P.K. Subban says he wasn't hushed by the Nashville Predators.

His absence had many speculating that the former Norris Trophy winner was held back by the team. On Tuesday, Subban cleared the air, telling reporters we wasn't restricted from talking to the media ahead of Game 6, according to Joe Rexrode of The Tennessean.
He added that he simply forgot about his media appearance.
