The Predators have certainly seen their share of controversy over the past few days, with forward Jordin Tootoo getting suspended and Dallas president Jim Lites firing a broadside of criticism at the organization.
That’s okay with Trotz, who figures a team has to have achieved a certain status if it’s begun to irritate opponents.
“When you’re not a threat to anybody, people let you be,’’ Trotz said. “Now when you’re a threat to people, that’s where you start getting the rivalries. It’s good to be hated. You’ve got to be doing something right.’’

Yes, Barry Trotz, it’s wonderful to have non-NHL players on the team running around doing nothing but trying to hurt people.
There is nothing wrong with fighting in the game. But there is plenty wrong with sending guys out knowning that they aren’t intending to play the puck.
