[Report: Varlamov being sued by ex-girlfriend | ProHockeyTalk | NBC Sports](http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/27/report-varlamov-being-sued-by-ex-girlfriend/)

Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov is being sued by his ex girlfriend, Evgenia Varinyuk for several instances of physical abuse. He was arrested for assault last year but charges were dropped. Apparently, Ms. Varinyuk kept changing her story.

Now, with the Avalanche struggling and all of the domestic violence charges being tossed around in the NFL, Varinyuk pops back up with what looks like a money grab. This isn’t the first time she’s done this. Last year, while charges were pending, she was requesting compensation to give interviews about the alleged assault.

Playing goalie in the NHL is a very mental job. Hopefully Varlamov can leave the lawsuit off the ice and keep his focus on his game. I’m not an Avalanche fan, but I love good hockey and great goaltending.
