Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn will not play Game 3

[gti175]

Nashville Predators forwards will not play Game 3 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday as a result of violating team rules.
"The Nashville Predators have a few simple rules centered around doing the right things," Predators president and general manager David Poile said in a statement. "We have always operated with a team-first mentality and philosophy. Violating team rules is not fair to our team and their teammates."
The Predators trail the Coyotes 2-0 in the series. tsn.ca

Supposedly they were out until 4 am the night before game 2 which was a 5 PM start.

[SlimZ]

Omg thats fcked up

[JerseyRobby]

This is either a rallying point or the begining of the end. According to Keith Jones losing Radulov can only help lol.

[Allure]

Radulov has been worthless this series. He is clearly getting frustrated on the ice and is hurting his team

This sounds like an excuse to make Radulov a healthy scratch basically. They dont want him to play, this way it protects his ego a little bit.

You know these Russian players dont care about the cup, they just want to party

[icecapper]

Strip club got the best of these boys. They didn't grow up dreaming of winning a Cup, flights already booked back home.

Hanging at that " golden eagle " in sun city youngest entertainer is 55 lol

[Mike Huntertz]

Strange that the line was -180 and still is?
Rich Boy has this right.
Ruskie has a jaded re-entry back.....team may like this one.
They did well without him.

Flyers just completely shit the bed.

Bullshit. The real report is that they were seen at a bar 45 minutes away from their hotel in Glendale at roughly 11:30 pm. Also, reports say that Trotz was giving both Radulov and Andre shit in the hotel lobby room at 12:45 am the same night. What got them in deep trouble was that they had an early start that same day.

Its clear that these 2 guys are terrible team mates and don't give 2 shits about winning the Cup or not. For all we know this could be more of a plus for the Preds rather than negativity. Down 2-0 heading home its desperation time, they cannot lose Game 3 or its over.

oh man i love betting against desperation teams. it's going to be tough NOT to play PHX tomorrow night

I've watched Nashville all season and I believe this may be a blessing in disguise. At least I hope so. Guess we'll find out tonight

[Rich Boy]

I am speechless

What kind of crap is that?

[Fl6j66]

Radulov seems to be cooperative with people in authority everywhere he plays.

[k13]

Addition by subtraction.

[Ethan1122]

WOW, that may be the craziest thing I've ever seen on a hockey bench.And he is where I seen the 4 AM thing

[byronbb]

I wonder if the whole team was hung because they played like SHIT in game 2.
