Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It's strange how nobody has mentioned the mere fact that "Subban" is the Swedish word for "b**ch". Considering how many Swedish players play in the NHL, and PK Subban's reputation as an irritating pest, I wonder how they can bottle in the laughter. This is absolutely not a knock on PK Subban, nor on his surname, as it is likely not derived from the Swedish language; I think he's a very promising young player. I do find it funny that his surname fits his on-ice persona well, as he can be feisty, mouthy, and perhaps a nuisance to some of the league's stars. When Swedish viewers, and especially players, look at the back of his sweater, though, and see "B****, 76," I think it's tough not to chuckle. http://translate.google.com/#sv|en|subban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think the majority of the posts in this thread should be read as trolls copying other trolls. DeltaSwede, the poster, mentioned this one time about the Subban thing. I think it's pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClumsyGoalie Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 All those people calling you racist are fools and trolls OP, and just think it's funny to play follow the leader on a message board. Anyways, that's a hilarious fact, something to bring up next time he acts up, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think it's just the irony of foreign names meaning something else in another language...Like Satan,who used to play for Edmonton and Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksBen Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The "pene" pasta (same pronunciation). Somebody gets what I'm talking about. Apologies to those who thought I was trying to offend. That was certainly not my intent, and I do believe I'm steering clear of anything that could be considered racist. It is interesting, in a Swedish fan's eyes, to see somebody running around chirping with such a word on the back of his sweater, even if it's a coincidence.
