Go Predators!

I saw nothing wrong with Jones's assement even if it bordered on personal and tone was wrong.


I'm rooting for the Preds to right the ship.

I did. It was an agenda driven tirade that singled out one player, not even our worst player. Not only that, but one of their examples of how 'lazy' he is shows him covering one of the Phoenix players. He had his man. Wtf else do they want him to do? At least he's not throwing pucks in front of our goalie or closing his hand on the puck in the crease.

...and Rads is only leading our team in playoff points right now....Sheesh.

As soon as it was confirmed that Radulov was returing to the Preds, Jones' compatriot on the panel, J. Roenick also went on an anti-Radulov tirade because of the way he deserted the team. Reckon they were just waiting for the chance to pounce and pounce they did.

It does question their credibility, as we all know there were other Predators giving far less and making worse mistakes than Radulov.

I was hoping for the kind of push-back that the Blues gave last night, a hint that this series ain't over without a fight. How about a colossal hit by Captain Shea to get it rolling? Something, anything to show you give a damn.

Let's Go Predators!

thoughts on radulov and s.kotitstn being scratched tonight?

AK46 an Radulov out of Game 3 for a violation of team rules.

oh what the (frank) Russians?!?!?!

What the hell did they do? I'm all for team rules and all, but this buries their chances for game 3, and could make way for a sweep. I'm sure they can figure out some punishment in the offseason, but unless guys like Rinne, Suter, and Weber signed off on this, I can't see them being too impressed with it.

Rads and AK to miss Game 3?!!!?!!?!?

They banged the wrong broads last night apparently. Big loss for an important game 3. Jeesh.

I guess you can stop defending Radulov now.

I can't believe it is them and not Legwand... he was the worst of all! I think that is a big mistake by the coaching staff. So who steps in? Tootoo and?

I thought Klein was a big defensive liability the first two games for the Preds.
In game one Radulov was creating a ton of scoring chances for his linemates who couldn't capitalize on them. He was lazy in game 2 on his back checks, and Jonesy called him out on it, maybe too harshly?. He reminded me of Nick Zherdev's time with the Flyers last season.

No I won't stop defending his play on the ice because he missed a curfew.

They not being taken out for game reasons. They violated team rules.

Who has been 'defending' Radulov? He has been perfectly fine until now. If anyone was defending anything it was the Predators right to allow him to come back and play the rest of the season and playoffs. If he did something dumb and violated team rules then he reaps what he sows.

But I will never stop defending the Preds right to bring him back.

Can't believe that a team would go through with this at this time of year.

Isn't AK46 from Belarus

I guess you can stop defending Radulov now.
- Leafland

Yes, it would appear so.

Belarussian, it's right there in the name

Not sure what AK46 exactly did but what are you supposed to do with Radulov if he's not putting forth a strong effort in the playoffs? You replace him with someone who wants to be there, that's what. It's not the team, it's the player that I cant believe would play like this at this time of year.

I think he's referencing Jones' diatribe the other day, not bringing him back.

I don't blame Trotz or Poile. I blame the players for being selfish and irresponsible. Now everyone knows that the team comes first. Maybe someone should have explained that to Radulov and AK46 when they joined the team.
