Like many others, it appears Kochetkov forgot the extent of his public visibility, particularly as a well-known figure with a significant fan base.
The controversy ignited when a Twitter user posted a screenshot that highlighted Kochetkov's recent activity, notably his "like" on an adult video. The tweet showcasing this unexpected revelation can be seen here:
Despite the embarrassing situation, it remains doubtful if there will be any professional repercussions for the player, given that the act is legally permissible. Nonetheless, this incident serves as a clear reminder to people who possess even the smallest fanbase, to be more prudent with what they share on the internet.
Despite this being an incredibly embarrassing incident for Kochetkov, it shouldn't diminish his existing achievements in the NHL, and it shouldn't cause us to neglect the potential he holds.
