For those of you who are unaware - You know how Don Cherry demands that the Leafs draft essentially nothing but good ol' Toronto boys, bashes anyone who isn't, and has a decent portion of Leafs fans worshipping everything he says? Well, imagine that every member of the Toronto media was like that, and you'll have the Montreal French-language media in a nutshell. P.K. neither looks like nor talks like them, so now that the team is struggling, it's no surprise that they're turning on him. They're probably getting a lot of it fed to them by their buddies in management, many of whom used to work alongside them in the media, and will likely return there once they're fired.
I've seen this play out too many times before - the media turns on a star player, the fans start to do so as well, and before long, he's traded away for peanuts. If the boo-birds aren't out for Subban at the Bell Centre tomorrow night, I'll be surprised.
