In the last series, the Avalanche were eliminated in the very first round by the Seattle Kraken. It was quite surprising to see the defending champions packing up so quickly, but there were still some notable absentees.
Among the lot, there was in particular Valeri Nichushkin, who only played the first two games of the series. On the other hand, he did not miss the rest of the series due to an injury: it was due to a still very nebulous history which forced him to leave the team.
In short, even if we don’t know exactly all the details of this story yet (and it could remain mysterious for a while), we still wondered how the Russian was doing. He was spotted in Russia earlier this summer, but it was pretty brief regardless.
However, here we have news about the player, who published a story on Instagram today.
The problem is that the photos published are not exactly unanimous, when we see him with a gun in his hand.
And clearly, we are not talking about a simple pistol: it seems to be a submachine gun.
In this same photo, the player wrote the word “Romance” (in Russian), a message that shows his love for firearms. Note also that a second photo is present, where the weapon in question is in the hands of another person (whom he obviously considers as a brother considering the presence of the word “Brothers”) but on which he is also present.
Clearly, Gary Bettman must not be particularly pleased to see this today. Recall that in the NBA, a similar situation earned Ja Morant a 25-game suspension, when a video showing him with a gun in his hands was posted on social networks.
Does the same fate await Nichushkin? The question arises.
In short, once again, the Avalanche forward is not attracting attention for the right reasons. And clearly, I tell myself that the management of the Avalanche must not find it funny, especially since he still has seven years of contract at $ 6.125 million per year.
A lot of
– Hopefully it will be one of the CH players.
– The competition is low.
– Sad news.
