if kostitsyn and radulov were out partying until 4 am on saturday night, then why weren't they benched for game 2 on sunday

I'd guess it was more that they played with little effort in game 2 than anything else, and the fact that Nashville is down 2-0 the team doesn't have much to lose. Pretty good move by Trotz to galvanize the team and set an example for the younger players on Nashville.

2 Russians got drunk? No way!!
Seriously though, shouldn't do that before a game, let alone a playoff game... definitely shows a total lack of commitment.

Wow. Good on ya, Poile. Radulov is a selfish bastard (as I've said before, he's already said he's back to Russia after this postseason) and Kostitsyn is apparently a locker room cancer according to the Habs fans.
I guess backchecking is a team rule? God knows Radulov's violated that rule hundreds of times. His utter disinterest in working hard to help his team is pathetic. He's the king of floaters.

Wysh's take.

I'd read that but Greg Wyshynski is the most unprofessional blogger I've ever come across. I used to check his blog out before I followed him on twitter. After reading his childish arguments and moronic tweets I just can't stand him.

Thanks TeeMan!

Is this really worth a suspension? It sounds so high school.
I understand that they are in the playoffs, but you'd think that the players would realize the need to be at the top of their game.
Maybe I'm reading too much of my own life into this, but it seems like they'd know by this point in their lives how much they can and can't drink and how late they can stay up and still get enough sleep.

My money on the board pledge:
$1 for each goal scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.
An additional $5 for each hat trick scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.
An additional $10 if any of the above goals is the GWG goal that gives us the series win.
An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup.
$5 for a SO by Jimmy.
Hamsters' names (current players in RED): Henrik Pavel Tomas Nicklas Dominik
Niklas Matthieu Daniel Robert
Johan Andreas Valtteri Jonathan
Andrew Patrick Ian Todd
And introducing: Jordin Damien Gustav James
TOTAL SO FAR: $27

For some reason, when I hear about curfews and the like, it amazes me that grown men have or need bedtimes.

when a nhl team is on a road trip,there needs to be some kind of curfew for the players,you don't want your players out partying until the wee hours of the morning,if a player{s) break team rules or miss a curfew then they need to be disciplined for their mistake

If the preds win the series, they'll look like geniuses as the media will praise them for galvanizing the team by making such a bold move.
if the preds lose the series, they've already found a couple of euros with little ties to the team to blame.

Weber would stomp his f***in ass if he did some of that KHL s***. And I'd love to see it.Trotz better wear a helmet on the bench for the next game Radulov plays.

shea weber might wanna be careful when it comes alex radulov,he can give the captain of his team a concussion(2008 playoffs against the wings,game 3 the preds scored 2 goals in seconds and jason arnott score the GWG,Radulov skated over and jumped on him, just as Arnott was turned around to face the bench, accidentally slamming his head straight into the boards.Jason Arnott got a concussion from that incedent.)

Hey, I remember how Scotty used to give a doorman or someone a hockey stick in the hotel lobby and that person would ask a player to sign the stick and that's how Scotty found out who violated the curfew.
I love Scotty B. Miss him, too. He was one of a kind.
