Subban in tears during long Bell Centre ovation in first game back with Preds
MONTREAL — Tears streamed down P.K. Subban’s cheeks as the standing ovation went on and on.
It was clear that the former darling of the Bell Centre crowd, back for the first time since his trade to the Nashville Predators last June, still held a special place in the hearts of Montreal Canadiens fans.
“I wasn’t really sure how I was going to feel,” Subban said. “I played a lot of hockey games in this building.
“A lot of great things happened in this building and in this city while I was here. All those memories come back, whether it’s stuff to do at the hospital, with the kids, family, teammates., emotional hockey games. We shared that with all the fans and the community here.”
