Lawsuits & Legal Matters

I can't find an article that puts the NHL in the suit. I was listening to a talking head on the sports station mentioning it.

Evander Kane?s trespassing, harassment charges dropped ...

 

isport.blesk.cz – The wild flight of ice hockey player Ji?í Hudler (33) is getting another shocking contour. According to the information, the police told one of the crew members a statement. Former representative allegedly threatened to kill him on board!

…Toward the up-and-coming Hudler, one of his colleagues called the steward to the class business. “She said she was afraid of this passenger, so I took the cabin driver,” he writes in a statement. All efforts to calm the situation were in vain. From the crew, the hockey player had to ask for coke in English. “We thought he wanted to drink, so we poured him a glass of wheat, but he said he wanted the coke as a white powder, and he emphasized the English word” cocaine “,” he told the police a crew member who immediately dismissed his request, that it is not possible to consume drugs on board…
“Mr. Hudler turned to me and said that when we arrived in Prague he would have to call his friends,” the steward told him. “I did not understand him, so I asked him what he meant, and he was going to let me kill,” he added. This is what the hockey player once said again…
…Hudler himself, however, has tried to break down the case. “Nothing happened, it was a sketch. It does not sound normal when we talk about it now. But there was no overthrow,” Hudler told Blesk.

This seems like it couldve gone a few different ways and im not necessarily saying that Hudler is guilty of anything, but this story is so good I hope its true.

 

the cbs version of Hudler's story had 1 more component to it .... he wanted to pee on the food cart ! So he orders some coke and gets a soda, threatens to kill that person and then wants to pee on the food cart. gotta be some kind of hat trick of idiocy there.

 

Ive been a coke head and a crack head, but I never pee'd on a food cart on an airplane. I gotta live some and get out of the house!!!

 

Remember this thread, well, not sure anyone will care about this one. Richard Panik arrested in phoenix for trespassing.

 

Drunk and refusing to leave the entrance of a restaurant in scottsdale, he's currently on the yotes.

 

That's interesting, Skinny. I thought Panik was in Detroit!!!!1111!!!!

 

He played the first half last year in chicago, then the last 35 games in phoenix.

 

lol... that was a spoof on Bowie's "Panic in Detroit"... I couldn't resist!

Boynton, Carcillo sue NHL over head injuries, brain damage

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Former NHL players Daniel Carcillo and Nick Boynton are suing the league, alleging it failed to warn players about the long-term risk of brain damage from fighting.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota says Boynton and Carcillo continued to play hockey despite head injuries. They now both suffer from long-term, degenerative brain damage.

Carcillo, a forward whose nickname was “Car Bomb” for his penchant for delivering hard hits, skated for five NHL teams over nine seasons. He won a Stanley Cup in 2013 with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Boynton, a defenseman who totaled 862 penalty minutes over 605 career NHL games, skated for six teams over 12 years.

Dozens of former players are already part of a similar lawsuit in federal court in Minnesota.

 

Rumor has it that former Kings defenseman/scum bag extraordinaire Slava Voynov petitioned successfully to have his 2015 domestic assault charges dismissed. Not sure if that puts him any closer to playing in the NHL but it’s unfortunate for mankind.

Voynov can play again in the NHL again, the Kings don't want him. I think he would do well in Ursk.
