Is there some place where I can get that cool technical shirt PK is wearing with his likeness in the brand logo?

Subban : “Can you believe it? I was on top of him, I put my glove in his mouth and tried to rip his head off and he actually bit down on my finger while it was jammed in his mouth. Shit! I cannot believe the nerve of this guy. What if everyone starts biting my fingers when I ram them down their throat? I will not have any fingers left.”

It’s hard to say for sure, but it looks like Bellemare has already stood up when Subban reacts: i.e., sort of past the leverage point argument that B is trying to make that if you pull with your finger in my mouth you eventually are going to hit a pinch point. Plus, if it did go down as B says, Subban would probably have felt it earlier and pulled his finger out before it got to a really sore point. I think Bellemare instinctually bit him and doesn’t want to admit it for obvious reasons.

It has nothing to do with admitting anything. I am going to go by the rule that says if you don’t want your finger bitten, don’t put it in someone’s mouth. I am certain that B didn’t grab Subban’s finger and place it in his mouth and then chomp down.

Unless there’s clear video, I don’t believe it. Let people’s reputations and behavior mean something - PK is a great player, but he dives game after game. Why should I believe he’s not embellishing this time?

I think this is probably perfectly accidental on both sides don’t you? In the process of grabbing a guy, does Subban think to himself: I’ll piss that *#$%@& off, I’ll stick my finger in his mouth, cuz that will really piss him off and nothing bad could possibly happen to me (like my finger getting bit)?
Bellemare, for his part, maybe in the struggle bit down. That probably happens a lot. I use to wrestle, and guys on their back would bite me on the chest/arm all the time, because they were struggling their hardest and it just happened.
And I can really see Bellemare not wanting to admit he bit a guy. It’s considered cowardly.
