Friday is far ass though. We have several games left before Friday.

Several = 2?

The positive to take from this is they clearly don't believe his conditioning will be an issue holding him back.

If his impact is anything like Lehhkys, Friday will be a fun night.

So do we delete our posts from the offseason or just move forward in unison and pretend like it never happened?

This is the way

I wonder what was his locker room speech to explain what happened and why it's not going to happen again.

"Sorry guys, I like score goal and snort coke same night".

Nuke is all about showing by example. Those Russians like Nuke are not showing much emotion or chit chatting but they will help us win games is all that matters. Mack will welcome Nukie back with open arms and give him a hug. He will then whisper in Nukie's ear "You don't need to say anything if you don't want to".

If Nuke shows us that he is a changed man that has quit his bad habits including "sniffing rails" or "skiing" or whatever you guys call him on this board. I would not be surprised if he gets to wear an A on his crest at some point of his career just because of his work ethic.

In classic Avs fashion, this likely never happened. Everything gets ignored and swept under the rug.

"Hi guys"

 

[Murzu]

F*** Nichushkin

 

[AvsMakar08]

F*** Nichushkin

Murzie soon we will find out the truth behind this Nuke story. I have this feeling that some bloke like Deboer snitched on Nichushkin because he was too good.

 

[missionAvs]

F*** Nichushkin

but please come back... please...

 

[CobraAcesS]

"Hi guys"

Yep, his play will speak for him.

 

[dahrougem2]

"Sorry guys, I like score goal and snort coke same night".

This made me laugh way too hard because I swear it's probably something he would say

 

[tshack]

"Sorry guys, I like score goal and snort coke same night".

Next time, only one.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Hope he crushes it... and gets traded for something good later (please)

You know damn well he did

 

[Foppberg]

Hope he comes back and kills it, what's done is done. Time to move on

If he wasn't snorting coke like he was a Hoover vacuum, he wouldn't have gotten caught. Nobody to blame but Nuke

 

[JWK]

He'll never get traded because his play on that low of a cap hit is a bargain.

Obviously why Avs are giving him a 3rd chance

Some people don’t recognize the true deep down culture of the league. A lot more of this goes on than meets the eye nuke just got caught in a shituation that got compiled on top of. I forgive him in a second and tell him do keep doin him just don’t f***ing get caught. This guy is a 10 Mil player when he’s in the lineup. Absolute unicorn. 3rd most important player on the roster.

@Pierce Hawthorne So about that bet

GDT: - NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

If it was a 1 or 2 year term, there'd probably be some interested teams. The truth is nobody wants to commit themselves into $12,500,000 and half a decade of term for a potentially 4th line player. Potentially?

Sure plenty of guys a doing blow during the season. Very few have a problem so bad they can’t pass 2 drug tests a season and continually f*** their team over. If you wanna party a little and unwind, cool I’m all for it. But don’t f*** over your teammates year after year. I hope for his own sake he has his shit sorted out, but I have no belief Nuke will help this team when it matters until I see it with my own two eyes.
