tikigods 76 Posted February 13, 2014 Team Canada looked weak today against Norway. As much as I love Carey Price, the goaltending for Canada is suspect at best. Very surprised PK Subban didn't see the ice. He is, by far, the best defenseman on that team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted February 13, 2014 Blacklist is legit. If almost anyone else but Spoader was in that role the show would suck. He brings it from a show that would likely get canceled the first year to top 10 in the ratings every week and one of my 3 must see shows. Blacklist , Originals, TWD - that are on right now.

IGotWorms 3,315 Posted February 13, 2014 The outdoor sports are looking pretty sh!tty thanks to the weather conditions.

Geezil 24 Posted February 14, 2014 I have enjoyed biathlon, luge, some ice skating and a bit of female hockey. I can't stand the gay announcer for ice skating so I have gravitated more towards the sledding or skiing events. Edit: I have nothing against gay people. He is simply the most annoying gay man on the planet. Like NBC did it intentionally to piss me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll hang up and listen. Look, I get that the vast majority of your posts are trolling expeditions, but I'll ask you a serious question nonetheless - would you really take P.K. Subban over any one of Duncan Keith, Shea Weber, or Drew Doughty? Even Alex Pietrangelo is having a better season in all aspects. An argument can definitely be made that Subban should be playing. Is he "by far, the best defenseman" on the team? Not a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best it did was imply that Subban should be playing instead of either Dan Hamhuis, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, or Jay Bouwmeester....which I never disputed.

Foghorn Leghorn 0 Posted February 18, 2014 The guy won the fvcking Norris Trophy. You can't really be this stupid. That's your only argument - that Subban won the Norris last year? Really? Bobrovsky won the Vezina last year....and is the backup for Russia behind Varlamov, who has won both of his games (though Bobrovsky should have had the win against the U.S. too but didn't, after Quick "accidentally" knocked the net off a quarter inch). And the "best goaltender" (using the same logic) couldn't even stop once, in four shootout attempts, a guy that has never once scored 20 goals in an NHL season? Still no comments about Keith, Weber, or Doughty, who happens to be leading the Olympics in goals (by a defenceman, no less), and is being raved about by everyone up here? Meanwhile, Subban has been totally forgotten about by every network, outside of maybe RDS and french CBC. Like I said....I wouldn't have a problem if Subban was in the lineup instead of Hamhuis or especially Bouwmeester, who should never have made the team in the first place. Subban's speed would be way more helpful in a matchup against the lightning fast US team than Bouwmeester's lead feet. Keith and Weber are the top 2 workhorses and are playing like it. I'm liking what Vlasic has brought to the team as he's the perfect compliment to Doughty, so I'm not sure I'd want to see him taken out of the lineup. Pietrangelo has been steady, but I probably wouldn't miss him if Subban subbed in for him. I get that you're a Habs fan but, unless Keith, Weber, and Doughty all get hurt, there's just no scenario where Subban is "by far, Canada's best defenceman".
