Radulov to NHL: Stop robbing us
Alexander Radulov certainly sounds as if he has no regrets about bolting the Nashville Predators and creating an international incident by signing with Salvat Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League despite having a valid NHL contract. Insisting he's broken no rules, Radulov has already played three exhibition games with his new club. The rising star painted himself as a patriot returning home, signalling a return to prominence for Russian hockey in a question-and-answer session this week with Russian reporters. "The NHL for 15 years has brought young players from Europe, first and foremost from Russia," according to a translation in Russianprospects.com. "I think that it is time to end this. Simply put: (It's) time to stop robbing us."

Obviously, he is not a fan of country music.
BTW...Radulov, we have also robbed your county of its hottest strippers. Just so you know.

Fear makes people do some funny things. The fact is Russia was the world's dominant hockey power for a long time. It's really only a matter of time until they're back on top of hockey world again.

He is right in every way. Malkin anyone and the KHL is not going to go broke. They have more money than the NHL.

The Preds should get a compensation for wasting their draft pick on this little idiot. I hope someone will truly rob him soon.

I didn't know if a player willing goes from Russia to the NHL to play that's the league "robbing" a country of talent. Sorta like how the Penguins "robbed" the Russians of Malkin. Wait, you mean he escaped the country in the middle of the night and didn't want to be there anymore?

Being a Blackhawk fan and having endured the Mike Smith years I got to experience a fair few Russian players during that time - and considering the effort put in ( akin to punching a time clock)- I think it is debatable as to who was robbing whom.
Enjoy the toilet paper line Radulov ...

If I see another Russky player drafted by an NHL club in my lifetime, it will be too soon! With a few exceptions, like Ovechkin and Datsiuk (a good Ukrainian boy unfortunately born in Moscow) I am sick of those sneaky, conniving, self absorbed, whining Russians!
I was going to say: the Russians can go to h*e*l*l but that would be redundant since they are living there already! A frozen h*e*l*l to be sure with that weasel Putin playing the role of Lucifer but, it is h*e*l*l nevertheless!

Radulov is a ****! You want to play in the best league in the world? Go to the NHL. Why do you think so many Japanese and Latin American players go to MLB. Money number 1 and playing the best of the best number 2. Same with the NBA. Radulov should ****!

Get bent, Alex! Stay in Russia, we don't want you in the US. Last time I checked, making 3 or 4 mil a year doesn't constitute a "robbing". "Robbing" is what you are doing to the fans who are paying your salary by bailing on them.
