He knows how to handle himself.

Question (and this place oddly lacks in Hab fans, but...): Should PK Subban be named captain of the Montreal Canadiens?

On the one hand, he obviously has character both on the ice and toward the press, he is easily their best on-ice player, and I believe he has been taking French lessons (not that that should matter at fucking all, but, Quebec).

On the other, man oh man how many articles are going to be written about how the captain isn't "leading by example" when he does something petulant or game-costing out there?

Tough call.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience there DL.

Nice article, he seems focused and well grounded. Great attitude.

I think the other FN refugees will acknowledge that I was the prime defender of PK Chelios there.


Easily the best Canadiens skater.


And well spoken.


I'm a big fan.

That's all true of course. And, I must admit you've been right about PK. I'd love to have him on our team in DC. As opposed to Green for example.

I second this

Not saying much Slappy. You'd rather have a bag of hammered dog shit as Green.

Didn't they just sign one?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I will never understand that one. What were they drinking July 1?

 

[Canuck eh?]

Didn't they just sign one?

Yep. And they gave him a Leafs' contract. Too much and too long.

I second this

I third it. The Flyers could use some grit on the blueline these days.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Any fan of any team that tells you they wouldn't want PK on their blue line is lying.

Unless they're hoping for a strong entry in the Connor McDavid sweeps.

Maybe only half a bag?

Slappy and I have shared many deep conversations like this one you reference
