PK Subban Sends Bedard and Zegras A Ridiculous Message After Their 'Michigan' Goals
In the aftermath of two jaw-dropping lacrosse-style goals in the NHL, delivered by emerging talents Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks and Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks, former NHL defenseman P.K. Subban has shared his thoughts on these attention-grabbing maneuvers.
While Subban showered accolades on the impressive skills exhibited by Zegras and Bedard, describing their moves as "absolutely disgusting" in a positive context, he didn't shy away from addressing the flip side.
"Trevor Zegras, Connor Bedard, absolutely disgusting," Subban exclaimed. "In that moment, they expose not only the goaltender but all 5 players on the ice, embarrass them in front of 20,000 and millions of people watching from coast to coast. I think it's absolutely awesome."
Despite his overall positive sentiment, Subban revealed he'd take action and go after Bedard if he attempted such a move while Subban was playing.
"Is this great for the game? Well, I don't know," Subban pondered. "I'm telling you something, if I was playing, I'd probably take a swing at 'em."
Subban's mixed reaction to the extraordinary goals underscores the fine line between admiration for skill and the competitive fire that propels elite athletes.
His comments may subtly caution the young NHL stars about the potential reactions from players on the receiving end of such dazzling plays.
