The source said airport workers were called to clean up vomit in the airport's bathrooms.
"They were definitely intoxicated, that's for sure," Hall said. "They were so drunk they had to carry a couple of the guys onto the bus."
Hall said the ride to the airport was raucous, with Russian players honking the bus horn. He said after unloading the team's equipment at the airport around 4 a.m., he had to wait around because one of the players had difficulty leaving the bus.
"I was glad to get rid of them," Hall said.
How dumb this all seems..you can serve your country and die at 17 years old, but god forbid you have a drink before your 21. Growing up in south wales dad every once in a while gave us a little beer. But look how big we have become that we can throw some one off a plan cause they appear to be drunk, or even are drunk. What were they going to do, take over the plane? What were the pilots jealous that they could not be drunk? Way to go buffalo.

As the rebellion spread, Aeroflot representatives boarded the aircraft to try to calm down the 300 passengers.
One sought to reassure them by announcing that it was "not such a big deal" if the pilot was drunk because the aircraft practically flew itself.
Mr Cheplevsky did little to ease passengers' fears by refusing to leave the cockpit to show that he was sober. When he was finally persuaded to face them, witnesses said that he appeared unsteady on his feet and had bloodshot eyes.
"I don't think there's anyone in Russia who doesn't know what a drunk person looks like," Katya Kushner, one of the passengers, told the Moscow Times, which had a reporter travelling on the flight.
"At first, he was looking at us like we were crazy. Then, when we wouldn't back down, he said 'I'll sit here quietly in a corner. We have three more pilots. I won't even touch the controls, I promise'."
Wait... underage hockey players drinking in Buffalo...
Did someone make sure all of the cab drivers are ok?
If these where Canadians drinking, everyone would be like OMG. Classless Canucks.
Its tottaly expected though. The American and the Canadians if they won would've drank aswell.
The Americans should really lower their drinking age. 21 is much too high.

At least the Russians were classy enough to drink in private.
Actually, their entire coaching staff drank on the ice.
They deserved to enjoy the win. However, these things can look bad to people on the outside.
and none of our girls puked. But really a 6am flight after a gold medal win was probably no a good idea for who ever was booking flights for the Russian team.
I'd be willing to bet a few did.and none of our girls puked. But really a 6am flight after a gold medal win was probably no a good idea for who ever was booking flights for the Russian team.
should've booked a different plane for sure
I wanna know how many bottles of vodka were consumed .
Your preachin to the choir buddy. Even being over 21 I still think its to high. 19 is the Age I think it should be.
