Confirmed Signing with Link: Anthony DeAngelo signs one-year deal with SKA (KHL)

[Fatass]

he considered all nato countries before russia. there were no comparable offers from them obviously, which is strange.

Is there a league in Europe that pays as much as the KHL?

 

[TGWL]

From top pair on a top team to out of the league in 2 years. Says it all about the greatness of Jaccob Slavin.

Panarin got him that fat contract in the first place.

No, Top salaries are around half a mill i think and quite rare anyway. KHL is not even a real business they are losing money like crazy

 

[KingJoffrey]

Retweeting a guy from a group called Attomwaffen is a pretty good indicator of how far off the deep end this guy is...but some people want to bend over backwards to give him the benefeit of the doubt and defend his "character".


Is following and retweeting a guy who is part of a neo nazi group called Attomwaffen, way out of context? Or is it ok because he deleted it when people started to take notice?

So guy likes a tweet and that makes him racist? You didn't even bother to tell what tweet he liked. And I haven't never heard of this callous nazi group which is your sole argument to call DeAngelo racist.

It's pretty thin to most of us. If we believe that you're telling the truth about that matter.

 

[Hennessy]

Well, this certainly makes me like him more.

Who the hell is going to Russia now

People who have no idea what's going on around them.

With whats going on in the world you would have to be beyond desperate to consider going to russia, poor guy

I know, right? There are a number of North American players who made very bad career and life decisions this past offseason.

 

[Mattilaus]

Idk who that is or what the tweet was but ya sounds like it could be taken way out of context. Lot of things these days gets taken way out of context. See it happen all the time - "oh look this guy follows that guy on twitter! He must be an X, Y, Z. Man what a horrible human being"

Right, everything is out of context. Follows neo-nazis on twitter, suspended in juniors TWICE for using slurs, multiple reports of him clashing with teammates at the NHL level, dad is a confirmed racist on video and says he raised Tony that way, can't find an NHL job despite apparently being really good. It's alllll just smoke though. The world is just conspiring to make him look as bad as possible to ruin his career for no reason.

Who the hell is going to Russia now

A guy who considers most media to be fake news and comes to a country where most media actually is propaganda that fits their world view might fit right in.

 

[CupofOil]

From top pair on a top team to out of the league in 2 years. Says it all about the greatness of Jaccob Slavin.

And/or how toxic DeAngelo must be.

 

[CanMerc]

Good riddance

 

[Nate070]

A lot of people actually...

Sure

 

[mattihp]

Sure

As much as I am opposed to what Russia does, there is a steady influx of North Americans, not only in sports but also in other fields of work.

Lol, this is one Hill not worth defending Bro, you will only look bad at the end

DeAngelo is a major POS
f*** him

Lmao yeah the US media is notorious for not being propagandized

It is a fact there are a lot less imports now than there was before.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Looking at their roster they sure like former Hurricanes

Kuznetsov, Tolchinsky, Nikishin, Zykov. Now DeAngelo

I bet he would agree to play for a league minimum in the NHL, which is what? 400k after taxes?

I am hoping to go to Russia this spring for a vacation. Parts are very beautiful. But then again I am not brainwashed by the media

There were teams full of imports back then though, like Jokerit, Slovan, Riga, Croatia and Czech teams. That's more than 100 players. And there are way more young Russian talents in the league nowadays.

 

[Jumptheshark]

A reddit user.

Canes room liked him and they did sign him twice. He was very well liked in the team.

I bet you don't even remember why you dislike the guy.

I do

Been to St. petersburg and Moscow. St. Pete is gorgeous, Moscow is a blast.
Both have somewhat sizable American expat communities.

I hate the sheeple who get their news from legacy media instead of @OwningTheLibs on Twitter (joined February 2022).

I am pretty sure there was a bigger flow before

Yeah, I heard Kursk region is very nice this time of the year

Oddly enough, the only time any of these guys played together in Carolina was DeAngelo and Kuznetsov very briefly this past April. Nikishin is a prospect who hasn’t come over to the NHL yet, and the other two made cameos years ago when the Canes were churning through players.

It's not ONLY that, that is simply ONE of the things that lead people to criticize him. lmao so because you haven't heard of it (no offense, it sounds like you haven't heard of a lot of things that exist in the world) it's not real, that is hilarious in how stupid it is. Just google it if you don't believe me, instead of looking like a tool and a fool defending this loser's honour like he's your dad. Real weird para social relationship you've developed with hockey players you've never met lmao.

Atomwaffen Division - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I'm sure though you probably see no evidence that they are racist either lmao. You will defend literally anything on here and I bet you couldn't even explain to yourself why you feel such an urge to do so.

Maybe you feel under fire when people levy these criticisms at him because you've been accused of being the same thing people are accusing him of being? It's the only thing that explains the vigor with which you wish to die on this hill.

Idk who that is or what the tweet was but ya sounds like it could be taken way out of context. Lot of things these days gets taken way out of context. See it happen all the time - "oh look this guy follows that guy on twitter! He must be an X, Y, Z. Man what a horrible human being"

I'm sure if he retweeted some commy terrorist group instead of a neo nazi one, your tone would be a bit different. Something to think about. You're blindly defending him more so than anyone is blindly attacking him.

His critics at least have something to go on, whereas you just see criticism and go "I must defend this sweet hockey boy at all cost!" lmao...or maybe you see yourself in the criticisms of him and get defensive.
