I hinted at some issues this morning, but the word is out now that Alex Radulov and AK46 broke curfew the night before game 2. According to John Shannon of Sportsnet the two were spotted in Scottsdale Arizona at 4am. (who do they think they play for? Ottawa?) (just a little joke)

I for one completely applaud Barry Trotz and the Preds for making this bold move amidst the playoffs. The Predators have built a serious hockey culture in Nashville and this kind of disrespect can't be allowed. The concept of "team-first" is ingrained into Predator players from day 1. It's part of what I love about an organization where the players know the GM and Coach aren't going anywhere. Knowing many of the guys on this team personally, I can assure you The Predators will be a better team in game 3 because of this decision.

What say you?
