Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt has learned a valuable lesson over his two seasons in Las Vegas about gripping his beverage a little tighter when Malcolm Subban is around.
One of the goaltender’s favorite jokes is to playfully swat water bottles out of his teammates’ hands.
“He’s something else,” Schmidt said with a laugh about Subban’s propensity to show a more reserved side around the cameras than the one on display around the locker room. “He’s an awesome guy. He’s funny, he’s outgoing. He’s always screwing around with somebody. He’s a lot different behind closed doors and then he puts his pads on and you immediately see just this serious side.
