It is kinda wild how quiet things were after that drunk and nearly unconscious woman was found in Nichushkin's hotel room around this time last year. And it wasn't his wife. He doesn't seem to be getting better.
I wonder if he's going to jail for that. And honestly I miss kadri
Don't let Avs twitter see this. They will say "No crime was committed" anytime you reference the Seattle incident.
What?
I never heard this story.
@@bobkuboske6494 the much bigger story would be the Seattle police participating in a cover up and we'd know by now if he was going to jail for that incident. Also to the original comment him cheating on his wife isn't anything anybody other then his family should give AF about.
Ever since the incident last year something is weird around him. It doesn't surprise me especially with how they kept the Seattle incident quiet.

Hockey guy inception!!!
THGception
Skanneception
I want a hat of that
He should put another tiny logo on that hat, then an even tinier one on that......
You'd have to think Nichushkin has failed a drug test for this honestly. If that is the case, with his history, as an employer you have to take disciplinary action.
I would think that the team would be allowed to put his contract on ltir?
As an Avs fan, I wish him the best his personal health which is the most important,
with that being said with the team as a business it doesn’t seem to be the best fit where he needs to focus on his health away from hockey. It’s a big let down two years in a row In the most important part of the season when we needed him the most. It’s sad to see especially seeing him hit his stride.
@@markroberts9577 When a player is in the Assistance Program, there are no salary cap implications, meaning no cap relief. The player does not count against the team's 23 roster spots though. The Capitals had to eat Kuznetzov's cap hit until they were able to trade him.
The way he lit up the Jets in the first round they probably found an entire kilo of coke in his bloodstream
@@KevinWindsor1971 Do you know if that's the case for level 3 as he's suspended without pay?
Nikushkin has $36.75 Million left on his contract. That's a lot to give up for an addiction. Tells me a lot about how serious addiction can be.
Good point.
So sorry to hear that news about Nichushkin. I was really hoping that he had tamed his demons and straightened out his life for good. I hope that this suspension works and he cleans himself up. I am a Stars fan but no one ever wants to see this happen to anybody and I am praying for him.
Next stop KHL for Nischkunin
Shame cause he really turned his career around in Colorado.
Or the Ukranian front...
I would say a good reason for his success. Was because he was playing high a lot of the time.
Substance abuse is treatable, especially USA vs Russian rehab. He'll be back
@@CoachMacdaddy нет.
Aves missing his big net front presence, affecting Makar's offensive game IMHO
"If you hit the post, you missed the net" - future THG t-shirt/mug
i dont know if i have ever seen the leading scorer out of the play offs for drugs very wild
He obviously has some VERY serious drug issues.
I think if it were just drugs this wouldn't be happening. I think it's a lot deeper than that. I think the organization may have been willing to cover up a few things because of how good of a player he is but they might not be able to for much longer.
@@MrTkillian he already had 2 strikes. The half dead girl found in his hotel room and whatever happened last year in the playoffs.
In America, 3 strikes you’re out.
@@thomas77597 wasn't that during the playoffs last year?
@@MrTkillian the undocumented 1/2 dead hooker was not in the playoffs. They never gave an explanation for the playoff exit I believe. I’m not an Av’s fan btw just watch too much hockey.
Dallas was playing the long game. This was their plan all along. Nuke not scoring for a season to entice CO to pick him and then destroy CO from within for this very series years later.
Nichuskin has gotten away with a lot of his off ice activities. He’s lucky it’s not worse
I didn’t realize there were stages. Can you do a video on that?
theres 6 stages ,theo fleury hit them all
@@tophercabba I didn't know there were 6 stages
Its probably relative to your fame, media coverage and how liked your are among all NHL fans how many stages you get, for example someone like Sam Bennett could get 3 stages, but Aleksander Barkov, would get 10 stages if both really tried hard at it.
That would be nice.
Assuming there actually are defined stages and not just something the program cobbles together on a case-by-case basis.
@@aaronreeve1414 It is all part of the NHLPA contract.
Just really hope whatever Nichuskin is going through he eventually gets the help he needs and comes out the other side of it a healthier and happier human being, hockey or not.
people only receive the help they WANT, not always what they need...😑
I'd imagine stage one was the incident last year. 2 Was this February and now stage 3.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! Nichushkin did it to us again???!!! Well … stay strong AVALANCHE ❤️
3 ducking years in a row!!! In and out in and out. He’s a ducking liability now!
