NHL 15 Cover Vote Road to the Finals Recap
P.K. Subban
P.K. Subban defeated Toronto Maple Leaf’s leading scorer Phil
Kessel in the first round. In the second round, it was a battle
between two of the league’s top defensemen when Subban edged out
Los Angeles Kings superstar Drew Doughty. The social media
campaign to support Subban has been one of the most effective
and engaging throughout the Cover Vote.
Patrice Bergeron

Karlsson in the first round, and then narrowly took out elite
forward T.J. Oshie from the St. Louis Blues in the second round.
The social media support behind Bergeron’s Cover Vote campaign
