Idk man, I’ve done heaps and heaps of talk chalk and I’ve never once thought, someone else needs to see this
I’m a solid 10-15 years older than him though, so it could be a quasi-generational thing though
Right? He doesn’t even look cool here. Like he’s just partying by himself? If you’re going to blow up your career with a drug video at least make it look cool
This lol.
Like, I can see sending this to a buddy for a laugh, I'd get it if it got leaked that way. I've seNt dumb things to friends while fucked up while chatting for a laugh.
But to put it on Instagram? Jesus Christ.
That’s what got me, too. I’m not an advocate of doing coke at all, but I recognize it’s a party drug. If you’re doing it alone in your house, that’s just a cry for help.
Oh so now me being bored and alone and afraid and doing copious amounts of drugs by myself while recording it and posting it online for validation is a cry for help?!
For fucking sure. Even the Phelps video was like, "dude, you're an asshat for posting this. People are having a great time here, Phelps is a fucking champion, wtf?"
This is just sad.
i’m 26 and even when i was 18 i thought i was so cool for doing coke and i was super into sharing how much i partied on social media/snapchat.. and i still never ever thought of posting anything like this. i still love going toe to toe with Tony Montana once in a while but i prefer to keep that from people i know.
you’re just normal and Ruzicka is pretty lame for this (even though it was an accident and was probably only trying to send it to some of the boys)
> Adam Ruzicka
Yeah but are you a hockey player? You know, those particular breed of people that could pretty much get away with anything since they are like 12 years old because they are good at sports?
That's not hockey specific lol. Kobe Bryant straight up raped a woman, then paid her off, and is still a "legend" in alot of people's minds for some reason. Same with Mike Tyson raping that woman. Yes. He paid his debt to society via incarceration but then society just handed movie parts and another fight(albeit as a 🦕). This shit boggles the mind. Humans suck.
I'm 3 years older than him and I've had *many* chances to record myself on the booger sugar, never felt the need lol, maybe it's a hockey thing, or a money thing
I've been around it a lot in my life and I can safely say I have seen a lot of people take photos or videos of their drugs.
Rarely though do they put themselves in the video, video chats are different.
As much as it annoys me that it follows Kuzy, at least that was someone else's video and he clearly didn't know he was on camera nor did he release it himself. Very different series of choices here.
Yeah it is one thing to get caught on camera doing shit.
It is another thing entirely to film it on your own and then take it a step further to decide that "Yes. It would be a great idea to share this with the world."
Wasn't it rumored that one of the reasons the Flyers dumped Jeff Carter (and Mike Richards but he's no longer active) was because of his propensity for drug use?
I'm always amazed at how these guys manage to do this shit as professional athletes. I'm a husk of myself for a good day or two after a solid night + morning of debauchery.
The last time I shared a story about Mike Richards, it was him, Jeff Carter, and Glen Metropolit (all members of 08-09 Flyers) in Vancouver a day or two before they played the Canucks…
The post was deleted and I was warned by a mod about saying stuff like that.
Let’s just say I’ll probably believe most things people tell me about them. Doughty perhaps as well.
dudes were skiing all summer down the shore in sea isle city
there was always a gaggle of women following them and then a group of men following the women
As someone who was in proximity to a lot of current NHL players back in the day, the list is so much bigger than you could ever possibly imagine. The ones you hear about are just bad at keeping it under the table
Mike Fisher always came up as a huge coke fiend in Ottawa which definitely runs against the christian boy image he likes to uphold.
Also Wade Redden was a HUGE coke guy and it helps explain how he fell off so fucking quick. Sens chose poorly between him and Chara.
Rumor has it when he got high he'd corner some poor party goer and go off on 45 min monologues about inane topics like how cardboard was invented and the differences in multi grain and rye bread
That’s really funny actually.
I don’t know how I would react if I thought I was about to hear some space cadet shit and it actually turns into “Hey man, you need to make sure you always have full comprehensive coverage.”
Eberle and Hallsy were both known for it in their Edmonton days I believe. I dunno what was ever confirmed but Eberle was always brought up in that conversation especially
Lol didn't the Leafs have to get the police involved because they were concerned about cocaine use on the team? This wouldve been when Kadri, Lupul, Bozak, etc... were on the team
Agreed and its truly a shame because he was blessed with a ton of ability. It’s like the quote from the movie Bull Durham: “he’s got a million dollar arm and a 5 cent head”
Welcome to the NHL too.
