10:56 AM ET 05.19 | Gabriel Bourque does not agree with Sergei Kostitsyn. Neither, it seems, does Shea Weber. Bourque, in a telephone interview with TVA Sports, said the suspensions were justified to Nashville Predators forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for breaking curfew during the playoffs. Weber, speaking on Vancouver's 1040 radio, said he felt "a little bit betrayed" by his two curfew-breaking teammates, who were suspended by the Preds for Game 3 against the Phoenix Coyotes and then benched for Game 4. Sergei Kostitsyn, Andrei's brother, told a Belarus news outlet this week that Nashville management was too tough on the duo. Bourque felt otherwise.

I'm guessing Radulov and Kostitsyn are betting on "I'll Have Another" in the Preakness.

Whew!! They almost didn't make over there with Malkin.

If they're not going to take the playoffs seriously enough to get to bed on time then you're better off without them.

Its a shame the coach was forced to put em back in the line up

Woah, the K sisters defending one another in their musguided stupidity...never saw that one coming. And to top it off, whiny russians bitchin to their local media about how hard life is in America...never woulda guessed that either. I guess that after all the years living here the guys still dont understand that NOtHING is handed to you on a silver platter. Unlike for the K sisters that grew up as the gifted sons of the head of hockey Belarus.

Othello? Your take?

Well you won't have to worry about AK-46 or AR when you line up for the Canucks this fall

The one game suspension was appropriate...the benching was nothing more than an authoritarian message to show who was in control.

And a close race it was indeed.

Weber felt betrayed...sheesh.
Coulda been you, dude. After all, you got away with slamming Z's head into the boards with no suspension.

my take is to "Take both out behind the woodshed and return with neither one"...Preds need to move on and field a team that can be competive without controversy....you can't correct stupidity.....Preds physical style of hockey has to have everyone on board...right now, trust in those two sounds pretty shallow............

Honestly, I suppose I don't really care about horse racing.

But I always watch the bigs.

And this was big.

I hope it wins the Belmont so it can make Larry "Benedict Arnold" Walker (Canuckistanian baseball player from Maple Ridge - home of Cam Neely) get all peed off cause now not only has a car racer beaten him (Jacques Villeneuve), a horse has won it too....

agree...other than the triple crwon races, this sport takes back seat to all other sports..all races are usually on Sat and college football owns that starting in Sept.... always enjoy underdog winning......would love to see him take the Triple Crown........
