It was not a regular Thursday night in Montreal. P.K. Subban returned to Bell Centre ice, in front of a packed and loud building, to play against his former team for the first time. The building buzzed throughout warm-ups, for which Subban was the last Predators player to leave the ice. Prior to the monthly Molson Cup ceremony, a touching tribute video was shown to the crowd to celebrate P.K.’s return.
The moment, along with the cheering Montreal crowd, were too much for Subban to contain his emotions.
After the Habs’ classy tribute ended, Canadiens’ captain Max Pacioretty received the Molson Cup for the month of February, his second consecutive month earning the honour.
