Call it “The Revenge of P.K.” or maybe “The Return of the Triple-Low Five.”
P.K. Subban is hosting an All-Star Comedy Gala to benefit the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation for Just Laughs. He’s also having a lot of fun at the expense of his former team, or at least the Canadiens’ management group.
Video will be added if a clip of his antics becomes available, yet onlookers have done a great job of capturing some of Subban’s best one-liners.
Hey, at least when someone gets roasted, he or she is sitting a big recliner, trying to laugh things off.
... and we all thought the #JFLMTL Roast Battle concluded over the weekend. Ha!

One can almost imagine Marc Bergevin and Michel Therrien cringing as Subban dropped bomb after bomb:
"Good Luck With That" - country song that #PKSubban dedicates to #Habs hoping to win cup under Therrien's system! Lol #JFLMTL #charitygala

Ouch, he even took a shot at his former owner’s lager:
"Can someone get me a beer?" asks @PKSubban1. "a good beer, none of that Molson stuff." #JFLMTL

To be fair, Subban isn’t the only one slamming the Canadiens for the trade.
Peter Keleghan is up next with an angry "eff you" letter-writing skit about the #Habs trade. #jflmtl

Again, he reminded the hockey world that this is a big win for creative celebrations:
#Subban "now I'm free to do as many low-fives as I want" #JFL

Again, though ... it IS for a good cause. Don’t forget that as you laugh at the Habs’ expense.
#Subban "People say that laughter is the best medicine. But you know what's better... Medicine. Way better" #JFL

Subban's comedy gala raised $130,000 for the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation

He wasn’t all negative, either:
OK guys, now @PKSubban1 gives a big thanks to the @CanadiensMTL organization, hugs Mme Beliveau before the cheque pic.twitter.com/iZqkHvYeCI

Stand-up seems like a natural fit for Subban’s personality. Really, it makes you wonder if he might earn a certain hosting gig in the future:
The #JFLMTL is just more evidence that PK Subban needs to host the NHL Awards show this year and every year.
