Predators suspend Radulov and A.Tits

[rares]

Bruce Garrioch ‏ @SunGarrioch
Nashville coach Barry Trotz tells @Team1200Ottawa he was able to check front desk to see what time keys were used in Phoenix. Wow.

That's gotta be BS because I'm pretty sure it'd be illegal for a hotel front desk to share that information with a 3rd party, even if it's the team's coach.

EDIT: I guess the rooms could technically be booked under the team's name or some team official person and they could have had that checked but still kind of fishy...

Nothing fishy about that. If the team is the one throwing up the cash for the rooms, the team is entitled to any and all information pertaining to those rooms.

I'm shocked Trotz is sitting them for two games. But I like the way he coaches. With an iron fist.

i'm not. the team played its best game of the series. why change anything up?

same Im glad they are sitting them again. if they win this game sit them one more. then then they learn. and the team respects it and they know that to get them back to the game they have to re earn their trust.

 

[puckhead]

so... NOW they will get back in the line-up, and have a chance to be heroes.
or if they lose anyways, sitting out the leading goalscorer and leading pointgetter for an extra game will be a pretty fierce topic of discussion.

meh. doesn't matter... it will be a footnote when the Suter / Weber speculation begins in earnest

 

[mattola]

still was the right thing to do. these guys were brought in around the deadline and have not been a part of this team for but a short time. you can't allow that to go no matter what. you would risk losing the whole team long term.

Scotty Bowman once paid a kid to stand in the hotel lobby after curfew and ask for players to autograph his hockey stick. Any player who came in after curfew ended up signing his own confession. You may be sneaky Trotz, but the master did it without technology!

S. Tits gets into the mix. Looking for a KHL deal as well?

#Preds Sergei Kostitsyn to Pressball: “I think the management was too tough on Alexander [Radulov] and Andrei [Kostitsyn]. The punishment for the incident could have been a monetary fine, [they] went too far with the disqualification in the midst of an important stage of the playoffs. We missed the guys in games three and four of the series.” Sports.ru


A Tits = UFA
S Tits = RFA, fwiw

They're both boobs (and Rentalov is a dick)

So... three job openings in Nashville this summer? They went too far in the midst of an important stage of the playoffs... shit, tell that to linemates Popov and Smirnov.

Shea was on with 'The Moj' last night on Team 1040 jstew and they talked about Rentalov, he didn't use the word betrayed, but it was clear he wasn't pleased at all with how things went down.

he used it ... audio clip is in the link

anyways ... i heard Marty Erat stopped Sergei from leaving the hotel room otherwise he would have gone out that night with Radulov and his brother

anone got a link to that supposed story? did Erat stand in the doorway and block him ? did Erat headshot him and knock him out momentarily so he couldnt get down the stairs?

Ah yes, I stand corrected...

If that's true, I just gained a TON of respect for Marty Erat. Good for him, that takes balls.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Maybe Erat bribed him with a bottle of Stoli. You know, Weber, if you don't like stuff like that happening you could always sign in Detroit... very professional atmosphere...

Erat on Radulov today

Interesting Erat interview to sports.ru. He compared Radulov to a "ticking bomb...You can never guess if Rads slept well last night or not."

 

[UTVolCountry]

Bahaha, he's probably right... I like Erat.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Bahaha, he's probably right... I like Erat.

this is interesting

a sign of Barry Trotz fatigue amongst the Preds team?

Erat: "Our team meetings are long. Very, very long. Lots of video etc. Sometimes it's good, but sometimes it's too much."