@@ericveren07 2 years, not 3
@@ericveren07Where do you get 3?
@@rhyta5042 probably because Stage 3 means third incident. I think all 3 started with the intoxicated woman in the hotel room last year, though.
If you Hit the post, you missed the net
Sounds like a new coffee cup or shirt
There's a quote (I can't find it now) where a goalie was asked about a team hitting a bunch of posts and he responded something along the lines of, "what? I have to stop the pucks that aren't going in, too?"
JT hit the post or it would be game over sooner! No one on Canucks said if only we didn't hit that post!
@@jonmendelson1104 Grant Fuhr would say: "You hit the post, because that's all I gave you".
Exactly. If the puck is shot off a post or crossbar, it must cross the goal line to be considered a shot on goal. Hitting the post and having the puck ricochet into the corner is statistically the same as shooting it directly into the corner.
IF YOU HIT THE NET, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HIT THE POST ;)
I didn't know Hanifin played for the Canucks 😂
😂 I caught that too. He probably meant Noah Juulsen, but thought of Hanifin because they both share the first name.
If Hanifin payed for the Canucks, their blueline is top 10 in the league imo.
There goes Colorado's chance of going back to the Stanley Cup Finals
Big Val was such a big part of that cup run in 2022 too. Just crappy news to hear this late in the season.
@@dereks1848 Landeskog was probably keeping him inline. Hard without the team Captain being there.
@@girardedward nobody keeps an addict inline, but addict himself.
Without Nichushkin and Gabriel Landeskog and questions between the pipes and being down 3-1, the Avs are on borrowed time.
I think the toughest part, was they only found out about it right as they were getting to the rink for the game.
As a neutral observer, I have to say it's actually wild how poorly these playoffs have been officiated. On top of that the always consistent DOPS are now picking their spots instantly sussing Soucy for touching McDavid, meanwhile there's been a whole host of suspendable offenses like Mountor/Mikkola's antics vs Tampa, Bennett suckering Marchand, and all of the bad blood happening in this Edmonton Vancouver series.
im not sure if you know this but after that crosscheck on mcdavid i heard that hymann or someone else on edmonton crosschecked zadorov in the face and he needed stiches and was bleeding so i feel that the suspension was fair against soucy but i believe that there should have also been a game suspension for hyman or whoever is was
I fuxking love hockey but the NHL is a mickey mouse league. So embarrassing all the time
@@Jrrobins99I'm pretty sure it was Hyman but potentially could have been RNH. Many people are saying it was Hyman.
@@benderbendingrodriguez420I feel that. It's basically whoever Bettman wants to win the Cup wins it. He has been in charge for 31 years now. He needs to get the boot.
This Bennett punch is ridiculous. While it couldn't have been to a more deserving rat, Marchand went limp for a second and was clearly out on his feet for a while. For a league that is simultaneously trying to deny that CTE is a thing AND reduce concussions, to let that go unpunished is unconscionable.
6 months! What do he do? Push Gary Betman down a flight of stairs?
If we could be so lucky
Nah it's drug and alcohol issues, along with the one nick mentioned on how he alledgedly to advantage of a drunk woman.
@@joezhang4112 i really despise people pushing that narrative. so when two drunk and high people hook up it means the man took advantage? why not say the woman took advantage of him?
Do you know, is it suspended from the NHL with a chance of being reinstated or from the NHLPA player asstance thing? I couldn’t tell
@@doodlebob2023 It would depend on what she looked like... :)
I wonder what the program was and what it meant. Starting to watch more hockey now and your channel has helped me learned a lot.
I was surprised the Avs didn't trade him, because a player like him in the playoffs is a lot worse than Marner, for the second year in a row, he betrays his team at the moment he's needed the most
To be fair Nichuskin was a huge part of the cup run. Huge. On a broken foot. Which might be related to his drug problems. But! His goodwill is now gone completely. Fool me twice and all that. We accepted him missing half the regular season because of who we knew he could be in the playoffs, and because he expressed desire to get right. Apparently that meant nothing
Yeah not so sure about that. He had more of and impact and scored more goals than Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander combined.
Maybe you could break down the different stages and what they mean. That would be good for fans. Love what you do. Keep it up.
obviously he has no idea himself and is just guessing :D
should have kept kadri instead of him
This incident reminds me a little of Toronto losing Kadri twice to suspension in the playoffs, actually…
@@tyraelhermosa Kadri for activities during play not outside of them
What they should do is get a good goaltender, not just good enough if they them self score 5 to 7 goals a game, i dont know if possible but maybe they could get Saros or someone else at least that level.
