Really worthwhile piece from The Montreal Gazette, describing the Canadiens' fathers trip. Included is insight from P.K. Subban's father, Karl.
On P.K. being a lightning rod for criticism: "Your potential lies inside of you, it gives you the ability to reach for something to become something," Karl said. "So it doesn't matter what people say around you, it's not going to change what's inside of you. There's greatness inside of you."
On the influence of the work of best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell: "Malcolm Gladwell says you have to spend 10,000 hours to master any skill," Karl noted. "P.K. started skating when he was 2 and we would go to Nathan Phillips Square to skate whenever we could. I remember watching a game with P.K. and Steven Stamkos. P.K. was 6 and Stamkos was 5 and you could see they were the best skaters on the ice.
"I never worried about how many games P.K. played, but I made sure that he put in the work and that he always skated a lot," Karl added.
