Hilarious !

Some of those comments are unbelievable. #delusionaljealoushabsfans

This one was my fav:

Difficult question to answer, but what I can tell you is that I'd take Subban on my team over Karlsson 9 times out of 10. As much as I can't stand him, Karlsson is a wildly talented offensive defensemen, although it seems like 50% of his points are secondary assists on the PP. But Karlsson is an absolute pylon, we're talking like Letang/Gonchar style pylon-ary, and he's small. So if Karlsson ends up being a consistent 60 point defenseman, and Subban ends up being a consistent 45 point defenseman, I'd take Subban based on physicality and defensive prowess.

This is why I steer clear of HFBoards, or internet message boards in general, other than this one. You can't argue with these people, and it just drives you insane, and wastes your time.

The small # of people on this forum, and the fact that most of you (don't make me name names) seem to be somewhat logical beings capable of reason, keeps the insanity to a minimum.

I like alanna's response.

The latest:

Calgary Flames ‏ @NHLFlames
We apologize for a tweet that was sent out from our account inadvertently. We are looking into the matter.

Ha. Right. Suuuure.

I guess they didn't like Dreger's rumour...

I couldn't resist. I posted a reply. Just cold, hard stats. But I'm sure they'll still argue with me.

It's pointless dude.

Comparing them this season does not make sense. He's having a horrible season and has been involved in fights, arguments with the coach etc... much of which can be attributed to the embarrassingly horrible season the Habs are having. Karlsson's having a breakout Norris-worthy season so they are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Habs fan will look long term and will focus on Karlsson's defensive shortcomings, the Sens fan will look at Karlsson's sick stats and hockey IQ and point out that Subban and the Habs suck this year.

I do like Subban's physical presence and his aggressive nature, but he's been making horrible decisions and mistakes all season long that have been costing his team. We know the kid can score, he's got one hell of a rocket, so the points will come for sure. They just gotta tame the beast. Pair him with a savvy vet like we did with Karlsson.

Karlsson's defensive game will continue to improve and he'll become a more complete player over time.

Will be interesting to see these two in 5 years.

I also didn't realize that!

Caps pound the Habs 4-1. Leafs pushed down to 10th. Caps in 9th.

Delicious.

Avs pounded the Blue Jackets 5-0 tonight.

Ruffalo wins in a shootout v. Bruins.

This guy? Did he sign a $10 million, two-year contract too?



Sounds like he earned it if he won it in the shootout though. Worth every penny.