That's not good for Colorado
But it's good for Dallas
😂
Doesn’t matter Dallas isn’t winning the cup anyway
They’ll blunder it atleast when the avs make it to the Stanley cup finals we don’t blunder
Rangers or Florida bout to whoop yo ass and you know it
@@rydermccracken9199 they're the best team in the west, best chances now.
Yeah, Shannon, I think you’re right. You can argue that hitting the post means that you either shot wide or the goalies positioning was spot on and you got what he gave you.
Can you make a video on NHLPA and the Stages of Violations?
Seems like a black box that nobody knows the details about levels of violations/severity.
Good luck to the Stars, too deep for the Avs. I hope you get your cup! - Avs fan
Dude can I say you are the first Avs fan on here that has any kind of positive attitude and I appreciate you for that, was having decent conversations with knights fans during our series despite the rivalry, but as soon as we matched the Avs it has been nothing but toxicity in conversation. Good on you man, I hope the Avs have another baller season next year
Being suspended for 6months seems kinda wild. That's the kinda thing I would suspect is more than just a simple failed test, but perhaps that's just the repeat offender language for the assistance program. Hope he gets the help he needs, but I would not be surprised if the avs decide to move on in the offseason.
sounds like Nichuskin is a prime Oiler candidate
Well he went through the program before and now that he did, he does face those consequences.
@SantiagoTPC exactly, if he never entered the program mid year, he could be doing all the coke he wanted to right now
Has there been another player that has gone to stage 3 or 4 of the PA program?? It’s not like he didn’t know drug tests were coming, and he still picked the drugs over his career. Just sad. Makes you wonder how many goals he scored in these playoffs he was high as a kite. How many chances is the nhl gonna give this guy? I hope he gets the serious help he needs before something tragic happens.
Apparently, this is what happens when a players gets to stage 3 of the Players Assistance Program. It just seems odd only because I don't think there's been another reported case of a player going to this stage of the program, so it's all new to us.
He had to have failed something, considering he was on for the morning skate, fully expecting to play.
Yes, the suspension is punitive. It should be. The Player Assistance Program is there to help you but if you're not willing to help yourself, you can't expect to keep getting 2nd chances. Either you're serious about your recovery or you're not.
Problem is, you can hit the post and it goes in! Rarely happens, but it does happen! Game of inches...
You can hit a player or a stick and have it go in as well, doesn't mean the original shot was on net.
@@chrismdb5686 when you hit a post and it goes in, it's on net cause it has to hit the inside of the post! And many goals not on net are scored off of stocks or players! Shots on net are more stoppable unless the goalie doesn't see it! Deflections are harder to stop!
I'd Imagine the comment by Leon, was mainly trying to get into Vancouvers heads.
Can you do a video on Hannifin playing for the Canucks?
Huh?
Could you do a deep dive on the NHL players assistance program? What are the stages and how does that all incorporate into the NHL? Would really appreciate something like that
Thanks for all your hard work, it shows all the time
Thank you for not inciting a riot over the Leafs loss in game 7. You are the only hockey media on UA-cam that I still subscribe to. Everyone else is using the Leafs loss to pad click stats and get people worked up enough to act in childlike anger. Its disturbing for Canadian hockey fans to be so heartless in disparaging hometown hockey heroes. Toronto media and amateur youtubers are relentless in trying to be armchair GMs and asking the fans to tell the team what to do. Thanks for not presuming who stays and who goes.
The posts hit reminds me of that scene in benchwarmers “I ticked it I ticked it!”
“You’re still out”
Wonder if its something like painkillers, those can be really addictive.
"If you hit the post, you missed the net" thank you! So many people think posts merit a special mention.
The post had two great saves for Canada in the Women's gold medal game in Sochi (Сочи).
It's time to cut Nichuskin. They should be able to dump his contract. This is two playoff runs in a row. If he isn't available to play then it's time for him to go.
Still had more of and impact and scored more goals than Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander combined :D
@@hhazzetrue. But when they needed him most, he is a complete idiot. This is 2 years in a row!!! I say dump him. The team and fans deserve better.
They can't while he is in the player assistance program.
What timing NHL thanks for letting the entire AVs team know just right before the game. Great mental. Happy we got the organization looking out for us so we can have a good, clean, and even "do or die" game.
