Report: Ribeiro expects no retaliation after punching Shaw on the bench.

Mike Ribeiro thinks he's getting off scott-free. During the game 3 matchup between the Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks, Predators forward Mike Ribeiro was the victim of a hit from Jonathan Toews and was visibly frustrated. So frustrated he decided to take it out on Andrew Shaw’s face, as he sat on the bench. Ribeiro also doesn't expect the punch to be an issue during Tuesday's Game 4. "I think it’d be stupid of him to try to get it back," Ribeiro said. "You guys can keep talking about it and have fun with it." He added it was Shaw who initiated the exchange by grabbing him from the bench, saying "it can go both ways." Ribeiro's Predators will be attempting to even the series at two, meaning extracurriculars should be kept at a minimum on their end.
