Breaking: Former NHLer claims Subban was silenced by Preds after violating team rules.

Earlier today we reported on the fact that P.K. Subban may have rubbed some of his Nashville Predator's teammates the wrong way during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but now there is even more evidence of tensions between Subban and the Predators.

Former National Hockey League player Georges Laraque commented on the situation Monday during a segment for 91,9 Sports FM, and according to Laraque Subban got himself in some hot water after violating team rules.

According to Laraque, Subban's partnership with the Listerine brand as a result of his "bad breath" comments, or more precisely the timing of that partnership, was a violation of Nashville Predator team rules.

Laraque also stated that the reason Subban had not been made available to the media was a result of a punishment imposed for that violation. After being traded from Montreal, reportedly at least in part for his attitude problems, this is the last thing Subban's image needs in Nashville.
