PK does a great job selling the game. He is absolutely right about hockey being the best live sporting event to go to. My first ever live game was a playoff game. Fell in love with the sport that night.
My first game was in Columbus last game against the Avs in 2012. Cbj needed a win and a Minnesota loss to make it. Absolutely wild experience even though Minnesota won lmao
This man taught me how to skate while living with the billet family in Belleville…forever grateful to PK for all he’s done for me personally and glad he’s trying to get new fans into the game! Much love from Belleville PK!
I dont see any other espn show putting any emphasis on hockey period. Kudos to pat for bringing hockey to the espn masses other than highlights and game recaps.
I hope ESPN's pre-game hockey coverage gets more fun like TNT's. PK is the perfect guy to lead an entertaining pre-game show that isn't just guys sitting at a desk going through the motions of what pre-game shows have been, boring, for the longest time.
I grew up a Montreal fan and I'm 27 years old now. In my teenage years watching Pacioretty, Subban, Price was just amazing , Subban was my favorite player. No matter what everybody said he left everything on the ice and put all of his heart and soul into the game of hockey when he was wearing the Habs jersey. I know there was politics involved in the locker room when he got traded because of Gallagher and other players complaining but it was never the same when he left!
Pat, as an Indy Native and a huge hockey fan now living in Chicago, please have a weekly hockey guest on to help promote the show. You’re doing awesome things for hockey! Love PK!
PK is probably one of the biggest players in terms of growing the game. This man has always been and will always be authentically himself. PK in Montreal was the best thing to happen to the NHL when it comes to growth. Subban family is spectacular the entire way through.
@S_67Fthey need better marketing. The sport is in a good place, look at the markets that are winning, warm weather states are producing high level hockey which is crucial...they just need to do a better job marketing and growing the sport
pk was one of the best hockey players who turned non hockey fans in the USA into fans. my friends who knew nothing about hockey would want to know more because of the defenceman on the Canadians looks like he has so much fun playing.
Been a pk fan since he was a rookie and big fan of the show. It was awesome to see pk on! Fit in well with the fellas and is truly a great ambassador for hockey.
those uptight condescending frenchies couldn't handle having a boisterous black man be the face of their team, so they ran him out of town the Habs are a joke
My first hockey game was an ECHL playoff game, and our local team got a shorthanded game winner in double overtime. Absolutely fell in love with the game.
Same, the guy is beloved in the city and rightfully so. PK really was one of our best defenceman and the one-two punch combo of him and Marky was something else, man.
today i got a preds jersey with subban’s name on it for my first jersey! he is so cool. i highly appreciate and respect him for the things he’s done. electrifying, high energy player and a wonderful person!
PK mentions that hockey is the best sport to watch live and he couldn't be more right. I have converted 2 friends into being die hard hockey fans just by bringing them to a game. I think a really big part of it is that you're so close to the action. If you have seats in the front row, next to the glass, you're about to have some of the most talented athletes in the world performing amazing feats inches away from you. You might get lucky and have a goal celebration right in front of you. You're jumping up and down, they're jumping up and down. You're in it! You're celebrating that goal right there with your team. With the goal scorer himself! It's amazing. I know Pat talked about how the refs are a part of the game, a part of the action, in one of the "Hockey is Awesome" segs. So are the fans. You can feel that at a hockey game more than any other sporting event. Hockey is AWESOME!
No better sport than Hockey. I truly love it. UA-cam TV is allowing the sport to grow! I was able to watch before but it was as accessible. Now, YTTV has it there!
My first ever game was Tampa Vs Colorado and lemme tell ya. That building was electric. The more exposure the better cuz hockey is only gonna get better and more talented athletes.
You need fighting to keep the rats away. Even the instigator rule has prompted the infestation of RATS in the NHL. Instigator Rule- A player who starts a fight will be given an additional 2min minor for instigating. (Therefore if you run around being a RAT and the other team wants to hold you accountable, the RATS team will most likely benefit on the PP.) Also a player who receives an instigator penalty in the final five minutes of the game or overtime receives a one-game suspension. NHL RAT- a player who deliberately plays with intent to injure.
Love seeing hockey get more and more exposure through Pat's show. Casual or new fans should defintely watch Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Vegas Golden Knights, Chicago Blackhawks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and as a biased Penguins fan you should watch Crosby and Malkin when you can as their careers wind down. There are more like Ovechkin's goal record chase is great but the capitals are just not as good a team as they have been, and some up and coming teams with young soon to be stars.
Ive seen Mcdavid play in Erie in the OHL many times. His speed blew me away back then when he was young and he has only gotten faster!!! He is must watch TV
The US didn’t care about hockey once ESPN dropped hockey. Now hockey has far more NHL teams in the States (25)than Canada has (7). Instead of a niche, elitist sport, hockey is becoming a bit more mainstream. More states, cities and communities have youth hockey. The biggest problem with hockey is it’s the most difficult team sport to play. First, and most important, you must be able to skate. Therefore, most people don’t have the same connection to hockey other sports have. Kids play baseball, basketball, soccer and football so they have connections to those sports, even if they only play in their backyard. Access to ice isn’t available everywhere. I’m glad to see hockey expanding its reach. I played as a kid and three of my four kids played. Such a fun and high energy sport. Go Flyers
An older hockey player that was McDavid like was Denis Savard. Denis had moves that a lot of of players in the NHL just couldn't handle. I believe Connor is like 6'1"and 190 whereas Denis was about 5'10" and maybe 160 to 170. Watching Denis play hockey was a real treasure despite the fact he and the Canadiens roughed up my Bruins up a lot in the 80s.

