I didnt see that coming.

I initially really didnt like PK, I thought he was an arrogant showboater but I think for the most part that was just the hallmark of a young player finding his way in the league and in the meantime hes largely won me over, I'm a big fan of PK, his style wouldnt be my preferred style, but hey, to each their own.

I wonder if Scott's beef with PK has more to do with a lifelong, lowly-paid grinder being somewhat upset at a young star? Interesting either way.

Apparently, that bit from Jon Scott was from a long time ago, before he met PK.

“I didn’t know what was going on,” Scott told TSN 690, as transcribed by the Montreal Gazette. “I just tried to figure out what’s going on and I find out it’s because of this ESPN piece I did a long time ago and they’re running it yesterday. I didn’t even see it really. So I’m just trying to put some fires out and tell everyone like: yeah, I said that a long time ago.

“I honestly hated everyone I played against, so it’s not anything personal against P.K.,” said Scott. “I hadn’t met him at that time and now that I’ve met him I actually like the guy. He’s a good guy off the ice. But on the ice I don’t like him and that’s just all there is to it. I’m not going to back down from that comment. I didn’t like playing against him, I didn’t like some of the antics he did. You’re allowed to not like people. It’s not always rainbows and butterflies. So everyone I hope please stop mean tweeting me.”

Scott added he believes Subban is a "world class talent" and is "one of the best defenceman in the league." However he said Subban's personality on the ice can rub opponents the wrong way.

"As an opposing player, sometimes when you're losing 5-1 to that team and he's still whooping it up and doing his high-fives, and doing all these celebrations, it gets under your skin and that's going to happen, especially when he's such a talented player," Scott said.
