  • Semyon Varlamov arrested on domestic violence charges

    Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov has been arrested on domestic violence charges, according to reports.

    The Denver Police Department announced that the netminder had turned himself into authorities voluntarily on Wednesday, and that a police spokesperson would be speaking on the matter later on in the evening.

    The Avalanche released a statement as well. "The Colorado Avalanche is aware of the allegations concerning Semyon Varlamov," they said. "At this time, and until the conclusion of the investigation, the Avalanche organization will have no further comment on this situation."

    Varlamov, 25, is 7-1-0 with the club this season, and perhaps the biggest reason for their fast start. They have 10 wins in their first 11 games. His .945 save percentage and 1.76 goals-against average have him among the NHL leaders in both categories.

    More to come.

      Oh wow, this is pretty serious. Athletes always seem to manage to get off lightly though.

        Great news for the Aves. Looks like Patrick Roy is really rubbing off on Varlamov, on and off the ice. :roll:

          "I'm confident of Semyon's innocence," Russian parliamentarian Igor Ananskikh told a Russian news agency R-Sport. "I think it is a sports and political move, as Varlamov is a candidate for the Russian national team. The main goal is to suspend him from training and games so that he loses practice and misses the Olympics."

            A judge has allowed Varlamov to travel with the Avalanche.

            $5,000 bond.

                  His girlfriend said that he was drinking for 16 hours before the beating and that he's beaten her before but she stuck around because she thought he'd change when he came to Colorado. She says he's very violent and has a bad drinking habit.

                      People who speak Russian say the translator was inaccurate in translating what Varlamov's girlfriend was saying in an interview. Doesn't help that the translator is her lawyer's fiancee.

                        Charged with 3rd degree assault, kidnapping charge was dropped. He could face up to two years in country jail.

                        He'll likely end up with community service. He's rich.

                          He should go to jail. But you're right, he probably won't.

                              But of course. Settled out of court for a nice sum of money I suspect.
