It has been an interesting week for the Boston Bruins.
Last Saturday, they lost to the Canucks in a wild, tension filled game that wasn't over until the clock reached 0:00. Backlash from Vancouver (surprise surprise), Shawn Thornton and Mike Felger catching a Vancouver columnist off guard on live tv, Brad Marchand getting suspended five games for his "clip" on Sami Salo and later getting threatened by Alain Vigneault were all entertaining storylines in the wake of that disappointing loss.
Because of this, many fans (myself included) wondered where Vancouver now sits on the Pantheon of Hockey Villains. I placed them at the top, taking Montreal's spot as the team that I without a doubt, unequivocally loathed.
Well, it didn't take long for Montreal to grab their spot back. Like a boxer who had lost a championship fight in an upset, Montreal's actions in their 2-1 loss to the Bruins last night put them back on top.
Of course it started with none other than P.K. Subban, the immensely talented but absolute scumbag defenseman. With the Bruins up 2-0 thanks to goals by Jordan Caron and Milan Lucic, Subban launched his body towards David Krejci, elbowing him in the head, which was the initial point of contact.
Andrew Ference then saw the hit and stepped up to defend Krejci, who has a history of concussions. Subban obviously saw Ference coming and stood up for himself, squaring up with Ference like any other hockey player would do.
Just kidding, he turtled to the ice, covering his head and lying down on the ground while getting dragged around like a dog. Was he ashamed of his actions? Nope, he popped up and smiled about it. It's all a big joke to Subban. I mean how do you look yourself in the mirror and be proud of yourself, not only as a hockey player but as a man. More importantly, how do your teammates think of you? Probably like a loser.
Speaking of losers, Montreal's front office clearly has no tolerance for any players caught using the L-word in interviews, as evidenced by last night's in-game trade that sent Mike Cammalleri to the Calgary Flames for Rene Bourque.
So let me get this straight. A player on a struggling hockey team calls himself and his team out for underachieving and he gets shitcanned DURING a game? Insane.
Everyone knew something was up when Cammalleri wasn't seen on the Habs bench for the duration of the third period. Jack Edwards broke the news during the game and I instantly went on Twitter for some sort of confirmation.
I can't believe that Montreal has the balls to give up one of its most talented players and a Bruins killer at that, yet continues to employ a jackass like Subban. Just another classic example of Montreal being Montreal. I hate them once again.
