Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki has had plenty of time to hone his skills as a table hockey player, and he’s also been able to gauge his progress by recently going head-to-head with former defenseman PK Subban.
In a text published on Wednesday, the Habs’ official website published the video of an episode of the series “PK’s Places” presented by the channel ESPN+ in the United States and on the international stage, all accompanied by a photo showing the two men cross swords in a friendly match. And for the occasion, the gaming table was set up in the middle of the Bell Center ice rink. For anyone interested, it was number 14 of the Bleu Blanc Rouge that had the upper hand 3 to 2.

However, the two one-day opponents discussed different topics during Subban’s visit to metropolitan Quebec, where he was the subject of a ceremony on January 13th to highlight his achievements for the club. Thus, Suzuki admitted that in his youth he was not a supporter of the Montreal formation, but that he could see the ex-back at work several times on television. What exactly did he learn from him?
“That you could score goals in the breakaway group. I was able to learn some of your maneuvers; Spinorama maybe?” he replied, referring to Subban’s goal against Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask in Game 3 of the second-round series in 2014.
A dream
As for himself, the captain shared the joy he feels when he plays in Montreal, a joy that his interlocutor can certainly understand. The dream of winning the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens lives on in him, especially since he has not forgotten to take part in the 2021 finals. “Being so close to victory makes you even hungrier. “Hopefully there will be more such courses here and we will continue to rely on a dominant team for many years to come,” he said.
– The Canadian’s website recalled that “PK’s Places” is currently closed to the public in the country.