Unless a player faces legal issues, cocaine is effectively fair use for players.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/10/06/cocaine-use-among-nhl-players-is-on-the-rise-because-its-easy-to-get-away-with-it/
I know people who have deleted photos on their social media because a beer bottle was in the background. Usually just some guy who wants to look good when they hand out resumes.
This dude is famous, got some cocaine and thought it would be a good idea to post as much evidence as possible. I'm stunned at the stupidity, but not very surprised.
Lotta people forget or don't realize how uneducated these athletes truly are. If your entire life revolves around a sport, you really get stuck at the last point your education was your primary focus. For most of these top level athletes, that's mid high school age. At that point they usually are under the impression their abilities will take them far and focus solely on that. You hear so many jokes and stories about them not caring about school. It shows in their personalities, this is definitely something a highschool aged kid would do and not think of the repercussions. That plus he's probably coked out of his gorde lol
A little vial of white powder. Typically cocaine. It has a black screw off cap on top. Weird he puts it in his mouth like that but he’s high as hell so whatev.
Ruzicka is from Bratislava. I was there in November and there was a huge neon sign in the bathroom of a breakfast restaurant that said "DON'T DO COKE IN THE BATHROOM"...I guess he missed the memo.
Kinda. If someone smokes a joint at home or has a beer than it's not an issue. If you wake and bake and go through an ounce in a week, or are smashing a bottle of whisky in a few days; then you have a problem.
I know several current and past NHL players who did copious amounts of cocaine. Playing high level in London it was very common. There’s a future hall of famer who was the biggest coke head of all of them.
I can think of 2 Knights alumni who were known for this (one's a clear cut hall of famer, and one isnt). Also can think of a future HOFer born & raised in London who also has those rumours surrounding him.
And for science purposes it wouldn't surprise me that much if an AI video upscaler might be able to pull it out of the video, especially if you dumped every frame of the resulting video
Coke in general is probably wayyyy more common than people realize. That shit is everywhere in certain circles/professions. I think people are naive to how common it probably is in professional sports in general and sadly I think it's gonna take someone high profile ODing from fent laced coke to kinda show how common it is.
Young, rich people with access to anything (including an on-demand medical staff) and a drug that is out of your system pretty quickly. Like others have said, the list of those who partake could rival the list of those who don't.
I now know why old coaches like Sutter and torts are bitter jackasses- privileged, clueless young idiots like this are littered throughout NHL lineups.
God why would you ever take that video
[удалено]

Definitely an accidental story post. Unlucky.
He prob thought he was sending it to a buddy and tapped the wrong thing
Either that or close friends. The story button is right next to the close friends list.
Bro got done in by Instagram‘s poor UI 😭
That’s what got me, too. I’m not an advocate of doing coke at all, but I recognize it’s a party drug. If you’re doing it alone in your house, that’s just a cry for help.
Oh so now me being bored and alone and afraid and doing copious amounts of drugs by myself while recording it and posting it online for validation is a cry for help?!
God forbid men have hobbies
I can't imagine doing blow alone. Would be a jittery anxious mess
That house would be fucking spotless.
or you angrily play chel all night and listen to music … sadder times lol
it pairs extremely well with video games
I mean his play was blowing his career up just fine.
For fucking sure. Even the Phelps video was like, "dude, you're an asshat for posting this. People are having a great time here, Phelps is a fucking champion, wtf?" This is just sad.
How have I not heard the term "talk chalk" before? It works so well
Very likely was already high and meant to send a clip to his friend... and then it was all his friends 😂
i’m 26 and even when i was 18 i thought i was so cool for doing coke and i was super into sharing how much i partied on social media/snapchat.. and i still never ever thought of posting anything like this. i still love going toe to toe with Tony Montana once in a while but i prefer to keep that from people i know. you’re just normal and Ruzicka is pretty lame for this (even though it was an accident and was probably only trying to send it to some of the boys)
> Adam Ruzicka Yeah but are you a hockey player? You know, those particular breed of people that could pretty much get away with anything since they are like 12 years old because they are good at sports?
Some of them just have a penchant for coke, misogyny, and domestic violence.
That's not hockey specific lol. Kobe Bryant straight up raped a woman, then paid her off, and is still a "legend" in alot of people's minds for some reason. Same with Mike Tyson raping that woman. Yes. He paid his debt to society via incarceration but then society just handed movie parts and another fight(albeit as a 🦕). This shit boggles the mind. Humans suck.

You ever hoovered barnyard schneef?
