Interestingly enough, while Subban is pounding Turris when he's most vulnerable, only one player is tapping his stick in support. Now after watching the video in slow motion several times and trying to identify the player's number I am 90% sure that it is Max Pacioretty. Recall that Subban was upset with Pacioretty earlier in the game after receiving what he thought was a suicide pass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_meJEp1KS6E). Maybe this was Pacioretty's way of apologizing?
Everybody knows the play, PK Subban jumps Kyle Turris and decides to start landing bombs even when he's got him down on the ground breaking an unwritten rule of hockey. Interestingly enough, while Subban is pounding Turris when he's most vulnerable, only one player is tapping his stick in support. Now after watching the video in slow motion several times and trying to identify the player's number I am 90% sure that it is Max Pacioretty. Recall that Subban was upset with Pacioretty earlier in the game after receiving what he thought was a suicide pass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_meJEp1KS6E). Maybe this was Pacioretty's way of apologizing? However, when being led off the ice afterwards none of his teammates even acknowledge him. In fact they aren't even looking at him, instead making an effort to avoid eye contact. The two players closest to Subban are Andrei Markov and Raphael Diaz, with Peter Budaj on the side. Notice how none of them even react to Subban being led off.

From the moment he broke into the league Subban has rubbed his own teammates the wrong way almost as much as the opposition. He's a very talented player whose egotism will limit how much of an impact he makes. Now compare Subban's attitude (and his teammates toward him) with that of Karlsson...now here's a guy who thinks team first and consequently whose teammates love him.
