Bartkowski needs to be smarter

Edit : not that it's not a flop
 
How can Bart be "smarter" when he didn't do anything wrong?  Bart's smarts have nothing to do with Subban being hit by an invisible grenade.

I hate that fucker like nobody's business, but I hope Chia empties the bank for him when he's a free agent.

Can a guy not get a reputation for diving and then start not getting the benefit of the doubt on any call? What the hell NHL?

Helpful hint, when you have to keep qualifying with "Maybe he embellished it," then Bartkowski didn't throw him down.

I hope the Bruins don't go near him with a ten foot pole. Fucking diving cheapshot artist has no place on the Boston Bruins team.

I get what you're saying, but I just couldn't cheer for him. I have issues with Marchand at times, with Subban it never stops.

I do need to watch on slow mo DVR but I thought he clutched a bit and gave Subban the chance to make the dive.

Agree that the diving is infuriating and hate when refs reward it.

Subban jumped up into the air and threw his feet out from underneath. It's a contact sport.

For me it's gotten a lot harder to hate Subban. The diving is awful, but it's mandatory in Montreal, evidently. The guy is an awesome player

Horseshit. On the hateable douchebag scale, Chris Nilan had chunks of 10000 Subbans in his stool. And Boston fans had no problem whatsoever cheering for him when he returned home to wear the black & gold.

Dude is fucking good but what an amazing flop
 
This is the most frustrating part. He's really fucking talented, but he can't help being an incredibly unlikable hockey player.
 
If he wasn't such a douche, he'd probably be hugely influential to black kids, who might otherwise not care about hockey. But as a casual viewer, if you see the best black dude in the sport get booed daily, you might steer away from that.
