Ahead of Montreal's loss to the Ottawa Senators Thursday, The New York Times considers what Canadiens forward Colby Armstrong called P.K. Subban's "good confidence and swagger" is often viewed by opponents as cockiness. Subban does not shy away from the verbal game on the ice, and that is something that his childhood friend Nazem Kadri of the Toronto Maple Leafs said separated Subban from others.
"That's what drives people crazy: he's a good player, and he runs his mouth a little," said Kadri, a fellow Ontario native, who played against Subban in minor hockey and then in the Ontario Hockey League.
"When good players are chirping and running their mouth," Kadri added, "it just makes the other team want to kill him that much more. Then next thing you know, he's putting one in the back of your net, which makes you even more angry."
Subban does not deny his verbal skills, but he knows that he needs to be more careful in the playoffs.
"We know with the playoffs, everybody's going to be watching your every word you say, every little quote, but I don't care," he said. "You're not going to get any bulletin-board material from me."