I'm a Bruins fan and I love PK. He would have made the 2010s Bruins a dynasty. Amazing skillset and he sounds fun to be around.
A live regular season game is already awesome. Can’t imagine my first game being a playoff game!
As a leafs fan..I love PK and hockey in general. My team is cursed but the league has so much consistent talent it’s unbelievable
I've dragged my wife, who hates sports, to baseball and football games over the years, but she actually enjoys being at MSG to see the Rangers play.
Have to have PK regularly. His energy about hockey is awesome.
they have the same voicr
This man taught me how to skate while living with the billet family in Belleville…forever grateful to PK for all he’s done for me personally and glad he’s trying to get new fans into the game! Much love from Belleville PK!
Great story
I saw him play for Belleville, couldn't believe he wasn't picked in the 1st round
Pat and Co. might be single handedly bringing hockey to the masses in the states and I for one am pumped. Thanks for doing what you're doing! 🇨🇦
I dont see any other espn show putting any emphasis on hockey period. Kudos to pat for bringing hockey to the espn masses other than highlights and game recaps.

Him and Mark Messier are surprisingly entertaining together
PK The hockey gods have picked you to bring the sport to the masses. You are the right man for the job. Big love from Minnesota.

Michel Therrien was such a bad coach as well
@@mistmomohe lost his voice. Understands the game.
Pk segments weekly please! Help hockey grow you guys are great
💯
Pat you do a great job promoting the NHL! great interview

The thing that separates hockey from all other sports is the humility of it's players and team first and foremost mantra. Let's keep it that way
Love to see Cooley get some recognition! That kid is already so much fun to watch.
NHL has now become my #1 sport to watch!! Solid sport! Solid all around league!!!
Best sport worst run league
@@mithex8414very true sadly
@S_67F run by a bunch of morons who dont know how to market or grow the sport.
@S_67Fthey need better marketing. The sport is in a good place, look at the markets that are winning, warm weather states are producing high level hockey which is crucial...they just need to do a better job marketing and growing the sport
Hockey and football are the best sports no doubt.
pk was one of the best hockey players who turned non hockey fans in the USA into fans. my friends who knew nothing about hockey would want to know more because of the defenceman on the Canadians looks like he has so much fun playing.
I never comment and have no idea what’s going on in hockey, but this guy is a must for weekly hockey talk.
Been a pk fan since he was a rookie and big fan of the show. It was awesome to see pk on! Fit in well with the fellas and is truly a great ambassador for hockey.
When I first saw PK in Hamilton, I knew he was different. Love him. I wish he never was traded from Montreal
Same, him staying in Montréal would have been amazing. We would have absolutely had a cup with him there.
those uptight condescending frenchies couldn't handle having a boisterous black man be the face of their team, so they ran him out of town
the Habs are a joke
My first hockey game was an ECHL playoff game, and our local team got a shorthanded game winner in double overtime. Absolutely fell in love with the game.
We miss PK here in Nashville, he was a great ambassador for the game and did some really cool stuff for the community when he was here.
As a habs fan, I have nothing but love for PK
Same, the guy is beloved in the city and rightfully so.
PK really was one of our best defenceman and the one-two punch combo of him and Marky was something else, man.
I’m a bruins fan and love PK. Miss watching him and Marchand battle
You can’t appreciate hockey until you see it live and hear the sounds of the game. It’s an eye opening experience.
It's a much more violent sport when you see it up close
It’s the one sport I feel bad to going to with friends. I will never talk to em during the game eyes are constantly glued to the ice
Have PK on more, he’s great at discussing hockey and has tons of charisma
Yes PAT!! love hearing the hockey pieces almost everyday now. keep it up!
suban is a real one for sure
pk is such a fantastic ambassador for the sport. his hit on marchand will go down as one of the best hits in the game.
What a guy, Hope to see PK on here some more :D
I love that you guys are doing hockey now !!
Pat moving his head back and forth and had the small tennis clap when pk brought up tennis is what makes this great. 😂😂😂😂
today i got a preds jersey with subban’s name on it for my first jersey! he is so cool. i highly appreciate and respect him for the things he’s done. electrifying, high energy player and a wonderful person!
PK was dead on when he said no one has ever done what McDavid's done. He does EVERYTHING at top speed
Pavel Datsyuk wasn't called the magic man for no reason. McDavid is insane but to not even mention the others that have movement like this.....
@@ericdement7865Datsyuk had some of the best hand of all time. But he did NOT have the speed McDavid does
@@ericdement7865Datsyuk didn’t beat guys with movement he had some of the best hands of all time
@@ericdement7865PD wasn’t doing it at McDavid’s speed.
Except win
Would love to see PK as a regular!
💯
McDavid is so good. Everyone needs to watch his highlights.
In the finals?
PK as a regular & talking puck?
You got my sub
I still go back and watch PK lighting up Marchand with that bee stinger check when I feel down. gives me a good laugh.

