Controversy followed P.K. Subban a lot when he was a player. It looks like things are no different since he retired and became an analyst with ESPN.

Subban, a former Norris Trophy winner during his playing days, is receiving some flak for comments made regarding the Toronto Maple Leafs and a very popular plus-sized celebrity.
Subban was on the air commenting on the Leafs' in game 1 of their second round series against the Florida Panthers, when he referred to Toronto as needing to bring more to their game.
"Listen maybe they need to pack a Lizzo sized lunch. They weren't prepared in my opinion." - Subban

Subban was making a reference to the old hockey cliché of needing to bring your lunch pail to the game and be ready to work, something he felt the Leafs weren't prepared to do last night.
Subban's analogy isn't sitting well with many.
