-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 A pair of former NHLers factored in the story: Remember Alexander Radulov? He’s the former Nashville Predators forward who, along with Andrei Kostitsyn, made headlines in all the wrong ways after being busted staying out late partying while the Preds faced (and lost to) the Coyotes in the 2012 playoffs. While he went back to Russia after that downer of an ending to his NHL season, he’s got something else to be bummed out about. Radulov was stripped of his captaincy of CSKA Moscow in the KHL. As R-Sport reports (via Dmitry Chesnokov), it was GM and former Red Wings star Sergei Fedorov who made the call. “The last captain had problems with discipline,” said Fedorov, who did not mention Radulov by name. “Will it hurt the previous captain? He shouldn’t and cannot be hurt.” Taking his spot as captain is former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Alexei Morozov. Seeing that Radulov hasn’t really curtailed his fiery ways and ability to play nice with his teammates should help Predators fans feel even better that the team parted ways with him. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/26/former-predator-radulov-stripped-of-captaincy-in-khl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wasn't he the guy who was chasing down and beating on his wife at and after a restaurant meeting? So much skill, so little work ethic or caring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikal Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Good call. Radulov comess across as a self righteous prick and is anything. But captain material. Just because he can score doesn't make him a good leader. He has a horrible work ethic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Doctor Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wow, strong words from Fedorov. Anyways, Radulov has made his money and does not care. Never liked his attitude. Furthermore its just another reason to not draft Russians. Nine times out of ten, it does not work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keslerific Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 He should come back to the NHL with the Canucks for league minimum so Torts can use him to block shots Imagine what Torts would do if Radulov hit him lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Why do these guys act like such prima donnas? Maybe they are so patronized growing up they never emotionally grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Rake Fighter Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What are you talking about? Fedorov was one of the greatest offensive players of the 90s and also won a Selke trophy. Oh yeah, he also holds the NHL record for most points in what is arguably the hardest period to score, overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
