It's rare that we can tell in the moment, that a star is being born.
More often, years later when an athlete is at the height of his or her career, someone will look back and say, "Remember that night? Who knew such a run was beginning?"
Someday, if Malcolm Subban becomes the player the Vegas Golden Knights are hoping he can become, Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins may be that moment in time. His beginning in the bigs.
Subban had previously started two NHL games and they had both ended in disaster with him getting yanked and finishing the night on the bench.
Getting drafted in the first round of the 2012 draft placed unrealistic expectations on Subban and at age 24, the Bruins gave up on him and placed him on waivers.