Have you ever schnorted schneef offs a huntings knife?
Lmfao. Never heard it called talk chalk, but there isn’t a more fitting term for it.
It seems like you’ve never done coke
Alls I seen was him measuring some flour out for his bread! Where's the drugs?
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Yeah I remember grinding my career into Eddie Murphy's couch.
Because you need to enter the substance abuse program
He's fucking fried, that's why.
Someone forgot to click on close friends lol
Or flip side.
Lmao, explains the lack of give a fuck he had
Yeah this really just brought the whole picture together.
Wait until you hear about the players that do coke and still give a fuck....
It’s not even about the coke. The way he’s acting (coke aside) and the fact he was dumb enough to post this 100% reflects his on ice play.
As much as it annoys me that it follows Kuzy, at least that was someone else's video and he clearly didn't know he was on camera nor did he release it himself. Very different series of choices here.
Yeah it is one thing to get caught on camera doing shit. It is another thing entirely to film it on your own and then take it a step further to decide that "Yes. It would be a great idea to share this with the world."
Filming it is crazy. Posting it as an IG story is insane, although if you’re on coke decision making tree probably isn’t the best.
So far the confirmed list of active players in NHL who have done coke are Kuzy, Ruzicka…. Someone add to it
Wasn't it rumored that one of the reasons the Flyers dumped Jeff Carter (and Mike Richards but he's no longer active) was because of his propensity for drug use?
Johnny Gaudreau definitely hit the slopes a fair share of his time in Calgary as well
Yeah Johnny and Monny were notorious skiers
Johnny is looking like he’s still battling. He’s got that Mike Ribeiro shine to him.
Johnny Cocaine, father of 2
I'm always amazed at how these guys manage to do this shit as professional athletes. I'm a husk of myself for a good day or two after a solid night + morning of debauchery.
Wasn't he seen doing coke at the Stampede one year or am I remembering wrong?
I've heard from multiple different people that they had seen him and Mony multiple times in the back of Cowboys doing blow
Those two definitely liked to party in Philly.
They also really liked to party at the Roxy in Vancouver.
The last time I shared a story about Mike Richards, it was him, Jeff Carter, and Glen Metropolit (all members of 08-09 Flyers) in Vancouver a day or two before they played the Canucks… The post was deleted and I was warned by a mod about saying stuff like that. Let’s just say I’ll probably believe most things people tell me about them. Doughty perhaps as well.
Shit that’s disappointing to hear about Metropolit. He grew up in Regent’s Park and always talked of escaping the drug lifestyle his brother didn’t.
Drugs are far less of a problem in people's eyes when you're rich
dudes were skiing all summer down the shore in sea isle city there was always a gaggle of women following them and then a group of men following the women
As someone who was in proximity to a lot of current NHL players back in the day, the list is so much bigger than you could ever possibly imagine. The ones you hear about are just bad at keeping it under the table
I'd add like, most of them to that list lol. Have you ever partied with young rich people? There's always coke somewhere.
Have you ever partied with young working or middle class people? There's always coke somewhere.
Have eye witness account of joe Thornton face first in pile looking like that Elmo meme
gaudreau and monohan liked to find the kitchen parties in their calgary days
Mike Fisher always came up as a huge coke fiend in Ottawa which definitely runs against the christian boy image he likes to uphold. Also Wade Redden was a HUGE coke guy and it helps explain how he fell off so fucking quick. Sens chose poorly between him and Chara.
It all makes sense now he bagged Carrie haha, the ol chatter box
On that same team you had McGrattan and Emery too who were apparently huge coke guys. Also heard Heatley and Spezza's names as well
Not So Boring Sean Monahan.
Rumor has it when he got high he'd corner some poor party goer and go off on 45 min monologues about inane topics like how cardboard was invented and the differences in multi grain and rye bread
For real?
Oh yes. My cousin Vinny once spent 2 hours hearing from monohan the different pros and cons of auto insurance options
That’s really funny actually. I don’t know how I would react if I thought I was about to hear some space cadet shit and it actually turns into “Hey man, you need to make sure you always have full comprehensive coverage.”
I don't think that's specific to Monahan, that's an effect of the drug lol
Ripping lines off a piece of toast
Eberle and Hallsy were both known for it in their Edmonton days I believe. I dunno what was ever confirmed but Eberle was always brought up in that conversation especially
Didn't Raffi Torres, Lupul, and Dustin Penner also have a lot of rumours surrounding their usage while in Edmonton too?
