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

[Captain Monglobster]

I punched a girl in my class when 27 years ago, when I was 7 should I get fired from my job?

Put on your gulag shoes.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Im not disagreeing, and i think it is bs.

i also think that theNYR management knows this season is a washout so do the “right” thing cause it wont matter anyway for the standings.

sort of like a college team that broke rules and says they will sit out a year of NcAa tourney when they suck so they dont get harsher penalties

panarin is key to helping the team develop. he’s the team’s offense. having kakko and laf on his line is helping them both. being able to practice and communicate with the best offensive player on the team helps everyone. if he’s gone for the rest if the season, it’s more than the team’s record that’s being hurt. panarin is the glue for the entire offense.

 

[Fitzy]

Jesus this is getting thread nuke-worthy already.

Let the damn info come in.

Rangers havent even made a statement

 

[SnowblindNYR]

If you guys want to know about Russia and Putin read Red Notice. I don't trust anything coming from that country. I don't think it's coincidence that it happened to him after criticizing Putin.

 

[Calad]

So, the allegation is pure hearsay from this rando Putin flack, and not an accusation from the woman herself?

Hearsay is if someone says "this person told me this happened". I presume he's claiming to have witnessed it

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I am the biggest critic of this franchise, but we should avoid placing blame on them for this. We also shouldn’t assume they know much more about this situation/how to handle it than we do.

This is one instance of a situation that is far larger than an NHL franchise. Which is measly and a non-factor in comparison.

 

[SRHRangers]

Also, innocent until proven guilty.

 

[Garl]

Under no circumstances, can he go back to Russia. Literally could be a life/death situation if he sets foot in that country ever again.

No, you are ignorant on russian life.

well u do make a good point. But its out of our their hands.

I'd like to know what "proof that he did do this," looks like.

He wasn't exactly famous in 2011. It seems apparent no police records exist of this over there in Russia or Latvia or whatnot. Or they probably would have leaked already.

Besides a he-said, she-said situation, what evidence could possibly actually link him to this?

I wouldn't trust a victim or more witnesses coming forward in Russia. There is clear motivation to lie due to political pressure. Does someone have a video of him doing this?

Walked in the bar of the Radisson Hotel. Moreover, during the evening rest, he somehow did not like the young visitor of the institution. Our striker sent an 18-year-old citizen of Latvia to the floor with several powerful blows.
- Is the reason known?
- It's hard to say now. After beating the girl, he hurried to the room. And he asked to bring his teammate, Misha Anisin, who in the bar, unlike Artemy, ordered only juice. But the police arrived quickly. Panarin was detained. They drew up a protocol.
- Criminal case shone?
- Case, court and real time. But respected residents of Riga stood up for Panarin. Negotiations were held with the police authorities. I did not participate in the negotiations, but I heard about the figure of 40 thousand euros in cash - for letting things go on the brakes.

Please lock alexis lafreniere KAndre Miller and Adam fox in a glass case until 2022.

maybe we should do a background check before we learn . . . .

 

[Fitzy]

No, you are ignorant on russian life.

Care to clarify? Or is that all we're getting.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

then you worry about that when it happens. innocent until proven guilty. punish him when it’s shown he’s done anything. hell, at least show actual evidence beyond hearsay from a 3rd party.

No you don't. Are you kidding? It would be quite possibly the biggest PR nightmare you could imagine and the backlash and ramifications if they took the approach that you're suggesting would be much, much, much more dire than if they lose a few games while he's out. Personally speaking, this is the one thing that would cause me to revoke my fandom, you never put short term team success (or any success) over common human decency. We aren't Penn State.

You get your facts straight and then act upon them. If he did this, he won't play here again. IF he didn't do this, he'll be back soon.

 

[Vipers248]

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.

Actually Larry Brooks is reporting it

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

You clearly don’t know how background checks work do you.

Save the emotion detective

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I've said this already. Call me skeptical when someone says that "this started evil acts that culminated in his criticism of Putin". That insinuates that criticizing Putin as the height of evil. Usually when people say "culminated" that means that the worst thing ended up happening. Sounds like Nazarov is a huge Putin supporter. This sounds like utter bullshit.

 

[rangers1314]

Under no circumstances, can he go back to Russia. Literally could be a life/death situation if he sets foot in that country ever again.

Didn’t he spend all offseason there?

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

No, you are ignorant on russian life.

Pardon me if I don’t take word of the guy who just made a snarky comment about getting fired for hitting a girl when he was 7.

 

[Black Aces]

No idea if this is true but him criticizing Putin makes me think this could be a fabrication

Pure speculation, but if this actually happemed I dont think Panarin would be as vocal on social media for fear of this bubbling up.

Ok so he knew about it for ten years and it took him until now to speak about it...why exactly?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Unbelievable news.

If Panarin goes to Russia, he isn’t coming back

This is my take aswell.

 

[JimmyG89]

No, you are ignorant on russian life.

So, is this being ignorant? Being "arrested" in Russia based on disloyalty to Putin is not just being arrested. Did you pay any attention to what has happened there since the turn of the calendar year?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

If you guys want to know about Russia and Putin read Red Notice. I don't trust anything coming from that country. I don't think it's coincidence that it happened to him after criticizing Putin.

It's not coincidence at all. I think we all believe/know that these allegations are complete bullshit.

Team just needs to do its due diligence, however.
