeau: "We need to build a wall. We are getting screwed over on these horrible horrible trade deals!"

I'd say Toronto and Calgary are up and comers.

if those were your issues with subban, you're going to despise shea weber

toronto will fuck up somehow

 

[NetMapel]

Canada was too much of an examplery country what with Trump and Brexit. It was only fitting that Canada be knocked down a notch or we'd be targeted for heavy immigration.

Subban was a +4 last season, Weber was -7.

Therrien, is that you?

Tabarnak.

 

[ColdPizza]

That stat doesn't refute anything in his post.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Just...

Fuck.

I blame Therrien.

 

[Cmerrill]

Subban was a +4 last season, Weber was -7.

I'd argue that Shea played in a much more difficult division than Subban. The western conference is way more difficult.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I still feel gross about this trade.

 

[Megasoum]

Everybody saying that Price lost his friend... Keep in kind that Price is actually a long time friend of Weber (who's also from BC).

Even Price's wife tweeted that she was happy to reunite with a Kelowna friend.

Nashville made the playoffs

Montreal didn't

Montreal's explanation for the trade courtesy of Darren Pang

Montreal was just fleeced

 

[Cmerrill]

Because they had Condon in net and not Price. That's pretty obvious.

Westbrook for Rondo? if so, then that's sad. It seems there must have been some political crap going on with the front office.

Wait... Did he just say "the white way"? the fuck

 

[rashbeep]

As a Leafs fan, I'm glad that two teams I loathe made themselves worse today.

 

[JABEE]

It's an old video. But Montreal has been floating locker room issue garbage.

 

[Anth0ny]

uhhhhh

wow.

 

[PillarEN]

This video always makes me laugh. But in all fairness Panger is a good dude. That slip of the tongue though... oh man hahaha

 

[VoxPop]

As an American who doesn't care about hockey like the majority of the population, what's the story here?

edit: nvm saw the posts

We joke in the NHL thread that it's because PK is black, but sometimes, shit ain't a joke.

There's been a ton of stories going around all season that PK has been having beef with management and some players, but they've been snuffed out repeatedly. But where there's smoke, there's fire.

 

[ParityBit]

As a Bruins fan ... YAY! No more killer (although I hate his crappy diving)

That being said .... WTF were they thinking? I would love to have him on my team.

 

[Kurdel]

Québec on life support after 2 very hard weeks

 

[TheStruggler]

Shea weber is a good player though, it sucks losing Subban but Montreal just gained the hardest shot in the league and a veteran

People just have to take a look at how guys like Andrew Shaw and Brad Marchand are treated by the media, compared to PK.

And a 10-year contract.

I honestly think the color of his skin has nothing to do with it. It's his personality and refusal and rightfully so to change who he is. Marchant is hated and trashed by everyone, not sure if that was an example for or against the racism angle.

 

[Brinbe]

Seriously, it's really a shame that he got forced out for seemingly stupid reasons and that Habs management should be rightfully excoriated for this awful deal.

It's the type of deal a franchise/fanbase mournfully regret when the next management team eventually comes in down the road. Though in this case, I'm sure the majority of MTL is out for Bergevin's head right now

Just in isolation, why the fuck would you take on 10 years for a guy exiting his prime?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hmmmm

 

[excelsiorlef]

Oh no the Habs got a 20 goal scoring defenseman that is all of 3 or so years older than PK.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

This bloody team is the WORST!!! We were a piece or two away from being champs... Now this?!?!

They essentially picked Therrien over Subban. This is what just happened. They picked a garbage coach who cant win anything, over Subban. A Norris winner.

Pretty much *flips work desk*

With Marchand, people go "oh you" when he elbows somebody, or does some dirty shit, but with Subban they get angry every time he celebrates a fucking goal.

Just like they hate Ovechkin and Jagr or any other exuberant player. That is just stupid old school hockey shit, its not skin color. I have never heard anyone ever say anything positive about Marchand or say "oh you" people fucking rage over him.

 

[BorkBork]

...that's in the declining part of his career and signed until 2026.

 

[Future Foundation]

There's about to be a conference call on TSN for Subban. Listen in if you can.
