Yeah, that's super. Leads the playoffs in goals, and gets yanked..
There were a lot of weird rumors going around earlier in the year when he mysteriously took time off. Must have been some serious shit behind it... [Reply]
What a difference in the first 2 periods to the last. Back to Carolina for game 6 and if they happen to win that one the ol’ Blueshirts will be gripping their sticks a little tighter in game 7 back at MSG [Reply]
Every fiber of my Mahomes-following being prevents me from jumping to stupid conclusions in the first period of a non-series-deciding game and saying this series is over, but godfuckingdamnit..... the Stars are seriously feeling it and the Avalanche are already down Nichushkin and Toews. [Reply]

So, I mean, it ain't that much of a mystery.
I read it was a failed drug test before the game. Maybe that explains his playoff goals. Snow powered. [Reply]
I sincerely hope Nichushkin gets the help he needs, if for no other reason than for the baby daughter he was recently blessed with. She’s going to need a father who’s not strung out on opiates and booze.
But as an Avs fan - fuck that dude. Second playoffs in a row he’s sabotaged by pulling this shit. If the NHL has a similar conduct clause as the NFL, they need to void his contract and move on. 7 year, $7M/yr for what?? Going AWOL two playoffs in a row? The franchise, fans - and most of all his teammates - don’t deserve this shit.
So disappointing. The way Georgiev has stepped up since game 1 against Winnipeg, we had as good of a shot as anyone to win another Cup. [Reply]
