Martin Erat crashes DUI, sped away from the scene.

[Rodgerwilco]

I have this theory on HF...

When it's a Euro doing it, it gets villified much faster
When its a Euro that was part of a bad trade, it gets blown up!

Having said that.. here is what Erat has said



And I'm 100% positive this statement will get shredded... mostly because it sounds like absolute bullshit.lol

I'll wait for more info but this all sounds really bad.

He's one step away from the "I just used mouthwash" defense that my friend tried in college lol. Didn't work too well.

If the roads in Nashville are anything like the roads in Pittsburgh you wouldn't even need to crash to destroy your vehicle lol.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I might believe such a story if he didn't flee the scene of an accident.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

But did the white Cadillac have a higher BAC than Erat?

Yea if he is gonna say some bs lie about what happened, at least go all in with it. In this case he could have said "I had the self-drive feature on but it just went crazy and started driving towards other cars and mailboxes. Im relieved no one got hurt. Btw Im suing Elon Musk for 20 million dollars due to the trauma I endured from the malfunction of the car".

 

[Bruce Granville]

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

This.
Unless he was wearing his jersey, a helmet and skates…

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Its no worse than O'Reilly's Tim Hortons smash up except Erat was positively identified

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

What a f***ing bananahead.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Can we have flip Forsberg back?

 

[Wolfpuck]

What a dope. Thank goodness he didn’t hurt anyone.

 

[Mike C]

Its no worse than O'Reilly's Tim Hortons smash up except Erat was positively identified

How does that saying go about the two wrongs and a right??

Jon Jones-esque in both his excuse making and his leaving the scene of an accident

 

[Dirty Dog]

ROR: “Hey Erat, stop stealing my moves!”

 

[2CHAINZ]

This confirms it for me. Nashville won the Erat trade.

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
.

Ever hear of Craig McTavish? Think he did like 12 months if memory is correct.NHL forgave him and he killed a lady drunk driving.

Didn't know that, if that's true f*** him too.

 

[McGarnagle]

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

 

[Oddbob]

Hopefully he gets some help.

By help, I hope you mean prison time. Just because he got lucky and didn't kill anyone, doesn't excuse that he could have with drunk driving.

Maybe he wants him to get help so he doesn't kill anyone...?

 

[Oddbob]

Fine, but he can get help with jail time as well. I don't think anyone drunk driving should go unpunished. Just because people get lucky and get home safe, doesn't mean much, as all it takes is one mistake and many peoples lives can be ruined, because some idiot had to go have drinks and then drive afterwards.

 

[catnip]

Look at us being all cutesy and making jokes when a hockey player is driving drunk instead of being mowed down by someone driving drunk.

Like, who here hasn't, eh?

 

[Seattle Totems]

How about just not being a dumbass?

Do people offer condolences to people who are not rich celebrities in situations like this?

Erat literally could have texted anyone to pick him up, opened an app, or voluntarily had his car towed. A normal working person might have all kinds of considerations and things to deal with, with fewer resources. Not sorry for the guy.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I'll say this, two things...

1. I feel for Erat. I really, really do. He's got some shit to sort out.
2. He must face the law. No excuses. The law is the law.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

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

Obsessed with alcohol some people are, shit looked like team USA was drunk as shit when out with Pops Gadreau who also looked drunk as shit, like what is wrong with these people.

Edgy

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

What's worse:

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

i love how people can remember this one play from 15 yrs ago
