Mario Tremblay drops P.K. Subban insult during DUI arrest

Mario Tremblay is one of the most vocal critics of Montreal Canadiens star P.K. Subban, although you might not have heard it considering it's on French language media.

The former Habs coach has constantly slammed Subban’s professionalism and attitude. It sometimes seems excessive; perhaps the better term is obsessive, considering that Tremblay will use Subban’s name as a pejorative.

During a DUI arrest.

Tremblay was arrested in January 2014 for doing 79km/h in a 50km/h, and refused to take a Breathalyzer test, which led to his arrest. From the Globe & Mail:

According to Le Journal, Constable Maxime Perron, a police officer in the town of Mascouche, told the court that he intercepted Tremblay on Jan. 25, driving at 79 kilometres per hour in a 50 zone.

The police officer testified that even though Tremblay was chewing gum there was a smell of alcohol on his breath. Perron said Tremblay protested when the officer asked for a breathalyzer test.

“You can’t do that to me, I am Mario Tremblay,” Perron quoted the former coach as saying. Perron said Tremblay then started insulting him when he placed him under arrest. “He compared me to some hockey players, [saying] that I was like `a P.K. Subban’, that I had no judgment and that I was being petty.”

“You can’t do that to me, I am Mario Tremblay” might be our new go-to excuse for ill behavior.

Glad Tremblay attached that explanation to his slag on Subban, or else the cop might have been thinking, “Why yes, I am very much someone who is excellent at his job in the face of constant criticism from idiots.”

But we do wonder what other players Tremblay evoked to insult the officer. “You’re like a Patrick Roy, publicly shaming me for my ineptitude before moving on to better things…”
