I don't see what the big deal is that Pens fans hold a grudge over it. I don't recall anybody booing him before that happened. If the reverse were true and one of the Pens cut Subban with a skate Montreal fans would probably boo that player for a long time. Matt Cooke cut Karlsson with a skate and the team owner was ready to open a forensic investigation. Lucic running into Miller was a huge deal to Sabres fans. Habs fans don't like Kreider for running into Price. Pens fans are hardly the only ones to hold grudges over something that other fans would view as no big deal.
Not necessarily because Habs fans stopped booing Staal for his knee on knee on Markov.
Also, Cooke is a known commodity with the longest rap sheet in the NHL. Subban hasn't gotten a suspension. Not really the same thing.
Listen, I get the booing. That's fine. It's the insinuation that it was on purpose that bothers me. Grudges should die down.
