That's why I said that he is a FANTASTIC hockey player earlier. I love him as a player, and I don't care about his political preference.

If players were held accountable for something that happen 10 years ago there would only be about 50% of the NFL players playing right now.
In addition, I've not held back any punches calling out management for their handling of several things lately.
I have no problem whatsoever with what they are doing here (from my limited view of things at least). Let Panarin gather his thoughts and focus on what is important. Gather more info on the situation. We have connections in Russia. There were plenty of players on that Riga team. This was surely something that was talked about "on the bus". Nic Tarnasky was on that team, he was two years in HFD. I am sure someone in the organization got his phone number. Call him up, lol Tanner Glass surely knows him, they were vet AHL teammates with similar backgrounds in HFD. What was the talk in the room about what happened? Kip Brennan, Jeremy Jablonski, Jon Mirasty, Mat Dalton are NA players on that team. Somebody will know somebody. Sergei Gonchar played on that team, would he stand up for Panarin?
If our org can just get a lay of the land and collected indications that it wasn't a big deal, I am sure they can put an end to this effectively and move on. That should stop the story, instead of having something brewing in the background.
If OTOH indications hypothetically would be that it was something really serious. Like if Panarin kicked the heck out of some poor girl, they can handle that too. Make sure it doesn't happen again. That he gets help. Etc.

Assuming this is a fabricated story, one positive outcome on the hockey side of things is this could possibly galvanize the locker room with everyone showing support for Panarin when he comes back and there's more of a "play for eachother" type of atmosphere in the locker room.
Well that is one option.
But I think you shy away from the really scary option that possibly is closer at hand, i.e. that @Edge is Putin. That could connect a lot of dots.

Nonsense. He's the only athlete in Russia who is publicly critical of Putin's regime and supports Navalny. That takes some balls and makes him a target.
Nazarov is Putin's sycophant and is always trashing USA and EU as evil enemies of great Putin and Russia. I don't know whether Panarin beat that girl or not but you need to be completely delusional to think that Nazarov's statements now have nothing to do with Panarin's political stance.

This happened with the last incident and we got one whole win out of it.
Have you ever seen Edge post while Panarin is out there on a shift? Me neither.

Yes, I am a hockey fan, and have been for a while. I will refrain from asking you the same question though. It would be rude on my part.
I agree that the Russians love big sports stars, but I disagree that Panarin is a very large and universally-known star there.
I personally don't think, Nazarov invented the story. The fact of matter, it's actually nothing by Russian standarts. I mean, I watched a video a couple months ago about a dude, who killed 3 girls in a car crash being drunk. They didn't even arrest him, because "he was injured and recovering from injures", and that dude lived at his home and went to night clubs every day. What a couple of punches are comparing to this?
This story targets Americans, because you know, how is it there nowadays...

Surprised how quickly the Rangers are refuting the allegations. By their own admission, they don't even know the source. It's one thing to put a player on leave while the team conducts its own internal investigation. But that's not what the Rangers are doing here.

Rebooting myself
Hopefully this wont go to far off side
But the fact this happened in Latvia and the players comments about politics in his native land--I smell something fishy
Latvia is now sole host for the world championships due to safety, security and corruption allegations in Belarus. Russia wanted the games moved to Russia and were not happy they were given to Lativa as sole hosts.
There is more going on then what we know about I think

ANY RUSSIAN OLYMPIC TEAM HOPEFULL WHO COMES OUT IN SUPPORT OF ARTEMI IS OFF THE OLYMPIC TEAM.
*crickets*.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
Jokes aside, many former teamates/players might support Artemi but only 'off the record', which should be fine for the Rangers PR team.

I'd like to think that was kinda different though, since it involved two of their own teammates so there couldn't have been a sense of "dont mess with my teammate, we got your back dont worry", as it would look like they were choosing sides had they decided to get involved.
If there were a police report from 2011 in Latvia, we would have heard about it a long time ago. Latvia at that time was already pretty much a part of western civilization, same as it is today.
It's is plausible though, that the victim and potential witnesses could be paid off, before the police got involved. That is the part of the story that has me a bit worried, because that is exactly what probably would have happened, if the story is true.