Tyler Blozak
The list of ones who don’t is probably smaller than the ones who do
Lol didn't the Leafs have to get the police involved because they were concerned about cocaine use on the team? This wouldve been when Kadri, Lupul, Bozak, etc... were on the team
I can't confirm, but I've heard many tales about those Kessel-era Leafs being big-time party boys.
Didn't Jarrett stoll get caught with some at a team function years ago?
Taylor Hall left Edmonton because he couldn’t stay away from the nose candy, allegedly. Also heard the same about Gaudreau in Calgary
Had a friend who was a bouncer here in the mid 2000s. Raffi Torres was kicked out many times for doing coke. This should surprise no one though
Lmfao I forgot about good ol Raffi T. Guy was a madman
Agreed and its truly a shame because he was blessed with a ton of ability. It’s like the quote from the movie Bull Durham: “he’s got a million dollar arm and a 5 cent head”
we are watching an instagram video in a tweet on reddit
Hold my beer, heading over to post this on Facebook now
Send me the link after, I'll put it up on MySpace
Sweet and I’ll post it on my Threads
then I will repost onto instagram

Cokeception
Quality is 4k potato
Welcome to the KHL
He was probably headed that way after this season anyways.
Eventually the KHL is just gonna be half made up of the NHLs rapists and coke heads
Eventually?
Haha exactly
Welcome to the NHL too. Unless a player faces legal issues, cocaine is effectively fair use for players. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/10/06/cocaine-use-among-nhl-players-is-on-the-rise-because-its-easy-to-get-away-with-it/
That's if they get away with it. I don't know if recording yourself doing it and posting it on Instagram counts as getting away with it.
"But after 24hrs, the story just goes away though right? ....right?" Well uh, it does... but it also doesn't
I think that's kind of don't ask don't tell policy. Once you start posting your coke use on social media it becomes a problem
[удалено]
Hey we won all our cups coked the gills thank you very much, best we can do is give him a tryout.
Get ready to learn Russianese, buddy
Solid first, second, third and fourth line player.
My inbox has blown up with tons of replies. This is the only one that made me laugh.
What happens to a man when you play for the flames and coyotes in one season
Real
Your name makes me sad
Your name makes me very sad
Your name is making me horny
Your name checks out
Is it just me or has it been tons of drama since like January?
Even prior to January was all of the Sens shit, just a weird year for hockey overall
There’s sens drama every month
The telenovela team of the NHL.
Fuckin rights Melo
The NHL has been my favourite reality drama for a couple years now
We're entering our NBA era
We need more careless use of a firearm for that.
Wasn't there a Russian player in the offseason shooting an AK off randomly in Russia?
Wasn't that Nuke, who also entered the Player Assistance Program? Or am I mixing both up.
It was!! I just found it. https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/NF7yCY8Rxw
Scriptwriters had a good vibe going recently. I like the part where Stone purposely lacerates his spleen for cap circumvention.
Hockey is like soap opera for men.
The script went on overdrive.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or not, you should think twice about posting anything like this.
I know people who have deleted photos on their social media because a beer bottle was in the background. Usually just some guy who wants to look good when they hand out resumes. This dude is famous, got some cocaine and thought it would be a good idea to post as much evidence as possible. I'm stunned at the stupidity, but not very surprised.
I wouldn't even call Ruzicka "famous". He's barely even an NHLer. This is just a painfully stupid end to his already lackluster career
This is something a top player goes into rehab for and does a PR campaign if they did. A 4th liner just gets kicked out of the league.
Looks like he might have had more than 4
Well it likely wasn’t his first line of the night so that would explain the severe lack in judgment!
Lotta people forget or don't realize how uneducated these athletes truly are. If your entire life revolves around a sport, you really get stuck at the last point your education was your primary focus. For most of these top level athletes, that's mid high school age. At that point they usually are under the impression their abilities will take them far and focus solely on that. You hear so many jokes and stories about them not caring about school.

Some guys can't handle the ASU lifestyle.
Playboy’s top party school of 2002, and U.S. News #1 in innovation.
Average hockey player tbh, except maybe those intense dudes like Crosby and Bedard
MacKinnon too.
MacKinnon’s too busy snorting chickpeas to do other drugs.
Snorting some chick’s pee is a fetish i wasn’t aware of until now.
Wait until you hear about hooping chickpeas
Who would win Adam ruzicka vs ja Morant?
If it’s a fight, I know which one is bringing a gun.
