Avs net minder- Semyon Varlamov- arrested on DV related charges

[Ronin13]

Well crap! It looks like just when things are going good for the Avalanche, something bad has to happen. Goaltender, Semyon Varlamov turned himself in to DPD on domestic violence related charges from yesterday. One count of 2nd degree kidnapping (F4), and one count of 3rd degree assault (M1).

KUSA - Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov turned himself in Wednesday night to Denver Police detectives for domestic violence related charges.

According to DPD information officer Sgt. Steve Warneke, the arrest stems from an Oct. 29 conflict, and an arrest warrant was issued. Varlamov has been charged with third-degree assault and second-degree kidnapping.

If anyone remembers, Patrick Roy, then a goalie as well, had DV related charges (Criminal mischief) dismissed back in 2000... Let's hope this gets cleared up, especially with our 10-1 record right now.

I'll wait and see what the investigation finds. It's not like we don't have a quality backup goalie.

I wouldn't call 2nd degree kidnapping a mere DV. If he is convicted he needs some quality time in the slammer. The team should suspend him until this is cleared up.

The kidnapping charge can be ………. odd…..

is it really kidnapping to take your own kids ?

wait for FACTS before you pass judgement

Seems to depend on if the taker has an affirmative defense for taking the children from the other parents. For those less experienced in law, the excuse for criminal behavior is called an affirmative defense. In family law, it's also called a vagina.

FIRST thing I thought of when I saw the story.
Seems Patty Roy has been teaching him more than goaltending.

I think it's just the nature of most hockey players...but I tend to stick to the innocent until proven guilty line of thought with hockey guys.

Now if this was a Bronco/Rockie/Nugget...I don't think anyone would even think twice. Guilty, lock him up and throw away the key.

Well it is now apparently a conspiracy to weaken the Russian Olympic team

Somewhere.. JM is crying into his sponge bob pillow.

Meh. I like Varly. I have my own thoughts on the whole thing.

I don't think much will happen. He's not going to go to jail. That's almost a given as it's his first offense.

I think there is more to the story. But I'll keep my opinions to myself.
