You think PK Subban was happy...???
Ask Pierre...


And the cleaner, longer version...

Montreal-Ottawa Was One Of The Year's Best... And That's Just In The Stands...

((HT: Sportsnet))

It was, probably, one of the best games of the year to date in the National Hockey League- and it, pretty much, featured everything. Long runs, lead changes, own goals, nationalism, and the fans getting involved...

For those not familiar with the geography of the situation, the nation's capital of Canada is on the riverside of the border of Ontario and Quebec province. And that river separates English-speaking majority from Quebec and their French-speaking nationalists on the other bank.

And the HQ would love to know how Habs fans bought seats in the lower bowl at Ottawa last night...

But, here's what happened on the ice...

And it even carried over into the stands in the battle of French and English-speaking Canada...


Here's the Sportsnet version...

Plekanec, Subban Exchange Punches At Practice

((HT: HabsInsideOutVideos))

It normally happens when teams aren't doing well...

And if you add the dynamic of struggle and an aggressive sport, you get what happened at Montreal Canadiens practice this morning...

PK Subban and Tomas Plekanec going at it...

Subban, not a surprise... Plekanec, a surprise...

Here's Plekanec talking about it- since Subban is already trying not to talk abot the whole incident with Krys Barch...


The Habs were coming off a 1-5 road trip- which means this makes even more sense...

Report: Panthers Barch Ejected After Slur

((HT: NHL/FSFlorida))

Here we go again...

This is the only sport that seems to have this continually disappointing angle to its machismo...

The Florida Panthers enforcer Krys Barch was apparently ejected from the Montreal Canadiens game last night after an alleged racial slur to the Habs' PK Subban.

The dust-up is at the :55 second mark...


According to FOSG Pierre LeBrun, linesman Darren Gibbs overhead the slur in question to Subban- whose parents are Jamaican.

Subban didn't hear whatever Gibbs thinks he heard and, in turn, reported to the league office. The next game for the Panthers is Thursday, so don't expect any decision until before the game.

More when we know more...
