OK, gotta speak up for the Preds here.
Harts was mugged by 2 Sharks and had to defend himself. So that pretty much negates the GM from that b\c it was just a strict following of the rule book. The 2nd was for not having his jersey tied down. Against the rules yes, but classless and cheap no. As for the hit on Cheechoo, I'm notopening that debate again, but it was probably warranted.
As for Rads' hit, it was not an especiallly cheap shot IMHO. Yes he hit him from behind, but it wasn't with intent to injure. He just hit him weird and essentially gave Bernier whiplash.
Nashville is just playing physical. They know they have to since they got put out by SJ last year by not playing big.
