If the coach allowed those two clowns to play game 4, it might have affected team morale in the locker room.
Radulov is one of the laziest forwards that I've ever seen in terms of back checking. He won't play the 2 way game.
Radulov, Kostitsyn out for Preds in Game 4 - sportsnet.ca
Here's a video showing Radulov taking a long skate just before the Phoenix scores a goal. No hustle at all. Where is the backcheck from no. 47?
Lazy. NBC analyst Keith Jones rips the Russian up.

yep, kovalchuk imo is also notorious for being lazy on the back check / defensive play
