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

[tlk]

Maybe because if you didn't commit a crime that you were accused of (in this case a violent assault on a woman) perhaps you would be upset about it?

then you accept that the russian political trolls simply have to make baseless accusations to disable half of our squad.
nice.
believe what you want, I surely like to think otherwise. And knowing both Breads' character and that he was the target before and knows it well, I think *we* do have the grounds for it.
Unlike the "worried for his family" BS.

If you read the actual back and forth he is behaving exactly like a trollbot with all the subtlety of a drunk bull.

Why tf am I saying this to a guy with a few dozen posts and almost all of them are in a thread where he argues with people about Russian politics. Of course you'd support garl and his stupid post.

Why you heff to be mad? It's only a joke.
But it's nice to see that it's the same on both sides of the pond. In Russia people always passionately accuse each other of being either Putin's or Navalny's bots. It warms my heart.

the story has been pretty much dismissed at this point...KHL and NHL have looked into it...no witnesses..no victim coming forward...teammates in 2011 denying it happened...so the question becomes, why take a LOA ?
for what purpose ?
your not flying to russia for this, so why take a LOA
something very fishy about this whole thing.

Your baseless speculation and accusation that Panarin or the team is lying about him being nervous is just such horse shit. You need to really shut the f*** up about this since neither you nor any of us have any more insight as to why Panarin is allegedly nervous.

Your horseshit is better than mine.. blah blah blah yawn.

oooh, edgy

Never said I had)) Unlike some.

Look I never even wanted to get confrontational with anybody, just standing for some common sense) And get showers of boring repetitive manure in return))

My reasoning is largely the same, just the conclusion is different. Nothing fishy, it's all plain and simple - the org was playing it safe from the start, then when they realized it was all a horrendous load of bull from a lowlife scum on a payroll, they simply couldn't track back.
ofc there's always the poss of there being something else to it. But *that* we surely can't know.

I'm not the one actively speculating one way or another on Panarin's reason for an LOA and I've said multiple times that that remains the only unanswered question.

You can't even lie well.

If the story has been dismissed what is fishy?

 

[duhmetreE]

It goes to show you how polarizing politics have become and how it sways opinion.

If you dont agree with ADA politics... GUILTY!
If you dont agree with Panarin's politics... GUILTY!

Right?

If I had to deal with some goon/lackey looking to gain favor with a dictator known to poison people or spread disinformation, I'd probably take a few days off as well even if there was nothing going on.

the fishy part is .....why does panarin need a LOA if the story has been debunked

Saying it's "fishy" is f***ing stupid when none of us know the actual reason.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

My point is what could be fishy if he didn't punch a girl? Fishy means something bad happened, no?

 

[MetalJaws]

What is the earliest everyone believes Panarin can come back? If he's at his Connecticut home does that mean technically that is quarantine and he can take a test and hop back on the ice against Boston? I feel like for the optics of this thing it's much better to get it behind you asap. If everything said in this forum is true, then let's move on here and get him back. What's the hold up?

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

So did he go out for a pack of cigarettes or is he coming home?

f*** you George Washington.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Panarin is likely trying to figure out what to do about his family in Russia.

Generally means curious or mysterious. I think they mean it’s mysterious that he’s on LOA given that the story wasn’t solid to start and has fallen apart more since

travel between CT/NY/MA i think it fine. RI had a problem for a while but that may have been lifted. So long as he isn't traveling overseas i think he should be fine.

I always take it as a negative.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Also,I am also very surprised by amount of russians, myself included in this thread. I mean, Artemi Panarin is from Cameroon right? I would understand that there would be lots of cameroonian posters here, don't forget that Panarin is 2nd most popular hockey player from Cameroon after Alex Ovechkin. But russians? Why do they care?

This is a good point. Of course Russian fans are going to weigh in on a Russian player. The trolling comes in when Russians who have never discussed Ovi, or Kuznetzov's cocaine issue, or Bobrovski's Florida contract, come out of the woodwork to discuss only this situation.

Journalists of Sport-Express mentioned that he came back playing not fully recoverd from low body injury. Maybe, he has decided to use this situation for recovery.

All of these Russian posters dropping by and offering all these political takes and not one leaves behind a good Borscht recipe.

It's weird.
This was a nothing story in Russia before he took his leave of absence. His departure from the Rangers brought on the media circus. Media outlets in Russia didn't initially publish Nazarov's words because they were too dumb and unbelievable. The story eventually came out in a tabloid.
If he ignored the story I think nothing would have come of it.

He's been on the receiving end of criticism previous to this too. He's brushed it off and lives his life fine with the Rangers and at home in Russia.

His actions have been so counterproductive.

I will comment just on Russian hockey journalism. You know it, writing just for our NA friends. All leading Russian hockey journalists are young, around 30-40, many if not all are a product (ideological/POV) of liberal outlet sports.ru. Only Shevchenko is older, but he is dumb. These journalists have their idol in American/Canadian hockey writers, especially Bob McKenzie. It is nothing bad to have idols, but they share NA point of view on the hockey scene, so they dislike the KHL. In principle, their opinion is - what is coming from America is always important, so they are writing about the story because American journalists write about it as well, so we (Russians) need it too. Plus, some of them like to include the politics into their hockey articles, and if they are liberal, some of them Navalny supporters, then you can not be surprised by this Panarin story.
