Real Olympic thread [[[[NO HOCKEY ALLOWED]]]]]

My position is balanced, PK is a good defenceman, probably worth about 5 x 5.5, but Norris Trophy and 5 x 9 is nonsensical, and it's only because he was a Montreal media darling, which ended up backfiring on him by getting him and his bloated contract shipped out to the boonies in Nashville.

That's not backfiring, that's winning. Nashville actually has a shot to win a cup in the future, Montreal, not so much. Cha-ching and cup contender, could hardly have gone better for PK. If that's backfiring, I'm sure he wants more of that in his life, regardless of what doublespeak label you put on it. Also $5.5 million a year is major lowballing of a top 10 NHL defensemen, you're a cheap bastard, maybe you just don't want to pay any NHL defensemen big money, is that it? That would actually make more sense than thinking PK is only good enough to be making $5.5 million, obviously a defensemen that good ain't going to settle for a contract like that, especially after winning a Fake Norris in a half season, be real.

PK doesn't want to be there, when he was on his bye week, what did he do? He comes back to the 6ix and goes to a Leaf game, why? To be seen by the media. He comes to play the Leafs, what does he do? He's sucking up to the media talking about how he'd like to play for the Leafs. Goes to Montreal, more media attention, as Gallagher said, PK's gotta make it all about PK. He's a pathological media hound, for an ego like Subban, being out in buttfuck Nashville is exile. Case in point, he never would have won his Fake Norris if he had been playing the whole time in Nashville.

Subban likes it Nashville, he wants to win, your he prefers media attention to winning narrative is Montreal propaganda, hostile witness Gallagher would say that, wouldn't he? Especially now that he's getting paid, and has him name on the Norris, now all that's left is to win a cup, don't be fooled by butthurt ex-teammates playing on a shitty hockey team. Maybe before he got paid he wanted the media attention more than winning, so he could get his fat ass contract, but now they he got paid, he choose Nashville to be traded to for a reason, and you are just being silly by pretending he doesn't want to be there , because butthurt is chirping him for being a media whore.

Media whore is cool with me, not sure why you think it's pathological, he just one of the few hockey players with an actual persoanlity so of course a good chunk of media likes him more than boring cliche answer giving squares, big shocker that.

Winning the Cup in Nashville don't count, it's like the Raptors winning the NBA title, nobody cares.

PK wants to be like LeBron, and you can't be LeBron, playing for the Raptors.

PK does. He doesn't care who he wins with, as long as he wins. Why isn't Crosby demanding a trade, it's not like winning in Pittsburgh is that big a deal either.

You're being silly, most players don't care about that shit. Not everyone wants to play in Toronto or Montreal, don't be stupid. Maybe he wants to play in Toronto, now that they are good, but back when he got traded, that wasn't the case, and the only reason he would want to come to Toronto now is because they aren't shit anymore, and have shot at winning the cup down the line.

Bullshit, PK cares, some players don't, Crosby is from Cole Harbour Nova Scotia, and he doesn't like media attention, PK is a whole different animal, PK grew up in the 6ix rooting for the Habs, he's a pathological media obsessed egomaniac, he knows that winning for the Raptors don't count, it's the same for the uppity black Americans, you gotta win it in America for it to be the real deal, in hockey, you gotta win it in Canada to be a 6ix God.

Crosby doesn't care, but he's not from the 6ix and he's a hockey nerd not a media hound.

PK doesn't care so much that he wants out of Nashville. That's a misread based on him not being as boring personality wise as Crosby. You are reading too much into him being good at media and not shying away from it, and leaping to the silly conclusion that this is all that drives him. He would rather have a stanley cup than play for the Leafs and never win a cup with them, thinking he would prefer to play in Toronto and never win is silly, obviously if he can have his cake and eat it too, that would be optimal, duh, but that doesn't mean all he cares about is the media spotlight. It's like you think he's Trump or something, just because he's less boring than 99% of hockey players, bad read dude, that's just a bad read.

PK would be out of Nashville in a flash if he could make that happen, he would go back to Montreal in a heartbeat, even if the Habs sucked, Bergevin being fired and PK coming back to the les Habitants is his fantasy, it's so obvious it's ridiculous, PK loves Montreal like Jean Beliveau, and Montreal loves PK, that's what PK is all about.

Saying that the Preds are a lock to win the Cup and so PK has to stay there is silly, the Preds aren't really the favourites to win the Cup, they're not even that good, they have the same number of wins as the Leafs, there's several teams which are better than Nashville by a considerable margin.

Preds ain't a lock to win the cup, but he does want to maximize his chances, and no he doesn't want to play in Montreal anymore, that's nonsense. Nashville is one of the best teams in the league, especially come playoff time and just because he might rather be on Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, maybe even Boston, that doesn't mean he wants out of Nashville ASAP, it's hilarious that this is what you think, settling for Montreal again is laughable.

[Smitty-48]

PK wants, desperately, to be up there in the Pantheon, with Jean Beliveau, Guy Lafleur, Rocket Richard, he can win five Cups in Nashville, and that doesn't move him any closer to the Hockey Heavens, and nobody knows this more than PK.

Does anybody who matters give a fuck about Eric Staal winning the Cup in Carolina? Nope. Lecavalier winning the Cup in Tampa? Nope. It just doesn't rate, if you don't win it in the center of the hockey universe, PK knows.
