  What sort of stats are you looking at, or are you just trolling? He's played huge minutes ever since he came up to the club, against extremely good competition (typically their top lines), and put up decent points. If you look at his advanced stats, he is easily in the top 30 defensemen- an elite talent. Defense also tend to mature into better players rather slowly, so if you measure him against young defense (I believe HEOTP uses defense drafted since 2007?), he is in the top 5. Near guys like Doughty, Pietrangelo, Duncan Keith, Brian Campbell. Not to mention he's had to deal with a ridiculous amount of crap- people questioning his character, attitude, etc thanks to to the nature of hockey coverage in Canada. Even putting aside this, he is easily a top 2 dman on the current roster who can eat minutes, draws a ton of penalties, improves possession numbers significantly, and improves the play of everyone on the ice. You don't pay this sort of player $3 million- whatever the prestige of the club in question. If Bergevin hasn't offered $4.5-$5million they are idiots. I sound like a Subban nut. I'm just sick of people throwing BS about his lack of production or capabilities or other shit we can't measure like 'character' or him being a 'dressing room cancer.' IF we lose Subban, and the price is less than 2 firsts I will be pretty disgusted with the organization. It's great to see Markov playing so well a short time into the season but if history is any guide he WILL get injured. Lowering his TOI with an elite defenseman like Subban would help to some extent in preventing this. He would also draw the attention of forwards hoping to take runs at our D and injure Markov, and I'm far more confident in Subban's youth and physicality than Markov's.

  You are a sad troll. Trying to conflate the complex language politics in Quebec with 'racism? You are trolling, or have no idea what racism is. Pathetic post.

  What makes you think he hates you hahahha? You sound very defensive- why does Boone's ridicule towards Thomas make you feel defensive?

  I'm agnostic/atheist myself, and very much in favour of same-sex marriage, but it's foolish to dismiss the bible as irrelevant, considering the vast majority of our ideas about human morality are Biblical, or at least Christian in nature. Personally I think you should be able to pick and choose things from the Bible, as there is a lot of crazy stuff but there is also lots of stuff that can make people happier.

  If you say he robbed you because he is black...probably.

  A 'majority'? I'm 100% sure that a majority (as in 50% +1) of people in Canada, the United States, and even most western democracies support same sex marriage. Thomas and the religious right are the dinosaurs...hating and discriminating against a group of people based on their sexual proclivities. He is more than welcome to publicly make a fool of himself by expressing his increasingly archaic, bigoted views.

  I don't think one's "rights" should extend to restricting other groups rights based on their sexual practises. That said, Tim Thomas is irrelevant and his opinion basically worthless, considering that the source of his fame in no way makes him an authority worth listening to on the topic he has chosen to publicly advocate against.