SWEET JERSEY 🔥
Showing people your bunnies and your cats is another way to make a video become less heavy. Animals have a way of helping things feel a lot better.
There are way too many unknowns around Nichushkin to feel comfortable speculating. If this is a PED thing, a six month suspension seems totally reasonable. But if that's the case, I'm not sure how/why the Player Assistance Program is involved. On the other hand, this sure seemed like alcohol and/or coke when he entered the program the last time. An apparently mandatory suspension around that seems off to me simply because it ostracizes the idea of seeking help with addiction. It sucks he failed, but I thought the PAP was supposed to prevent players hiding their issues and get the help they need? If there's a suspension threat, doesn't that defeat the purpose and drive everything back underground?
I guess there's a third option of him showing up to work clearly on drugs, and that ends up being more of a standard workplace violation, but something in all this doesn't make sense. We may never know the whole story -- and that's fine, especially if it helps him and other players get help -- but it's a weird story as it stands.
In the NHLPA Player Assistance Program 6 month suspension comes after you fall off the wagon for the third time. If you are sober at the end of the suspension then the team has to take you back. If you fall off the wagon for the fourth time then it is 12 month suspension and the team doesn't have to you back at the end even if you are sober.
As Av fan, this stings, his game heavily rely upon and helps to get superstars' room. Avs need to make their own history, come back, and break game7 record. Not sure if Avs can play Cory Perry's card if he's reinstated. But most importantly, I hope that he gets his life back on track. Substance abuse is no joke
From what I understand is that his previous stint in the assistance program had a random drug testing clause as a part of graduation. He failed it and now, there are consequences written to address such failure. If that's the case, we have no ground to argue if the punishment is either too harsh or too lenient. It's contractually solid.
The issue with the Soucy suspension is the fact that the league is playing favourites. It was a stupid thing to do and warranted a suspension, but so did Trouba's flying elbow attempt on Necas and Bennett's sucker punch KO to Marchand. If you're going to punish one and not the other, it's a joke
Agreed the other two should have been more than one game as well.
The major difference is Soucy is a Canuck.
Big OOF for the Avs!
If you hit the post does the goalie get a save? No? THEN IT ISN'T A SHOT! That is all.
It’s a shot if pucks hits the post and goes in.
My thoughts: I think a Sleemans Honey Brown would be nice right about now.
I was in shock seeing Nichushkin being out, like what was that? Absolutely bonkers.
When does the new THG logo drop?
The issue with players in the DAP is that fans of that player want them to play, at times OVER their health.
This time of year, the suspension is going to be longer. That's just how it is.
3 months isn't even the start of next season yet.
What these suspensions (especially consistent violations of the DAP) say to me.. the NHL actually values the player's health.
They've gone through tons of this before. 20 something with more money than a 70 year old knows how to spend? Yeah, that'll never turn ugly.
And unfortunately, if the issue doesn't get nipped early, escalation and tragedy aren't unlikely.
Mental health, physical health, and sustainability are critical factors in pro sports, and prioritizing an individuals health over their profitability margin is saying something positive.
There are a lot of things the NHL gets wrong. I could ask Vancouver and Edmonton and Boston (and pretty much every other team's fans) about it, but in this, I genuinely think they're one of the best.
Transparency needs to improve on a team and league level, but I'm one to argue that we don't need the intimate details of a person's life.
If they want to keep that private, they should have that option.
These are people, and they deserve their space and time too. As much as hockey players can be highly revered in countries like Canada and the US, it's important we don't forget that aspect of it.
great insightful comment!
For player in the NHLPA Player Assistance Program falling off the wagon for the third time is an automatic 6 month suspension. Nhl has no say in that.
Crazy news about Nichushkin, the Avs were really benefitting from his presence and play style in these playoffs. We'll see how the team handles this. I feel for Nichushkin on a personal level and really hope he gets all the support and resources he needs. The suspension seems appropriate, there has to be some serious (non financial) consequences for the players in these situations or the League looses credibility.
A hockey guy wearing a hat of a hockey guy wearing a hat
this was weird. they usually wait till the end of the playoffs for bans like this.strange to pull the trigger mid playoffs. warranted, but weird.
0:28 hanafin? You mean Juulsen
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
so is it 6 months starting now or when next season starts
Starting now.
But I don’t see the Avs giving him another chance. Not after leaving them in the lurch in the playoffs two years in a row.
