Kindred Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 from habsinsideout Subban provided the best laughs in the post-draft press scrums. When asked what his initials stood for, he replied:”Penalty-killer.” Subban is a 5-foot-10, 200-pounder who oozes confidence. He grew up as a Canadiens fan in Toronto, following in the footsteps of his father who immigrated from Jamaica as a youngster. “We have Canadiens stuff all over our house,” said Subban. “One of my father’s biggest thrills was meeting Jean Béliveau. He was almost in tears.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d80jcrant Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Confident kid -- The most confident kid taken in the entire draft was Montreal's P.K. Subban, a defenseman out of Belleville, who says his dad is "the biggest Habs fan in the world." Subban spoke to the media for over a half hour Saturday in one of the most entertaining scrums of the weekend. "To be honest with you, I go back to my OHL days and I was a sixth-round draft pick into the OHL," Subban said. "I was the third pick of the sixth round for my team in the OHL. I was a really late draft pick for the OHL, and to be honest with you, I'm not surprised at all I was a second-round pick. I'm a confident young man, I know my capabilities and what I'm going to bring to this club, which is a Stanley Cup." How long until you think you'll be ready to join the varsity? "To be honest with you, I think I'm ready right now," he said. "I think I can step in and make the team in September. I'm going to come to training camp in the best shape possible, and we'll see what happens." Subban said he has a huge Montreal flag above his bed and it's the last thing he looks at before retiring for the night. Saturday was the biggest day of his life, his dad's life, and the kid couldn't be happier on his way to one of the storied franchises in sports. "I want to cry right now," he said, "but I can't because I'm on TV." http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=323011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest habFAN Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 in a sense he almost sounds cocky. i love the confidence in this guy but he's gotta watch how handles and presents himself too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoser Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Subban reminds me a bit of Kris Letang. A later pick, small, but fast and with great offensive upside that overshadows his below-average defensive play. Hopefully he can continue to develop next year; his leap from his rookie year to his previous one was fantastic, hope he can duplicate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jennifer_rocket Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 This guy sounds great. I hope he can make the jump to the NHL in the coming seasons. Heck, if he does what he says he will and makes it in 2007-2008 that would be incredible too. I love getting players who love Montreal and desperately want to play here.

Dutch Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Reading all this stuff about this kid, I like him already. A Hab all the way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChriS_HigGinS#1 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 hes gonna be the next markov but not russain. hockey wise possibly, but personnality wise he's the polar opposite of Markov from what I've read and heard about PK. He seems to be a very confident young man with tons of skill, where IMO Markov is more reserved and quiet. (Probably has something to do with the language barrier however) I'm very excited about this kid and his story about being a habs fan in Toronto is very interesting aswell.

Unfortunately funny and outspoken won't cut it at training camp. But yup, he has a good attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habsfan#08 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 But that attitude might cause him to outshine a couple people. With his style of play he might be able to crack the lineup as a fourth liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
