The bail was "only" set at $5,000? That tells me that they're not certain that the charges will stick, or at the very least they are something that Varlamov will be able to plea out of.

Or that he's not a flight risk.

I'm sorry, but no one said anything mysogynistic apart from one person saying "She's not even that hot." I'm tired of this word being thrown around all over the place. Just because people might think she might be lying, doesn't mean they are being discriminatory towards woman, lying isn't exclusive to a gender. It has to do with her story being a little more egregious with each telling that they think she might be lying, not because she's a woman. You are right though that we shouldn't be speculating on a possible victim or on the case at all.

Back to hockey, Varlamov is starting tonight. Really surprised he will be starting on the road.

The posts were deleted Mr. Sagan.

I don't really get that. On the road, it just draws a lot of negative attention and if he doesn't perform well it's going to really come back under fire.

I knew he wouldn't miss much time but I would have thought, start Giggy so the fans have nothing to go mental about in Dallas and let Varly play at home where there is a good chance the fans stand behind him.

maybe they figured, the boo birds would be less on the road then at home?...im sure like in every NHL city, there are season ticket holders who are oblivious to whats going on outside of their own team and have no clue what is going on with Varly....i dont know, just throwing that out there. and for tomorrow, play JS cause if Varly is in net tomorrow and does not perform well, the boo birds may or may not hit hard? my guess is I dont think there is a PERFECT answer

Fair enough, I did not know that.

i dont think the posts that were deleted were offensive...most of them if not all were opinions and no foul language or degrading comments were posted (from what i remember)

Ridiculous that the wife beater is starting tonight. Nice message to send...but I guess Roy has done it too.

Except he just ripped a door of it's hinges. As for Varly he's innocent until proven guilty, if he is guilty I would like him removed from the team, but at the moment he hasn't been convicted of anything.

He's moulding the team in his image.

Good morning.

Still very early to pretend anything at this point. Come back when the facts are out, then we'll decide how many stickers you'll get.

I actually didn't say anything about him being guilty or not. What I said was that the charges would not affect his ability to play hockey. Considering that he is starting tonight, I would say it had no effect.

Someone is a little sensitive in this blog and deleting all posts regarding Varlamov and this incident. Pretty hilarious if you ask me, the referee doing all the deleting must have a personal connection to a similar incident.

No, not all posts regarding Varlamov. Speculative posts about those not charged or accusing and posts victim blaming. Get your facts straight sherlock.

And now, those justifying domestic violence. Wake up kids, you can always walk away. And so could a guy who is dealing with a "bat poop crazy" person.

What is wrong with speculating... isn't that what this site was built on?

HOCKEY speculation. Speculate on how this may affect the Avs.

I do wonder why every thread with poop being stirred on this issue begins with random comments from Canucks fans. Why do you all have a horse in this race?

We have horses in every race.

Considering Varlamov "allegedly" beat the crap out of an incident woman, yet he's playing in net for the Avs while out on bail for losing his temper and attacking an innocent woman... I think this can't be good for the Avs organization moving forward.
