Huge blow to Avs Cup chances, dude is over a goal a game. No Nuke and no Landy as well is too much.
Players only get paid during the regular season so he will miss around of a month's worth of pay if he is reinstated after the 6 months.Suspended for minimum 6 months without pay for failing drugs test.
Yea that entire situation was weird. And with how dismissive he was of the entire thing just doesn't look goodWonder if what they swept under the rug last year did not stay under the rug.
Not singling you out but didn’t this happen to Jere Karalahti back in the day?Suspended for minimum 6 months without pay for failing drugs test.
I mean it's "stage 3" of the program...does anyone know what that exactly means? My best guess is "stage 1" was after last year's playoffs when he left the team; "stage 2" was in January of this year when he entered the program again; and now this is strike 3. I'm guessing they were some pretty stringent requirements about his return...this is the third time in the past ~365 days he's needed assistance. Clearly he's got a huge problem.Players don’t typically get suspended for abusing non-performance enhancing substances. This must have been part of him being reinstated in the first place.
Could have just been because of his prior issues and time on the assistance program.Does NHL even do drug testing? Seems weird to me. I guess he did something that really stood out in a bad way.
Dude just can't get out of his own way.
Addiction hits all classes.As I said, too many pats on the back and they'll burn you. I know. Zero empathy here, especially when we're dealing with millionaires. Just go deal with your problems. The rest of us have to.
Kuznetsov was caught doing coke and he got three games. Something tells me this was worse.

That was just plain stupidity tho. It’s one thing to keep it to yourself/friends at a party but posting it on your story for the world to see when you’re supposed to be a role model is a whole other thingRuzicka had his contract terminated by the Coyotes after his Instagram story shown some coke in it.
