I love PK but I have to admit some of his traits rub people the wrong way. The other day the 2 hosts of TSN1040 afternoon shows debated whether people like PK Subban or not. Of course they took a lot of calls which basically had many fans saying they likes what he brought to hockey but one of the host's said that PK is all about himself first and the team 2nd. He said go look at the team photos after he is part of a winning team and Subban is always dead center in the pic.
After Canada won the 2008 WJHC where PK played as really as the 7th D-man;
After Canada won the 2009 WJHC;
The team photo after Canada won Olympic gold in 2014, where PK did not play much at all... bad breath no an issue here it seems;
.. and the reason this caught my attention was because I remembered when Nashville won the conference Final a week ago that Captain Mike Fisher came on to the ice to accept the trophy despite the fact that he couldn't play in the game due to injury... and I made a note of it at that time that PK wanted to make sure he was right next to Fisher when the team photo took place;
Some people will say these pics are nothing more than an enthusiastic PK happy after being part of a winning team while others will say it is a player who thinks about his own branding first by making sure he knows where to be in the team photos all the time. Either way you can see how it might rub some fans and teammates the wrong way.
