why does voynov receive any more backlash than austin watson?
Exactly. Why is Watson playing again? Crazy. Complete bullshit to base it on his nationality. Mind boggling to me.I've been asking myself the same question. I somehow suspect that if he was a Canadian, this wouldn't be nearly the issue some are making it out to be. Otherwise Watson and others (P.Roy, etc) would be getting the same sort of ****... but that doesn't appear to be the case.
are you kidding?According to his wife she fell against the TV set. I have no idea if that's what really happened, but if she says so then it should be honored.
why can't that actually be the truth You realize the cop reports were made based on a interview with Marta who's first language is Russian and there was no interpreter at the interview. I think this fact is going unnoticed in this thread . Where as i don't think nothing happened i think the truth is somewhere between the report the cops are giving and what marta said in her reportare you kidding?
Wasn't his contract terminated in Sept 2015 ?If LA lets him. I believe they own his rights and can do whatever they want with him.

What if the NHL reinstates him but he is only allowed to sign for minimal salary and no playoff games forever.
He’ll be a ufa when he returns. Kings have his rights until he is reinstated.They held onto his rights or something like that if he is reinstated he is automatically Kings property so either he signs a contract with us and we trade him or he signs and plays for us . I hope it’s the latter on honestly

My point was simple the cops testimony is tinted without a interpreter there. There testimony should be dismissed but thats only my opinionPersonally, I don't believe it. BUT, neither do I think he should be receiving the vitriol he's been receiving, when other players in the NHL haven't received anything remotely close to this for very similar acts.

Yeah the language issue could potentially be a big one... but that really depends on how fluent she is in English, and that's not something I can really comment on.
I think it would be a PR nightmare for any reasonably sized market team to sign him
Yeah I'm talking about the NHL, not the NBA. That joke of a league runs on controversyLos Angeles, which can be called a "reasonably sized market," just signed Jason Kidd to be their top assistant coach (read: future head coach). This is in LA, in a sport populated by mostly PC African Americans. No backlash.
