I received a scoop yesterday from a source inside the Predators organization that Alex Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn had spent the evening prior to Game 2 in a hotel bar where the TSN television crew that was working Game’s 1 & 2 was also staying.
From what I heard, Poile was contacted directly from a member of the TSN television crew about Radulov/Kostitsyn which is how the team found out about it in the first place.
I contacted the Predators and I was told that they “do not intend to comment further on any aspects of the situation, including on rumors and reports”. So, that’s about all I know for right now.
While the Predators won’t confirm or comment on the story further, what I heard was from a credible source. Take that as you will. We’ll be following up on this report if we hear anything further, which I doubt we will.
As much as I enjoy Radulov getting suspended, TSN should suspend those guys for being friggin snitches.
SNITCHES GET STITCHES!
Darren Pang saw them too. He was talking about it on the radio the next day. He said he saw absolutely no alcohol, but he did see them.
