Stay on topic and be concise. Stimulate debate. He is also crazy, which I suspect is what it takes for many goaltenders to decide they want to, in fact, be goaltenders. He was He played in one NHL game in the following season, He finished that season in the AHL, where he lead the team to the Calder Cup championship as a year-old. He is the youngest player to ever win the Conn Smythe. He was 20 years old. It would be counter-productive to their development by putting them in a situation they aren't fully prepared for.
They reach their prime at a later age because they take longer to develop, and much longer to adjust to the nuances of the pro game than the forward and defensive positions.
This is why the AHL rules. You'll all see when Niklas Svedberg is Tuukka's back-up this season and is the most awesome of all the back-ups. Which brings me to my point.

So whoever that is, they'll get dealt with, but it's completely separate from this league or the Boston Bruins organization. Canadiens coach Michel Therrien met with Subban on Friday night to see how he was feeling and to ensure his player knew he had the team's support. We condemn bias and hatred.
It has no place in our game and it's not acceptable. Subban, as he was in Game 1, was booed every time whenever he had the puck Saturday.
He had two assists on the day. He also talked of the NHL's diversity—"tons of players from different backgrounds, from different places around the world and that's what makes this league so special and that's what makes sports so special.
