Subban says Preds didn't prevent him from talking to media
P.K. Subban says he wasn't hushed by the Nashville Predators.
The Predators defenseman became the talk of the series with his promise to win Game 3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, his on-ice wrestling match with Sidney Crosby, and the whole Listerine fiasco, but then he mysteriously went silent, not talking to the media for three days ahead of Game 6.

His absence had many speculating that the former Norris Trophy winner was held back by the team. On Tuesday, Subban cleared the air, telling reporters we wasn't restricted from talking to the media ahead of Game 6, according to Joe Rexrode of The Tennessean.
He added that he simply forgot about his media appearance.
Subban says he was supposed to talk the day before Game 6 but forgot. Regrets that #Preds PR took flack for a simple mix up.

With the season in the rear-view mirror, Subban can go quietly into the night, but if history tells us anything, it won't be much longer before he's making headlines again.
