PK Subban, who won gold in the 2014 Olympics while playing for Team Canada, was toasted by a colleague ex-nhl player after sending excitement over President Donald Trump’s call to Team USA before the 4 Nations Face-off final between the two countries.
Akim Aliu, an Ukrical-Canadian hockey player who has jumped around in several countries while playing seven matches with Calgary Flames in the NHL, responded to a post from Subban on X.
Subban’s post was in response to Trump saying he would call Team USA before the 4 Nations Face-off final in Boston against Team Canada, which they previously beat in the tournament.

“That trizzy took [train and smoke emojis] Could get through soon, “wrote Subban.” Keep an eye on! “
That led to a long -term post from Aliu, who started by saying that he knew the Subban family well.
“I have seen you a long way and never said anything of two main reasons. 1, as I am the respect I have for your brothers and parents, and 2 I have always wanted to keep in battle between people in color to a minimum.

“This was something I couldn’t let go of -,” Aliu added.
Aliu continued to exhaust Subban – which is currently ESPN analyst – ultimately calls a “shame” and a “humiliation of the country you were born and raised in.”
“I have known you since I was ten years old and played with you, so I will say that I know you better than most at a deeper level. You were a hell of a player, and instead of using your platform Did you do everything in your power to gain acceptance and popularity, nothing with you has ever been genuine but transactional and usually of advertising.
“Even during levels would shine through to push back on rhetoric about annexation and humiliation of the country you were born and raised in, but even it doesn’t make you do the right moral.

“This is the reason every place you have played – nobody liked you and players on the inside has always known who you really are – one sold out of the highest proportions. You are the perfect example of why people in color don’t have progress at the highest levels of society.
Subban has not publicly responded to Alius comments about him.
Aliu, who was born in Nigeria and eventually another round of choice of Chicago Blackhawks in 2007, has played many teams since then.
He recently had a stint with San Jose Barracuda, AHL associated San Jose Sharks, after signing a professional trial contract during the 2023-24 season. He appeared three appearances for those where he did not constitute any goals.
Aliu has also played professionally in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Russia and Sweden over his career.

SUBBAN has a much longer NHL career, making three all-star teams over its 13 years as one of the league’s top defenses.
He not only won gold in Sochi in 2014 with Team Canada, but he was also a World Junior Championships winner at the country in 2008 and 2009.
