Subban sticks by halitosis story
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Everyone loves a nice distraction. We have P.K. Subban to thank for the Stanley Cup final’s best yet.
The Nashville Predators’ All-Star defenseman, the morning after saying Sidney Crosby ripped on his bad breath during a run-in at the end of Game 3, doubled down on what seemed to be, from the start, a corny joke. Crosby, of course, says it was fiction.
“Usually when guys chirp after a game or during a game, it’s usually about your game or something personal. But he went on to tell me that my breath smelled bad,” Subban said on Saturday night.
It might not have been funny, but it could’ve been an effective way to needle Crosby, who he has clashed with throughout his career.
