Disturbing details leak about Valeri Nichushkin situation
Up until today there have been very few details about what led Valeri Nichushkin to leave the Colorado Avalanche during the middle of the night. Reports surfaced that Nichushkin left the team hotel in the middle of the night accompanied by security. Further reports suggested Nichushkin was involved in an alcohol related incident which was quickly denied by his agent.
However new details surfacing out of Denver are shedding some disturbing light on the situation. The Denver Post shared the following details.
A woman was found so intoxicated in Avalanche forward Valeri Nichushkin's hotel room Saturday that a team doctor called for an ambulance to take her to a hospital, according to a Seattle Police Department report obtained Thursday by The Denver Post.
Nichushkin did not play that night in Game 3 of the Avalanche's first-round playoff series against the Kraken � and hasn't appeared with the team since then.
Team employees found the woman when they went to check on Nichushkin in his room at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Seattle where the Avs were staying, according to the incident report. The team doctor felt she was too intoxicated to safely leave the hotel in a cab, and called 911 at about 3:20 p.m. local time, the report states.
Additional details report that a 28-year-old woman had shared the following to authorities.
She should never have come to the United States and that some guy took her passport and that he was a bad person.
This incident continues to be extremely concerning and has certainly impacted the Avalanche who currently trailing the Kraken 3 games to 2 in their first round series.
