P.K. Subban just can’t get no respect.

It’s bad enough that fans in every rink around the league boo him. That Mike Babcock would rather walk naked down Yonge St. than have Subban on his team. That the media in other cities routinely diss him.

That I can live with. What kills me though is that there’s no shortage of folks right here in Montreal who are not fans of the Subbanator, starting with a number of people who work for the same organization as him.

Marc Bergevin doesn’t much like P.K. Neither does that most warm-and-fuzzy of coaches, Michel Therrien. And there’s an argument to be made that he doesn’t have a lot of pals in the Habs dressing room.

The Bergevin case isn’t even up for discussion. You really need evidence? Your honour, I would like to take you back to the summer of 2014 – not that long ago! – when the Canadiens and Subban went to an arbitration hearing when they were unable to hammer out a deal for a new contract.
