Martin Erat crashes DUI, sped away from the scene.

[vipera1960]

Everyone knows the rich guy in a small town

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

 

[Kegs]

Imagine being wealthy and not spending $15 on an uber?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

The only difference between him and the guy who ran over the Gaudreau's is luck.

 

[Legionnaire11]

The worst part is that he runs a youth hockey program there, this is a horrible example for the kids.

 

[luiginb]

Yeah I'd have trouble picking him out of a crowd

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

What a cowardly POS

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't want this piece of shit to get help, I don't feel bad for him, I want him thrown in prison where he belongs.

If you are stupid enough to get drunk or high and get behind the wheel you don't need help, you need to be locked away in prison so that the rest of society doesn't have to deal with you.

If I had the money he's made in his career I'd never drive anywhere again I'd have a Limousine and a driver.

but no he's got to be a piece of shit.

Throw his ass in prison
.

 

[Primary Assist]

One of his union brothers was senselessly killed by a drunk driver not even a year ago. I know the polite thing to say is "I hope he gets the help he needs" or something, but come on. The only help he needs is a suspended license and some possible jail time.

 

[Number8]

Hopefully he gets some help.

Agreed, it would be safer for all if he did. In the meantime, I hope he gets absolutely smashed by the justice system first. Selfish prick -- and I'm 34 years sober myself with good reason.

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

The witness was a 30k HF poster

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

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

The Gomez trade certainly robbed my of my will to live

I shouldn't have laughed at this. But I laughed hard! I got looks from the cubicles near me.

This ^^^
It’s the southern USA. Zero chance anyone even knows who Eratt is.

 

[yeaher]

He'd get a monument if he was on a bike...

Even you apparently

 

[dirtydanglez]

luckily for him it sounds like only property damage

Exactly. Erat wouldn’t be recognized on the streets of Toronto. Zero chance he’s identified by random people, while behind tinted glass, driving in the US.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

I thought those Teslas were supposed to be able to drive themselves? I guess they're still working out the kinks......

 

[AvroArrow]

tough 1, feel bad for the guy

Why ? He's an idiot who decided to get drunk and get behind the wheel. He should be locked up, could've killed someone.

 

[Mr Kot]

Luckily no one was hurt. I think people don't realize how much heavier EV's are than regular vehicles. They can turn into wrecking balls very easily.

You still need to keep a hand on the wheel. And moving it would disengage autopilot. Considering he was drunk, he could’ve easily done that.

The witness was a 30k HF poster

Somehow I have 44k posts and I wouldn’t have recognized him.

Filip Forsberg always Ubers

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

What's worse:

His DUI crash
or
His turnover in Game 5 against Chicago in 2010?

His 2 Goals on 106 shots as a Capital.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Hope they throw the book at him.

I assume it just means they reported his license plate which led to him.
