Wonder who the other player was? Naz, Lewis, Looch, Stone, Ritchie, Gudbranson?

It could be anybody or everybody. Russians are very direct and they don't mince too many words. With a guy like Z, he is very very direct and hockey is more of the button down sport.
He made a lot of comments regarding the Russian war in Ukraine but he also lives in Florida and doesn't plan on going back to Russia anytime soon.
He took part in the Flames Pride jersey night and called out the team earlier this season when they were playing like crap. He has called out Nathan Mackinnon in a joking way about his diet and fitness extremes and more. He considers himself the best dressed player in the NHL and has no problem in essence telling others they are white trash wearing sneakers with suits.
I can see after a few drinks and comments all the above guys would want to actually go with him. I love the guy's passion and confidence and am happy he was a solid Flame in his time here.
