Report: No hearing for Subban after ‘sneaky but obvious slew foot’

PKSubban

Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban won’t face any supplemental discipline for an apparent slew foot on New Jersey’s Patrik Elias, according to TVA’s Renaud Lavoie.

Here’s a GIF of the play in question, which preceded Montreal’s game-tying goal (the Habs would go on to win in a shootout, 4-3):

Elias didn’t take issue with Subban following the contest.

“I’m not going to blame anyone,” the veteran winger told NorthJersey.com. “I tried to get back. I tried to get in front of him and use a pick a little bit for Rico and when I saw (Henrique) was getting the puck I tried to get back and kind of fell down.

“I don’t know if I just lost an edge or we ran into each other.”

In a column for TSN, ex-NHL referee Kerry Fraser called Subban’s move “a sneaky but obvious slew-foot,” and said both Elias and Subban should’ve been whistled for penalties (Elias for interference, Subban for tripping).
