At first glance, it looked like a normal mantinel duel, without a point. However, Sammy Blais of the New York Rangers fell ugly on the ice and began to writhe. He resigned from the match against New Jersey and never returned.
PK Subban has dangerously undermined four opponents, eliminating one by the end of the season
Repeated shots revealed the cause – Devils defender PK Subban kicked his right leg. Blais injured his knee and the season ended for him.
One procedure can be a coincidence, maybe two. However, Sammy Blais has become Subban’s fourth victim in the last month and a half. In the preparatory match, he met Blais’ teammate Ryan Reaves. Three weeks later, Milan Lucic ended up on the ice after Subban’s intervention, for which the NHL decided to punish the Devils defender with a $ 5,000 fine.
Not even a week passed and PK Subban performed again, this time tripping Trevor Zegras from Anaheim. The league increased his fine to 15,000, but for a player with a salary of nine million, this was not a significant hit on the wallet.
Undermining, in the English original “slew foot”, is a dangerous foul in which a player in a fight knocks an opponent off with his feet or skates, as a result of which he falls on the ice. He finds it difficult to defend against him and often ends in injury. It occurs only rarely in European hockey – it is automatically sentenced to five minutes plus the end of the match. It’s not common in the NHL either. However, Subban shows him quite often, although without a significant penalty.

IT WILL NOT BE AFFECTED
NHL fans are calling for a tougher penalty for the Canadian defender. The player security department often refuses to act. New York Rangers wrote in an open letter about the incompetence and incompetence of Chief George Parroso last season, for which the NHL imposed a heavy fine on them.
However, Parros recently confirmed the words of the Rangers to both Slovak fans (no punishment for Sidney Crosby, who dropped Martin Fehérváry’s guard) and Czech (no punishment for Marek Borowiecký, who ended the season with Dmitry Jaškin with a foul on his knees).
PK Subban is one of the most controversial figures in the league. It attracts a lot of attention with its eccentric dress, energetic game style and goal celebrations. He performs noble deeds, supports various charities and organizes beneficial events. At the same time, however, he has a reputation as an insidious and cowardly player who refuses to take responsibility for his actions.
“Subban will not fight me. What will happen? I’ll give him a cross, the referees will kick me out and the opponent will have a power play. I’d rather wait for him when he’s upside down and give him a point or something, “Rangers tough man Ryan Reaves told overseas reporters when asked why he didn’t seek revenge on Blaise.

IT’S JUST A VOICE
Despite recent events, Subban has supporters. “I can clearly confirm that PK Subban is not an insidious player. I talked to him and told me it was just a bad habit that came into play. I’ve whistled some of his matches and he’s definitely not trying to hurt any player, “ former referee Tim Peel wrote on Twitter.
He responded to a 28-second video featuring eight Subban underscores. However, the reaction of the former referee did not meet with understanding. For most, Subban remains the new king of filth in the NHL.
