In a recent interview, P.K. Subban praised Jake Walman's electrifying "The Griddy" celebration during a Saturday night clash between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens at the iconic Bell Center.

Subban, known for his flair on and off the ice, said,

"Saturday night, Jake Wallman performed and executed probably the sexiest celebration and griddy that we've ever seen in NHL history."

He marveled at Walman's ability to execute such a dynamic celebration on a razor-thin blade, calling it "insane and crazy."

Jake Walman, the man of the moment, provided insight into the inspiration behind his unique celebrations, stating,

"To be honest, that's just me like off the ice too. I'm always, dancing, having fun. Definitely, the first time I thought about it, was a little premeditated."

He revealed that the idea originated from his teammates, who encouraged him to bring his off-ice energy to the rink.

"The boys on the team kind of got me going. They saw me do it off the ice and they said, you got to do that on the ice," Walman shared.

Drawing inspiration from NHL legends like Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Kane, Walman expressed his desire to be a figure that inspires others to have fun on the ice. Subban resonated with this sentiment, saying,

"This is what the NHL needs. We need personality. 90 percent of the people love it. And then there's those 10 percent that don't, but I'm not doing it for that 10%. I'm doing it for the kids that love it."

With Patrick Kane set to join the Red Wings, fans can expect even more excitement as two celebration maestros share the ice. Walman hinted at having more celebrations in store, promising fans an entertaining season ahead.
