Predators Suspend Two

>

While it’s open to obvious speculation and debate, I for one want to congratulate the Nashville Predators for doing right by their team. Nashville announced on Tuesday that Alexandre Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn, the teams top two scorers, would be suspended for Game 3 of their play-off series against the Phoenix Coyotes.

It’s easy to look at this as a punishment to the fans, removing the team’s best scoring threats for breaking team rules, but fans should be applauding the Predators. A team that has always thrived on system play has just sent a statement saying the system and the city of Nashville are more important than any individual players.

Now Nashville needs to go out and trump the Coyotes to really drive their point home.
