”Playoff hockey Jaelen Strong Jersey ,” the Predators defenseman said a day after clocking Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon in the side of the head with his right glove. Once
untangled, both were sent to the penalty box for holding during Colorado’s 5-3
win Monday.”Do it again next game,” Subban said .This series definitely took a step toward the chippy side as the top-seeded Predators lead 2-1 heading into Game 4 in Denver on Wednesday.”We’re just getting to know each other, right?” Colorado defenseman Nikita Zadorov said. ”It’s the playoffs. It’s always like that. It’s fun. They’re an
experienced team that went to the final last season, and they know what to do to
draw penalties. Sometimes after the whistle.”On a play in the second period Monday, Mackinnon was skating along the boards when Subban poked at the puck with his stick in his left hand and then delivered
a blow with his right. Subban tossed MacKinnon to the ice as teammates rushed
in. Subban was booed by the raucous crowd the rest of the night.”I just try to play hard,” Subban said. ”I don’t really hear it anymore. It’s happened so much over my career. Just try to go out there and do my job, be an
impactful player when I’m on the ice.”Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog understands the heightened emotions this time of year. Even more so since the Avalanche haven’t been in postseason
position since 2014.”There’s a lot on the line Levine Toilolo Jersey ,” Landeskog said. ”If you’re not emotionally involved, it would be weird. You leave everything on the ice. That’s what we
did. I’m sure they feel the same way on the other side.”Subban relishes the physical nature of a series – and perhaps getting under the skin of an opposing forward or two.”It’s easy to get into it when you know you’re going to hit somebody, when you know you have to finish all your checks,” Subban said. ”Next game should be
another physical one.”So far, Colorado has scored the game’s first goal in each contest. What’s more, the Avs hold a 5-0 advantage in first-period scoring during the
series.That’s partly why Nashville went through a frenzied practice Tuesday, complete with some light checking.”Today, there was a message behind it and some passion in our practice O. J. Simpson Jersey ,” defenseman Ryan Ellis said. ”It was great to see. Not only competing but making plays. We need that to translate into the
game.”Goaltender Pekka Rinne was sharp as well, turning back just about everything thrown at him during practice. That hasn’t been the case in a series where he’s
given up 10 scores and has a 4.17 goals-against average. Rinne was taken out
Monday with Colorado leading 4-0 after MacKinnon’s second goal of the game at
4:25 of the second period.”For sure, yesterday was a disappointing night for all of us,” Rinne said. ”We need to bounce back.”Nashville coach Peter Laviolette isn’t that concerned with the psyche of his elite goaltender – or that of his team, which advanced to the Stanley Cup Final
a season ago before losing to Pittsburgh.”If we could’ve played at noon, they’d all want to play right away,” Laviolette said. ”That’s the nature of competitive people.”And that’s why Landeskog thinks the Avalanche will see a revamped Rinne on Wednesday.”He’s a real good goaltender and made it tough on us all series long really,” Landeskog said. ”I’m sure he’s going to want to come back and have a good
game.”NOTES: Colorado D Samuel Girard practiced Tuesday while wearing a non-contact jersey. He’s day-to-day Dan Hampton Jersey , coach Jared Bednar said.—More NHL hockey: It’s possibly true that, as Bills running back LeSean McCoy contends, he has had no direct involvement with girlfriend Delicia Cordon for months. That may
not be enough to keep him out of trouble for the graphic injuries Cordon
recently sustained.Via Mike Rodak of ESPN.com, Cordon’s lawyers say that she was the victim of the invasion of a home owned by McCoy in Georgia, and that the thief stole
jewelry from Cordon.“The assailant demanded specific items of jewelry that had been previously gifted to Ms. Cordon by Mr. McCoy, which Mr. McCoy had requested back on many
occasions,” the statement from the attorney explains. “In fact, after Ms. Cordon
refused to return her jewelry gifts to Mr. McCoy Josh Bellamy Jersey , he would often suggest to Ms. Cordon that she could be robbed because the jewelry was expensive.”Although the statement apparently doesn’t come out and say it, the implication is inescapable: The lawyer believes McCoy orchestrated the invasion
of his home and the ensuing robbery of and attack on Cordon.If that’s true, McCoy likely has played his last down of NFL football. Marvin Bagley III Jersey
