P.K. Subban expects ‘fun atmosphere’ in return to Bell Centre
MONTREAL — No one expected P.K. Subban to slide quietly into town for his first game against the Montreal Canadiens, but what a splash the flashy defenceman made on Wednesday.
It stated with receiving a medal from the governor general of Canada for his charity work and continued with a packed news conference at the Bell Centre.
“It’s a privilege to play in the NHL and it’s a privilege to be a player who is traded out of Montreal and still have this type of support,” the Nashville Predators rearguard said. “Talk to a lot of guys who have been traded, I don’t think they would be standing up here doing a press conference when they come back.
“So I’m very honoured and happy to know that, in the Mecca of hockey, fans still support me and are behind me.”
