Panarin Taking Leave of Absence Amid 2011 Abuse Allegations; Political Hit Job?

[Jeremy9654]

The media in our country is a complete abomination so there is zero chance Im going to take anything out of Russia even a little serious. Gonna need actual proof for me to buy any of it.

The details are as quoted by his former coach.

Panarin went to the bar with few jersey man after loosing a game in Latvia.
Panarin had few drinks and knocked out a girl with few punches.
Panarin asked journeyman from the team to drive him to hotel, but police came.
Panarin contacted his people with influence who agreed with local police to defuse the situation for 40l euro. Situation was defused.

This is an absolutely fabricated story.

The questions here are:
1. Why Panarin beat up the girl, no reasons are stated.
2. Why would Panarin ask a jersey an to take him to hotel, does jersey man own a car in Latvia?
3. The bribe took place in Latvia, so no repercussions here. They covered them selves.

4, can Panarin beat up a girl?

Well that's what I'm saying. If a girl walked up to him, slapped him and spit in his face, and he hit her back... What then?

My guess is the leave of absence only lasts until he can get his family out of Russia.

Agree. He's probably taking time away to get them out.

I'm surprised he hasn't gotten his family out of there already to be honest. He's already made the wrong enemies over there by the sound of it. Plus, him taking a leave of his absence kind of makes him look a bit guilty, but who knows? It's a very odd situation. It's always something! LOL

From a hockey standpoint, this means elevated ice time for Lafreniere correct?

Until Artemy finds the source of this story?
The source is his former coach.

Good statement by the Rangers.

Nazarov is the same guy who threatened Spittin Chiclets for telling stories about the KHL right?

and now that Zib has the monkey off his back he will be propelled to MVP level.

Helga is a formidable opponent.

I believe that's right.

[CCCP]

I thought Panarin didnt have family snd was raised by grandparents, of whom only grandmother was alive?

[Morphinity]

And from all indications, he's a total psychopath.

[Sod16]

I've been afraid of something like this happening for months with his courageous and outspoken criticism of Putin. What is needed is unified outcry and support from other Russian NHL players, but I doubt it will happen. It would be great if at least one, namely Ovechkin, could step up.

This, what if it was a large bar fight and he was getting hit? What if this is semi-true, but it was a guy instead of a girl he hit and they are trying to make him look bad. Also, if this is true, why is it only coming out now and not earlier in his career when he was starting to blow up?

Agree. He's probably taking time away to get them out.

This as well, and I think this is the main reason. I hope the Rangers and anyone else can help him get them out of there.
