P.K. Subban and Sean Avery trade chirps ahead of the Habs vs Lightning game
Two of hockey's biggest trash-talkers reignite their rivalry with a vulgar text exchange
P. K. Subban and Sean Avery trade chirps ahead of the Habs vs Lightning game If there are two names that continue to polarize hockey fans long after hanging up their skates, it's Sean Avery and P.
K. Subban. The two loudest personalities in modern hockey, both known for their larger-than-life characters, their craving for attention, and their controversial pasts, have reignited their rivalry in spectacular fashion ahead of Game 6 between the Canadiens and the Lightning.
Tensions escalated dramatically in recent hours after a screenshot of a text message exchange surfaced, proving that Avery has no intention of backing down. True to his instigator reputation, Avery fired off a particularly crude and direct jab at Subban, asking how uncomfortable he'd feel after a 5-1 Tampa Bay victory that evening. Subban's response?
A simple photo of himself adjusting his glasses with a defiant expression, accompanied by a short but confident prediction: "mtl 4-2. " The exchange perfectly encapsulates the dynamic between the two men - one resorting to raw provocation, the other exuding cool confidence and showmanship. A Bold Prediction That Sparked the Fire The whole saga began roughly two weeks ago when Subban declared on national television that the Canadiens would win the Stanley Cup this year.
