It apparently wasn't smooth sailing for Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban after being taken to the hospital by paramedics following his March 10 neck injury.

Subban recalled his Montreal ambulance ride following coach Michel Therrien's announcement Wednesday that Subban wouldn't be in the lineup Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. He is, however, travelling with the team.

"If there's one thing I gotta say, in the ambulance, the ride was bumpy, man," Subban said, according to TSN 690's Amanda Stein. "We hit a couple potholes on the way there and I was just like, 'Geez! I don't know what we're driving over here!' But it felt like it was a couple of bodies we had dropped and drove over, to be honest. Some of the bumps were pretty big."

Subban has not participated in game action since the injury, which came from an awkward collision with teammate Alexei Emelin.