It's starting now, but it could last longer than 6 months, most likely will, at that point, Colorado will probably cut him off the team since personal issues have come up 3 times in the past year.
@@SantiagoTPC if he is sober at the end of the 6 months colorado has to take him back according to the collective bargaining agreement. If he falls off the wagon for the fourth time then it is 12 month suspension and the team doesn't have to take him back anymore.
I got the notification and saw nichuskin suspended for 6 months and was like what?? Am I seeing correctly or is this a typo
He is in the NHLPA Player Assistance Program. He fell off the wagon for the third time and according to the collective bargaining agreement that means automatic 6 month suspension.
Unfortunately, the Avs aren't going far without Nichushkin. Their playoffs are about to end prematurely, just like last year due to his actions.
I am an Avs fan, and I am at the game (1st intermission) everyone is talking about the suspension and they are mostly frustrated with Val. Feel for the person, but he is a key part of this team and has let everyone down two post seasons in a row. Disappointed
I feel the same way I hope he gets better but I can’t imagine the Avs keeping his contract thinking it’s going to benefit the team😪
Dallas already had momentum in the series but this probably kills any comeback attempts by the avalanche so disappointed
Funny how he was suspended for drug use and not rape and human trafficking from last year (just because charges were dropped doesn’t mean he never did anything folks, Lucic still attacked his wife despite the charges being dropped…)
Nichushkin with the nose cardio
2:58 I just want to take this moment to congratulate the Edmonton Oilers for winning the Stanley Post.
Real stupid to get pulled out due to a positive drug test. I know he struggled in the past but it’s the playoffs team is always first
Wonder if Nuke's time in Denver might be coming to an end? Even with 7 years left on his deal.
Almost as if he's an addict and has a mental illness and it's not as simple as "make better decisions"
Bet its way more than that... Just wait
@@Wayf4rer in Denver only? maybe in the NHL
Addiction, it's a rough one. I wouldn't call him stupid for struggling with it, hoping the best for him.
We bid you well Nichushkin. I’m more impressed with the fact that you suffer from substance abuse and yet still deliver in the playoffs. Russians built different.
if you hit the post you hit the part of the net that doesnt count. you didnt hit the netting but u did actually hit the net as posts are a part of the net so you didnt miss the net.
Sure, but it still doesn't count as a shot on goal.
stage 3 is basically rehab
The suspension lets him focus on getting clean and not worry about hockey. Question is was he on performance enhancers? That would explain his sudden skill boost when getting to Colorado.
It’s probably a more serious drug as he’s been addicted for years
This has the open the door for the Avs to terminate Nichushkin's contract?
only if he fails after 6 months, i guess.
@@melanisticmandalorian8909 correct. If he's sober at the end of the 6 months colorado has to take him back. Next time it is a 12 month suspension and the team doesn't have to take him back anymore.
@@blegi1245 oh man ... more chances .... I hope he gets his shit together, otherwise he is really hurting is badly. For his and his families sake, I hope he really gets his act together, cuz 1) he needs to clean his life up 2) he needs to keep his contract and help the team.
Hanifin draws in? U mean Juulsen?
I know if i failed a drug test at work id be fired...
The avs gotta look out for their other players at this point... cut ties with him as soon as they legally can and spend his 6 mil a year on a guy who wants to play hockey and not get high in the team hotel with hookers...
Like drouin. Who was going to be too expensive for us but REALLY showed up to play this year
avs already changed name on his locker.
Agreed. If you can't grow tf up and take responsibility for yourself you DONT get to play a kids game and make millions.
Does the six months include the off-season as well? If so he would be eligible to apply for reinstatement by November 13? Someone educate me on this. I don’t know how that works.
He is eligible to return in November.
If he is sober he can apply for reinstatement november 13th.
try explaining stages. how are we supposed to knw what he did guess?
Your curiosity is understandable, but not enough reason to violate someone’s privacy.
Stage 1 is a warning, basically, with some time in player assistance. Stage 2 is a second incident. Stage 3, where Val is, means he had a third incident. If he gets reinstated after this suspension and fails another drug test, he may never play in the league again.
I don't remember Nichuskin being called for a hearing?!?
On ice I’ve been a fan for awhile but idk how any team could trust him to be consistent hope he gets the help he needs but I feel he may be headed to the khl
The playoffs just took a major turn. I don't want to sound like leaning on conspiracy theories, but the playoffs just opened up for Florida to win this outright.
