New Jersey Devils defenceman P.K. Subban won’t request trade from Devils | TSN
“Listen, in my career to this point, I’ve never asked for a trade and it’s because maybe I’m a little bit old school that way.

Miss you every day, P.K.

They ended up getting shelled 7-3, and I don’t think I’ve laughed harder at a team’s self-inflicted misfortune in some time.

“I just remember I saw the meme, and I had no idea where it was from. Then I did some research and saw it. I think it’s hilarious. And like I said: I like streetwear. So when I saw him with the hat and the track suit and the Air Pods, it was perfect.”
With Crosby back, are the Penguins among the favorites in the East? | The Hockey News
