PK Subban a scratch tonight

[shook81]

This was out of line. Completely groundless in this case. I have no problem with you calling it when you see it Donions. Let's make damn sure you see it first though.

He was responding to this part by Panger, which is completely out of line with racist overtones:

Maybe concentrate on not tripping on those lips (reminds me of Bubba in Forrest Gump).

Oops - thanks Shook - missed that completely - in that case - rah! rah! Donions and my humblest apologies. I should have known better actually now that I look at the User ID's

Doesn't help Subban that Weber has an assist and is +3 today...

Yup and Hammer has been a rock the last several games - it's hard to see how you want to put the rookie back in when all you are doing is succeeding. His time will come.

I don't his healthy scatches as negative reinforcement - more like reality therapy.

another article on the situation....

Josh Gorges, from the article:

"He's a good kid and he gets along with everybody on the team," said fellow defenceman Josh Gorges. "His enthusiasm about coming to the rink and playing is fun. Guys will jab at him, but that's just friendly and for fun. There's definitely nothing wrong with the way that he acts in the room."

It should have read like this:

"He's a good defenceman and probably the second best on the team," said fellow defenceman Josh Gorges. "His enthusiasm about coming to the rink and playing is scary for us low-skill veteran defencemen. Hal and I jab at him, but that's because we're afraid of losing our jobs. There's definitely nothing wrong with the way that he acts in the room, and I'm surprised I'm not the one who got scratched."

Subban a scratch again tonight.

It'll continue that way until there's an injury or they lose a game. If they lose, Martin will label one of Picard/Spacek/Weber the goat and Subban will take his place. If I were Subban I'd start playing rough in practice. Maybe a 2-hander to Spacek's legs will get him back in the lineup.

Man taking a gamble and grabbing subban in a one-year no add/drop money pool is not turning out well for me. Could have had Enstrom, byfuglien, etc but figured I'd take a gamble and hope subban hit 40+ with some good pim. Oh well.

Damn....another cold night in the doghouse. Thanks, gfhyde.

Time to trade him.

Good news everyone. 2 things:

Subban is in the lineup tonight! Weber will be a healthy scratch.