Russian gas in use the KHL apparently
Hope Val gets the help he needs
Toews out from illness? Sounds like nausea, headaches, blurry vision consistent with a blow to the head. Benn skating around
I think we can all agree that the best thing to come out of the Nichushkin suspension was that we no longer have to listen to Garry Galley constantly mispronouncing his name.
From the UK, it's the same in "proper" football if you hit the woodwork it's counted as an off-target shot. Cheers HG i really enjoy your posts so keep the high standards.
Here in the US, they play improper football with a lot of improper players.
@@OldRustySteele They also play football where they kick the ball around 10 or 12 times an hour, "handball" would be a more apt name! or is that "improper?"
@@russell-di8js That’s very true, Russell! I often wondered how they came up with the name “football” when most of it was running and tackling, more like rugby (back when American “football” was invented, there was very little passing). BTW, I got to attend a hockey game in Cardiff, Wales the last time I was in the UK. It was very well attended and the fans were really into it.
To be honest I am surprised they made it out of the first round with our goal tending. The only reason we won was the amount of scoring we did. Playoffs are usually low scoring tightly contested games. We had to come back in so many games in the 3rd period, because our goalie is constantly in the first two periods giving up so many easy goals. On average is save percentage has to be in the 700 range in the first two periods. I told my buddy before the playoffs we will be lucky to get out of the first round with our goal tending. Now we lose Nichushkin for the second year in a row. He made a me decision instead of a team decision again. He picked himself over the team again and left them high and dry. Need to cut bait on him, because at this point he has done it twice in the playoffs. He is going to do it again. He is no good if he is not on the ice. This is my honest opinion as an Av's fan since they moved to Colorado. If they would have fixed the goalie situation I think the sky was the limit for this team.
What if you don't hit the post? Whoooooooa.
Well it's great for my bracket but also terrible for who I'm rooting for with Nichushkin getting suspended.
Does this suspension affect his pay?
He is suspended without pay.
“Hey, lay me down some rails boys
Don't put me in jail boys
And if I make a little noise
Just leave me alone”
I really hope Val gets the help he needs. I thought he was doing very well in Colorado after he was traded there. I wonder if his problem started after they won the cup cause he played on a broken foot.
"If you hit the post you missed the net" Alex DeBrincat please take note.
I've been so conditioned by John Garrett doing colour commentary that whenever a player hits the post I think to myself: "That's all he gave them" in Cheech's voice
My only problem is that I don't understand how a shot thats going well wide of the net thats grabbed by a goalie to stop play it counts as a shot on net yet a puck that hits the post doesn't, when it can just miss going in by a hair thats always annoyed me.
A shot that is stopped by a goalie that was going wide does NOT count as a shot on goal or a save (except at MSG, apparently). It's one reason you see shot totals decrease from time to time. They review plays to get the stats right.
Shannon, we need a serious look into the CBA.
How did the businessmen in the NHL get saddled with such an anchor around their necks, compared to the NFL , NBA and MLB?
Rick DiPietro.....discuss.
I hope Nichuskin gets help and healthy.
Posts is not good shooting
I’m kind of confused as to why there is a suspension at all for drugs outside of PEDs. Like if it’s not a performance enhancer, then of course I still want them to get help and be healthier, but I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to play.
I'm guessing you are supposed to keep it within the rule at your job site. I'd imagine a random person would probably be put into some kind of assistance program or get the contract terminated for this kind of behavior.
How do you know it wasnt PEDs, this idea of him breaking the assistance program has nothing to do with last year to our knowledge as he entered the program mid season of this year.
I don’t see why either this is to help Dallas make it to the cup final to blunder it 😂😂😂
Hearing a lot of rumors that this could be PED's and if that's the case, the avalanche entire team should have been suspended in the first round and the jets should have moved on to the second round to play dallas 😂. Colorado will take over from vegas in being the league's worst cheaters. GO STARS!!!
If it turns out to be PEDs Jets fans have every right to be pissed - especially considering Bowness just retired after thinking he’d gone as far as he could… how sad all around.
Eh.. if you hit the post you missed the net, poetic justice if you ask me!
i rushed home after work because i KNEW there was gonna be a video!! Thanks for all you do!
Did you hanafin going to draw In? Canucks are deep haha
:26 Hanifin?
Meh, misspoke. It happens.
@@TheHockeyGuy all good Boss. Just thought there was another Hanifin I didn't know about. Ha ha
