The decline of the Columbus Blue Jackets can be seen in the use of the stands.
Elvis Merzlikins wife has to hear some really tasteless comments in the audience. PDO
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins wife Aleksandra Merzlikins said on Saturday in the Stories section of her Instagram account that she had received really disturbed comments after watching her husband’s game on Friday night.
– Last night I heard “you, your child and your husband should die”, “you and your husband are trash”, while at the same time when he was playing well I heard “you are great”, “we love you” and “can we get a picture?”, Merzlikins illustrates the differences in the behavior of Blue Jackets fans according to the team’s record.
In her article, the woman says that she no longer dares to bring the couple’s one-year-old child into the stands because of the fans’ behavior.
He also took a stand on the rumors he heard that the Latvian goalkeeper’s mental health was shaken.
– For your information, my husband has no mental problems. But just keep hitting until the beast gets off the beast. Happy Halloween everyone.
Elvis Merzlikins has said that he is deeply upset by his former teammate and countryman Matiss Kivlenieks of death in the second summer. Kivlenieks lost his life in an accident on American Independence Day when he was hit in the chest by a firework.
The man lived with the Merzlikins for a long time after arriving in North America and became very close to the family.
– It’s enough to be lazy, to point accusing fingers, to wish evil and death to others. A quick reminder that we experienced a tragedy last year, so you should think twice before saying anything, Aleksandra Merzlikins writes.
Bad start
Jarmo Kekäläinen led by the club reacted to the attention-grabbing message with a short announcement, in which it stated that no one should experience behavior like the one shown in the stands.
– Columbus Blue Jackets strongly condemns this and is investigating the incident, the club announced.
In Friday’s match mentioned by Merzlikins, the Blue Jackets suffered a 0-4 loss. Next, the season of the club, which travels to Finland, got even darker on Sunday, when it suffered a 1-7 defeat as a guest of the New Jersey Devils. The Blue Jackets have lost no less than seven of the first ten matches of the season.
