  1. Washington shouldnt get mad at a guy for having a problem and going to fix it. It can happen to many us. The fact that you dont u understand how he can jeopardize his money for coke show a bit of less knowledge on the disease then someone who has been through it or deals.with it on the therapy side. I'm not saying you know nothing or no body who's had to struggle. Just that, no it doesnt make sense to sober people, I say if you sober pretend the drug is instead you choice of nicotine, your children, and your money, and you happiness all in one thing tl.chase.

  2. Suzy may not want to come back. Imagine how he'll get trolled by Flyers fans when he makes his next visit to Philadelphia.

  3. I think they should be allowed to take any drug that's not a performance enhancement one, its their personal life…

  4. He shouldn't be suspended for using coke, it doesn't enhance your performance, it affects your performance, that kind of explains his Jekyll and Hyde season.

  5. Love you Shannon, but I've gotta say you sound a little selfish here. We shouldn't be mad at him. He's human. He's flawed. I wish him a quick recovery. He will always be my number one.

  6. I have a feeling Ovechkin is tearing his house up room from room getting rid of his illegal substances
    PEDs …or just anything lol

  7. If there going to suspend all these guys in the NHL for smaller shit they should be holding Kuz accountable for this crap. The icing on the cake is he claimed he never did it and what do you know he was full of it. Too many coke heads in the NHL that gets swept under the rug it's become part of the culture and a problem.

  8. I’m not mad at him and I’m a caps fan he clearly has a problem . Hope he gets well . There’s more to life than hockey . Love ya always kuzy

  9. this may sound insensitive, if suspended does it count against the cap if he misses the entire year?. can caps void contract and go after a rha or make a trade?

  10. Now it makes sense why he’s celebrating like an eagle because he’s waayyy too HIGH up in the sky…..

  11. This may been said already, but here goes. I have no sympathy for Kuznetsov in this situation. This was a choice made by an adult, knowing the ramifications of that choice. I also think the Capitals home office should be able to take additional steps against him for what his absence does to their season. These guys are earning MILLIONS to play this game. They need to follow the rules of the organization

  12. It’s not a something he will get suspended for. The NHL will treat it as a medical disease rather than a criminal offense.

  13. I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I wonder if his contract still counts against cap space?

  14. So horrible, he is a role model to countless kids, NHL players need to be positive role models, they should make an example out of him.

  15. You cant be balling your brains out over cocaine. Get a good night sleep…think about how ridiculous this punishment is and maybe try an redeem yourself here.

  16. As a Caps fan I support Kuzy 100%. He made a stupid idiotic decision and he has owned it. I'm hoping he doesn't get a big suspension by the league but after watching your vid I'm preparing myself for the worst. Hopefully he does learn from this and makes himself a better person out of it

  17. Ovi and Tom Wilson spoke out giving support to Kuzy. I wonder if Kuzy will play this season or if he’s going to focus solely on his health.
