In a turn of events, that I can only describe as pure awesomeness, PK Subban will be at the 2011 NHL All-Star festivities in Raleigh, North Carolina.
PK was already back home in Toronto visiting family when he received a call from Brendan Shanahan offering him a chance at the gig. Unfortunately, he won't be playing in the game Sunday. PK and a group of 12 rookies will have the chance to participate in the skills competition Saturday night.
Someone in management at the NHL must have read my last blog and decided he deserved a chance! It had nothing to do with Subban finishing 7th amongst all defensemen in All-Star voting.
Unfortunately for Subban he's going to have to buy a new suit. The rookie told a reporter at Canadiens.com that he only brought casual clothes when he left for Toronto.
Go rock them Subban! I wonder what skill competition he'll be in? I can see him doing well in the hardest shot or fastest skater competitions but we'll have to wait and see what he participates in.
Cheers,
Patrick