I saw a game lower section. I couldn't see much. I've seen a dozen games upper deck, and you can see so much more.
Damn tuned in for a minute and loved the whole interview. Keep PK back!
As much as I was sad to see PK retire, it’s great to see him doing good outside of playing
Bring PK for more Hockey segments👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You guys gotta get PK on here regularly! such a great face for the sport! (Now that hes not in the league anymore)
When i watched a game in person it blew my mind.
Pk was always himself in Montreal, but he understood the prestige and responsibility of wearing the jersey of that franchise .
PK needs to be a regular on the Pat show for sure
It is amazing watching a live hockey game, as a canadian at 62 yrs old our family lived in arenas
Super awesome to see you guys talk hockey
No better sport than Hockey. I truly love it. UA-cam TV is allowing the sport to grow! I was able to watch before but it was as accessible. Now, YTTV has it there!
Awesome interview. Love it
Hockey is probably the most real sport in the world! These dudes go hard every game! No divas no bs! The winter special is amazing!
i am ready for more PK! Lets go!!
My first ever game was Tampa Vs Colorado and lemme tell ya. That building was electric. The more exposure the better cuz hockey is only gonna get better and more talented athletes.
Hearing pk tell players to check their ego at the door is probably the funniest thing i will hear all year
Being a Wings fan Pavel Datsyuk was from another planet talentwise- As much as a still hate the Avs all these years, MacKinnon is a beast.
I never liked PK as a player, but he is great for the game. It would be awesome if he could call in once a week during the season.
💯
Hockey talk with PK would be another amazing weekly segment. Just sayin.

hearing PK say "check your ego at the door" is f'n highlarious!!!
This guy is awesome. I’m not a hockey guy but I liked Pk being on
You should become a hockey guy. It's a fantastic sport
PK and Pat is a bromance never knew I had. Let's go.
Nobody in the history of hockey could fire his team up like PK.
P.K's energy is infectious👍
Love this guy he was a great Hab😂🔥🇨🇦
"Be yourself because everyone else is taken." Miss you PK mon Canadiens
Shut up frog
PK is a beauty and was only reason to ever pull for the Habs
People like you Pat covering the sport and having guys on
Hated PK when my team played against him but love him as an analyst! Need for PK for sure!
What a cool dude, great player too
PK is a great hype man for the sport.
Hockey is easily the greatest live sport as a fan. If you haven't been to a game, you need to go.
Go Knights go!
Thanks for supporting hockey Pat

“You can’t touch Jack Hughes, you do that you get a 2 piece combo” 😂😂
Ive seen Mcdavid play in Erie in the OHL many times. His speed blew me away back then when he was young and he has only gotten faster!!! He is must watch TV
This is the kind of diversity that works. Dude had hockey talent and has charisma.
saw pk a bunch in the OHL - everytime he had the puck everyone would boo .. he was a beast physically and mentally
Badass interview definitely rooting for this dawg 🙏🙏
Not even a hockey fan but need PK on regularly
Hockey back on ESPN is going make the league better and PK as the face of hockey on ESPN is really going to help.
PK one of my fav Habs ever
Gotta show some Nathan Mackinnon highlights. An absolute beast east coaster
Gotta love PK
PK so well spoken!!
We need more hockey interviews
Love this guy 🇨🇦🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸

NEED to have PK regularly
The league should hire PK to run their PR campaigns!!
massive respect for him
just wasn't a fan of the team he was on
Great interview
Awesome segment boys🇨🇦
Hockey is on the rise. Hockey is the future. Stay on it fellas💙
It’s the guy who was in LOL Canada! I almost didn’t recognize him from this angle…
No one loves PK Subban more than PK Subban
Love it!! Go DUCKS! 🔥🔥🔥
As a bruins fan, I never liked PK, when he was playing
As a hockey fan, I’ve always respected him on and off the ice
Cheers brethren!!
a fan of really every sport. but hockey just takes the cake theres always something intriguing going on
PK is great.get him back on
Subban Saturday's!!!! Let's gooooo!!!
PK's nickname for Jack "MVP" Hughes is best in the league
PK weekly would do the program good!
