Snow-blower might have worked better lol
Such a waste. He looked so good in his first year as a Flame.
And to think there were some people who talked about wanting to bring this guy back to Calgary. Hard pass.
I always thought Ruzicka had the talent to be a good NHL player but was surprised he couldn’t put it together. When we found out about his coke problem it made a lot more sense. At this point it is not surprising that someone whose self destructive habits ruined his NHL career is self sabotaging his KHL career.
I guess there’s always time to learn how to flip hamburgers.
My man still plowing that snow
You know it’s BAD when even the KHL don’t want you. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Its honestly impressive to get the Russians to kick out out of their league
I remember being pretty high on him as a Flame. When he was actually playing he was just a solid middle 6. Maybe top 6 player.
For example the 20 points he scored in 2022-33 was in the first 25 games of the season. And included 2 3-point nights. Averaging ~13m a night and was +5.
Of course that same season he then had 0 points in 19 straight games. Played 8m a night and was scratched and benched constantly. Not even playing any games past March 20th.
Which was when we were fighting for the 2nd wildcard. He was sat during our most important stretch of the season for players like our Shootout specialist Nick Ritchie.
I remember being bummed he got claimed by Arizona. Then he posted himself doing coke like a month later and I went. « Well…his inconsistentcy makes sense now. »
I had to re-read that
The funniest part is that he was annihilating the KHL – .8 ppg in defense-heavy league. Very talented guy!
