Thanks for clearing things up. So a player with a career ending injury who signed his contract at 35+ better not retire, if he wants what's good for the team. What a weird little work they built for themselves.

Does anyone know where it is? I have some info to add that will clear up any remaining confusion; mostly due to my previous understanding of it.

Tension between Subban and veteran blueliner Hal Gill appeared to surface Tuesday after the rookie scattered his equipment around the dressing room, which gave the impression he was treating the equipment staff like servants.

Noticing what was happening, Gill picked up Subban's jersey and handed it back to him, saying, "You're an a--hole, P.K."

Seeing the surprised looks on the faces of reporters around him, Gill added, "And you can write that."

Stunned by his teammate's reaction, Subban began to apologize, though it appeared to be too little, too late for Gill.

"As my dad said, your excuses aren't going to get the lawn mowed any better," Gill shot back.

The team, in past situations, tried to make it appear as though it was just a situation where if he was on your team you'd love him but if not then you hate him. Clearly PK is a little too cocky and feels he's more of a big shot than he is. It's not entirely his fault since he's become a media darling and his skills have been overblown. He's probably constantly gushed over and told he's awesome so it's hard to stay grounded with that, the money he makes, his already out going attitude and personality and his relatively young age.
