Confirmed with Link: Panarin taking leave of absence from NYR (Warning in First Post)

[Ruggs225]

if this LOA is being set up by the team, it’s a massively huge misstep. this shouldn’t be given the light of day.

you cant take a chance in this day of age. Even if there is 1% it being true, the team would take a massive PR hit during the investigations. The accusations are alot worse than sending a pic of your dong and the mets took flack for that hire.

I fully believe that he will be exonerated but u have to play it safe. Especially since we aint doing shit this year anyway. So sit back and enjoy Beniers!
Maybe we go full sell mode and get a haul for Zibby! Haha

 

[Hunter Gathers]

This is all very clearly complete and total bullshit.

 

[mas0764]

Sounds like complete bullshit given the circumstances. f*** Russia.

There is literally zero about this "story," that would make me take a second look at it until there is way more evidence. Oh, Panarin makes anti-Putin remarks yesterday and then one of his KHL cronies comes out the next day accusing him of assault 12 years ago?

Yeah right. Letting this become a story is actually letting them win.

 

[Sayba]

We should all be thankful for the freedom we have in this country and not take it for granted. I was concerned about something like this with Panarin, this season is a disaster.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

They have to, or else they'd be labeled as not taking it seriously. Although, I would rather them they do an investigation and stay within the confines of 'innocent until proven guilty' but this just seems like a short term thing for them to investigate.

The NYR statement coming shortly will shed more light I am sure.

I mean I wouldn’t take it seriously. all they have to do is say this was cooked up by the russian media in response to panarin’s political comments. the girl herself didn’t say anything, it was brought up by a mentally unstable hockey man and is pure hearsay. move on.

all this does is encourage putin or whoever to pull these stunts in the future. all it does is reinforce how awful this culture is.
this is of course assuming it’s fake. if it’s real, that’s obviously different.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What alternative universe am I living in that the Knicks are well-run and smooth and the Rangers are underperforming and have all these insane, abnormal distractions?

 

[SRHRangers]

I'm not jumping to conclusions.

The LOA could be anything.

Knowing how Putin is, Bread may be at the Justice Department asking for political asylum like Enes Kanter did.

Agreed. The team is doing this correctly. It's obviously complete bullshit and Putin must be laughing about upending the season of a premier NHL team, though.

 

[DialUp]

Yeah, he should probably NOT go to Russia. My initial reaction remains though, until someone says it's not true..

 

[Trxjw]

I see that twitter people are immediately jumping to wild speculation as we can always count on them to do.

Garbage bin of the internet. Let the journalists (The good ones) do their damn job.

I mean there's people in this thread who are saying "Makes me think it's true if he didn't just denounce it!" So this place isn't much better.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Also him taking a leave of absence doesn’t mean it’s likely to be true

The team and him probably agreed to take some time away to get it straightened out. You can say “well just ignore it” but that wouldn’t fly here

 

[Captain Monglobster]

This is such a farce. Artemi is paying the price for his political views. Hes been rich and famous for years, why wait 10 years to go after him. f***ing complete bullshit.

 

[Bob Richards]

lmfao what the actual f***

 

[goal1228]

The Islanders dodged a bullet.
What do you guys want for DeAngelo,?

[Kords]

The NYR statement coming shortly will shed more light I am sure.

Unfortunately, I doubt this very much.

 

[nevesis]

Your brain isn't fully developed at 18, there's definitely a difference. There are studies that your brain isn't fully developed till I believe 25. Maybe legally there's no difference but in reality there is. Keep the condescending comments to yourself.

The teenage brain: Why some years are (a lot) crazier than others

So f*** off.

In the eyes of the law you are wrong, as per usual with most things you spew on here.

 

[mas0764]

Since when is there a statute of limitations on assaulting a woman, let alone anyone?

There is in fact a statute of limitations on assault and battery in like, every state.

I disagree. all this does is say that you can lie about someone and ruin a person’s career. this is so blatantly obviously political. even the most radical feminist can see that when looking at the context.

 

[mas0764]

It's hard to believe this has been hidden for 10 years. Probably just Putin stirring shit up scaring his family.

If it is real though, our rebuild is back.

Probably?

Like, without any real question.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

He's probably taking the LOA to go back to Russia and get his family in order if this is indeed a hit piece.

That's risky as f***, I highly doubt he's going back to Russia. He might risk being detained or worse.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Since when is there a statute of limitations on assaulting a woman, let alone anyone?

Let's take this with a grain of salt right now given the circumstances with Putin and the whole Navalney support

Um, this doesn't apply because this wasn't done in the US, but legally there definitely is a statute of limitations on assault, at least in some states.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

There is literally zero about this "story," that would make me take a second look at it until there is way more evidence. Oh, Panarin makes anti-Putin remarks yesterday and then one of his KHL cronies comes out the next day accusing him of assault 12 years ago?

Yeah right. Letting this become a story is actually letting them win.

yup. all this does is tell putin or anyone that you can lie about someone and mess with a person’s career. this isn’t even a serious allegation. this is someone else claiming something happened a decade ago to someone else. like come on.

 

[Fitzy]

Um, this doesn't apply because this wasn't done in the US, but legally there definitely is a statute of limitations on assault, at least in some states.

Can we table this discussion until (Hopefully never) we find that there's any credibility to it at all?

This season is just unreal.
