Subban addresses alleged Pacioretty rift: 'Do I have to make out with him?'

Since the day Max Pacioretty was named captain of the Montreal Canadiens, rumors of an alleged rift with P.K. Subban have abounded.

The star defenseman, who was perceived to have been slighted by not receiving the honor, threw cold water on that in hilarious fashion as the team gathered for exit meetings Monday.

"Do I have to make out with (Pacioretty) to prove I like him?" he asked reporters.

Never change, P.K.

Barring a trade, both players are set to be foundational players in Montreal until at least 2019, when Pacioretty can become an unrestricted free agent.
