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

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

I do not want Panarin to be guilty. I hope he is innocent. I do not understand why no one of 30+ adult guys speak publicly to protect an innocent man? Why people are mad at this question?

Because they like tea that isn't poisoned.

 

[tlk]

Exactly this. His family could be fearing for their lives right now.

Oh please, cut at least *this* bull. I'm Russian and I know what I'm talking about.
It's not (nearly) at this stage right now. Or at least nothing to indicate this.

PS you people know who these gentlemen are?

Seriously, who's running things for the Rangers right now? First they exile DeAngelo because he sent a certain "tweet" supporting a certain well known "person" and now Panarin is sitting because.....ah......why is he sitting again? A blatantly baseless accusation?

The way they've handled team personnel matters this year has been nothing short of a joke. We don't need other teams to "beat" us at this point, because we're doing a great job of beating ourselves. The other NHL teams thank us for saving them some work. The organization is quickly becoming the laughingstock of the entire league. It's embarrassing being a fan of this team right now. We're becoming the Knicks with skates.

Starting to wonder too if Davidson is in over his head. Not impressed thus far at all with the way he's handled things.

That's some serious hyperbole there. The organization knows we are not winning anything this year and is taking a conservative approach to all potential scandals. We are not, and never will be, a laughing stock. Also, as far as we know, Panarin wanted this time off to sort things out because this affects more than just him. Get a grip.

That's where my doubt is. I'm not so sure it's Bread's idea to "take some time off". He already referred in at least one of hist insta (or some other soc media) videos to some "bastards" back home which are slandering him. Pretty sure it was either Larin or some of his "pool".

So why Bread would be so "shaken" by this to request a LOA I've no idea. Unless it's not *his* request.

If this was the Ranger's decision they 'effed up royally because Panarin's leave of absence has propagated the media circus.

This initially wasn't a big story in Russia. It wasn’t until Panarin left the Rangers followed by the NY media blowing up the story with sensationalism (OMG Putin is gonna kill all the Panarins!!!) did it take off - then it circled back to Russia tenfold, and here we all are.

Again, you're absolutely spot on.

А, я заметил "откуда")) Очевидно это и было целью. Они её добились.

This is what I was trying to say. The Rangers and Artemi have invited additional scrutiny on this story with their reaction. All evidence presented so far indicates that this is a non issue. The response is making it seem like it’s a big issue. That’s the disconnect.

My buddy was once accused of calling a female sales lady the bword. It was totally made up but he got really upset. I was there so I knew it was a lie but her coworker came out and made a scene. Turned out the lady just wanted to go home early. A week later she admitted it and apologized in her bosses office.
Sadly sometimes people do make false allegations. I still dont know what is gained by sitting out if 100% innocent.

If you can't see the difference between calling someone a word and laying your hands on someone I can't help you.

One of them may end up costing you your job (if that), the other one usually lands you in jail.

Let's assume that the reports are correct and Panarin requested a LOA. What if the team denied his request? What kind of speculation would that have led to? What would the blowback have been on that? It would be a bad look for the team, for sure.

The Rangers immediately issued a statement that said the allegations are BS and they support Panarin. Good on them for doing that. They did what they could. There was nothing else they could do, if Panarin in fact requested a LOA.

Did Panarin err in requesting time off? None of us can honestly answer that because we don't know everything he's dealing with.

ugh wut?

meanwhile some of the participants mentioned in the accusation are starting to give interviews. so far all of them denying the story.

I mean, it is clear that the story is bullshit.

However, you certainly do not know why Panarin requested a LOA. So, you need to stop speculating.

No one here gives a flying f*** about the Russian media and tabloids and that the LOA increased exposure on the story. That's all meaningless, frankly.

Agreed. Some of the the takes in this thread are laughable.

 

[Rangers in 7]

why is anyone blaming the rangers? panarin asked for the time away, are the rangers supposed to tell him no?

btw if the rangers hadnt investigated and it turned out to be true they would be killed by the media and fans alike for not taking it seriously

everyone back away from the ledge

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

So Nazarov = Q?

 

[tlk]

However, you certainly do not know why Panarin requested a LOA.

Did he now

So, you need to stop speculating.

Thanks but I'll do what I deem right to (subject to terms and conditions lol).

Tut tut. Behave.

 

[nyr2k2]

Agreed. Some of the the takes in this thread are laughable.

I get that we have a certain segment of our fan base (like every team's fan base) that thinks the team is always without fault, wins every trade, can do no wrong, whatever. By the same token, we seem to have some folks who thing everything we do is shit, that we're always to blame, always doing the wrong thing, etc. I understand the passion behind both, but both are kind of silly.

 

[bigdog16]

ugh wut?

Thats me making fun of you. Acting like you know more than everyone else because you are Russian. The same way some people come to these boards and act like they know more than everyone because they played hockey until they were 14 years old

 

[tlk]

panarin asked for the time away

very doubtful.

 

[nyr2k2]

Did he now

I'm just curious--other than your own speculation, do you have anything to support the idea that the LOA was not requested by Panarin? As I mentioned in earlier posts, I grant there's a possibility it wasn't his idea, but I have not seen any actual evidence supporting this.

 

[tlk]

Thats me making fun of you.

Thanks Cap. I may be Russian but I'm not dumb.
And yeah I have a bit more of common sense to judge on the situ. And I tell you plain and simple you playing cloak and dagger is dumb AF. At least as of now.

BTW that's Bread's in law pictured with Vlad.

obviously, I won't have any inside info.
all that I'm asking - is why would he (on his own accord)?

 

[Kshahdoo]

So as I said, there was, probably, something behind the story. According to Anisin "there was a company there, and either we tried to invite them to dance or they told us something rude... girls were stoned, and Artemi could push one of them, but I don't remember, he punched anybody". He denied, it was anything very serious, but in such a way, it becomes obvious, there was something.

Sure. Agreed. But the bottom line is that Artemi requesting an LOA in response to this makes it seem like there’s something else going on here.

I don’t begrudge the dude for it. He needs to take care of himself. But right now what we see at our level is a very important player leaving his team because some rando baselessly mean tweeted him. The response doesn’t currently track to the stimulus.
