Alternating pattern means Subban could be Game 4 hero
PK Subban can be a mercurial player, and his play this postseason has been hot and cold.
In Game 1, Subban was the villain due to his vicious slash on Ottawa rookie Mark Stone, a play he could have been suspended for but escaped without supplementary discipline.
In Game 2, Subban was the hero who was on the ice for every goal of a 3-2 win and helped the cause with a booming one-timer to give Montreal a 2-1 lead.
In Game 3, Subban delivered a hit on Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson that took Subban out of the play and led to an Ottawa goal.
So what happens in Game 4 on Wednesday night? Only time will tell, but if the pattern holds true, Subban could be the hero who helps Montreal to a four-game sweep of the Senators.
One thing is certain: it is hard to stay mad at Subban. Just look at how he spoke to Elise Beliveau, the widow of legendary Canadien Jean Beliveau, after Game 1.
According to The National, Beliveau tried to reassure Subban by telling him Game 2 would go better. In response, Subban told the media he wanted to be better for Mrs. Beliveau.
"That's not something that Mr. Beliveau would do," Subban reportedly said of his slash.
