Let\u2019s be honest, P.K. Subban has never been one to hold his tongue, but this time he has clearly struck a nerve with hockey fans in Canada.<\/p>\n
Just minutes after Canada\u2019s heartbreaking 2\u20131 loss to the Americans, the former Montreal Canadiens defenseman decided to play with fire on social media.<\/p>\n
We can agree the timing was awful to post something that seemed to celebrate the victory of our neighbors to the south.<\/p>\n
Subban shared a “Thanks for comin'” that went viral in the blink of an eye, right when emotions were at their peak.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no getting around it \u2014 seeing a former Team Canada gold medalist sending praise to the United States with a small American flag did not go over well at all.<\/p>\n
The pill is even harder to swallow as some see it as a direct jab at Cale Makar, the face of Canada\u2019s defensive corps.<\/p>\n
“Former Canadian Olympian PK Subban took to Twitter to celebrate Team USA’s win today”<\/p>\n
– Puck Empire<\/p>\n
PK loves the spotlight and knows exactly how to get a reaction from the crowd to stay relevant in the media.<\/p>\n
But this time, he managed to alienate a ton of supporters by showing a lack of sensitivity toward players who had just left everything on the ice.<\/p>\n
P.K. Subban sparks backlash after social media post following Team Canada loss<\/p>\n
The rivalry between Canada and the United States is no longer played only with a stick and a puck \u2014 it now plays out on our phones.<\/p>\n
For many, this is a total lack of respect toward the uniform he once proudly wore during his own career.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, it must be admitted that Subban thrives on this kind of controversy that gets people talking from coast to coast.<\/p>\n
He achieved his goal: everyone is talking about him instead of analyzing the game, proving he still masters the art of division.<\/p>\n
