NHL | Erat v problémech. Boural pod vlivem alkoholu, opustil místo nehody - Sport.cz

V historických statistikách hokejového Nashvillu se Martin Erat drží v top 5 odehraných zápasů (723), bodů (481), gólů (163) i asistencí (318). První únorový víkend ale 43letý bývalý útočník Predators své pověsti v Tennessee moc nepřidal. Byl totiž zatčen a čelí několika obviněním, včetně řízení...

Have to do some translating..

Around 3 p.m. Saturday, police in Nolensville, about 35 miles from Nashville, took several calls about reckless driving by the driver of a blue Tesla. Officers called in didn't find the car, but about a half hour later another call came in: the incriminated Tesla had collided with a white Cadillac in a nearby neighborhood. And the same car crashed into a mailbox in nearby Brentwood a short time later.

No one was hurt, but the driver sped away from the scene. "However, there were several witness statements that indicated that Martin Erat was the driver of the blue Tesla," an intervening police officer told the media. No one was injured in the accident.

I’m not sure what’s a bigger atrocity : This act or the fact he got traded for Filip Forsberg .

Once an E-rat always an E-rat.

tough 1, feel bad for the guy

 

[Bounces R Way]

Thought all the Musk Mobiles were doing the self driving thing. Seems extra stupid to mow down a mailbox when you can turn that on.

 

[Akrapovince]

Hope he finds the help he needs, because he must seriously be going through something to consider making this decision after hearing news of what his actions had the potential to do firsthand through colleagues in his field.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Guess he decided he didn't want his final legacy and greatest embarrassment to be that he was the guy who Filip Forsberg was traded for lmao.

Considering a trade doesn't have the chance to kill someone I would say this act.

I'm highly skeptical because who the f*** can identify Martin Erat???? Like how locked in do you gotta be to know that he's Martin Erat

How about just not being a dumbass?

Martin Erat could walk up to me and say “Hello, I am Martin Erat” and I’d be like

 

[luiginb]

That's a shame. I used to like Erat but now I'll never get over the fact he drives a Tesla

 

[Honour Over Glory]

He's lucky his stupidity didn't hurt or kill someone because his dipshit ego wouldn't let him call a f***ing cab.

 

[cjm502]

He is in his wolf of wall street arc

It ain't that small. You can't tell where Nashville ends and Nolensville begins anymore.

I've been a Nashville fan from the start and I'm not even sure if I could recognize him if he weren't in hockey gear

 

[Reality Czech]

I think now we can finally admit the Preds won that trade

Easily confirmable through cursory internet search [Martin Erat -> News]: found on multiple NA Media sources.

Biggest relief- no one was hurt (this time).

Like anyone else with a soul, I hope this defines "bottom" for the guy- and that he climbs out of the pit... recommitting to clean living each day.

What's more important?!

I have few words, and even less time, for those who are attempting to insert politics into this near-tragedy.

It’s not a small town. It’s a Nashville suburb with low population density (I.e. everyone is the rich guy).