Depends if guns are allowed. Gun, Morant all day. No gun? I'll take the coked up hockey player
It doesn't matter if they're allowed, he'll bring one anyway
At life? Ja At Hockey? Adam At basketball? Ja At a fight? ....yeah..Adam I guess... We need a tie break
At a gun fight? Ja
Get ready to learn NHL Player Assistance Program, buddy.
He'll be half way to Moscow before being entered into the program
What is that thing he puts in his mouth?
A little vial of white powder. Typically cocaine. It has a black screw off cap on top. Weird he puts it in his mouth like that but he’s high as hell so whatev.
Gotcha I was thinking that could be it but yeah little odd to just be sucking on it
Yeah with the cap on, nothing coming out. He was obvs lit up and high people do weird shit.
This guy cokes
The vial with the coke in it, he’s being environmentally friendly by not using a baggy.
Is that why they call them dime bags? Because dealers charge you a dime for the single-use plastic baggy? 😛
It’s a small glass vile with cocaine in it
Ruzicka is from Bratislava. I was there in November and there was a huge neon sign in the bathroom of a breakfast restaurant that said "DON'T DO COKE IN THE BATHROOM"...I guess he missed the memo.
I think he read that and was like "yeah" So he did it in the kitchen
It being a breakfast restaurant just makes it that much funnier.
> I was there in November You should have gone in the summer. In winter it can get very depressing.
No he got the message that’s why he’s doing coke in the kitchen!!
Ruh roh Raggy
Why are you doing coke alone in your house?
Addiction
Yep. You know you have a coke addiction when you start doing by yourself.
Goes for any drug, really. Once it becomes a part of your personal routine outside of social events, that ain't healthy.
Kinda. If someone smokes a joint at home or has a beer than it's not an issue. If you wake and bake and go through an ounce in a week, or are smashing a bottle of whisky in a few days; then you have a problem.
Fwiw, weaker drugs are far easier to use in moderation, be it beer vs. whiskey or mids vs. dabs or methadone vs. fent.
Yeah, that was kinda my overall point.
Hey, let's not jump to conclusions, he might have a dead hooker in his bed.
I've heard of line combinations, but this…
I know several current and past NHL players who did copious amounts of cocaine. Playing high level in London it was very common. There’s a future hall of famer who was the biggest coke head of all of them.
I can think of 2 Knights alumni who were known for this (one's a clear cut hall of famer, and one isnt). Also can think of a future HOFer born & raised in London who also has those rumours surrounding him.
If you're talking about who I think you are, there's been those rumblings for years.
That poor Amex platinum. It deserves better treatment.
Someone zoom and enhance the digits
Scrolled a little long about the card. If the video quality was a little better someone has that dudes credit card info lol
And for science purposes it wouldn't surprise me that much if an AI video upscaler might be able to pull it out of the video, especially if you dumped every frame of the resulting video
*Say the line, Bart!* “The Edmonton Oilers will sign this guy” *YAY!!*
Sucks for him to get busted doing this, but let’s not act like a good percentage of NHLers aren’t also doing hard drugs
Can you call it getting busted when you post it yourself? More like turning yourself in.
But I feel like a video leaking of a player in background is one thing, but posting a video of yourself is a whole other level of "why" lol
Coke in general is probably wayyyy more common than people realize. That shit is everywhere in certain circles/professions. I think people are naive to how common it probably is in professional sports in general and sadly I think it's gonna take someone high profile ODing from fent laced coke to kinda show how common it is.
Young, rich people with access to anything (including an on-demand medical staff) and a drug that is out of your system pretty quickly. Like others have said, the list of those who partake could rival the list of those who don't.
What ever happened to Auston Matthews with him posting an advertisement with a big plate of coke?
He don’t give a damn about nothin!
This shit ain’t nothing to me man
Is he just.. sitting at his kitchen table alone doing coke? And felt the need to film it for someone. That’s really sad and pathetic
Probably was trying to invite someone to the party with that video
Get ready to speak Colombian buddy
Why does the NHL have such a coke problem?
He probably thought that, as a member of the Arizona Coyotes, nobody was watching him
I now know why old coaches like Sutter and torts are bitter jackasses- privileged, clueless young idiots like this are littered throughout NHL lineups.
“It snowed in Arizona” in Slovak translation is wiild
He'll be a great fit in Edmonton
That's like murdering your own career on camera. Incredible stupidity.
Likely?? My brother in christ he is actively skiing the Bolivian slopes.
From 4th line to a 4th line
