How can you say that? Clearly Frost abusing Danton, either physically or mentally, had a lot to do with it. No one is excusing Danton, but Frost brought this on himself by being a terrible person.

It took 9 pages to mention Kevin Stevens. He got himself into a pretty sticky situation by going to a crack house in East St. Louis after a game against the Blues. I heard him discuss it on a podcast where he said that the receptionist saved him because it appeared the unsavory people were gonna rob him or worse.

What crack house has a receptionist! ;o)

Ten pages in and no one has mentioned Eddie $1 Billion Bribe Belfour?

Lol, good catch. I believe it was a crack hotel not a crack house. I actually found the link to the story:

Before Galchenyuk took it to a whole new level, right?

Auston Matthews and his gang waylaid, bullied and sexually harassed a black woman. After arrest he threw enough money at the problem until it went away.

Just out of my curiosity, how do we feel NHL hockey players compare to MLB, NFL, and NBA players in terms of criminal prosecutions? I have no idea, so I'm curious if anyone has any stats or information.

It's generally said that the fans of pro-hockey are a more well-educated, middle-class type of audience compared to other professional sports' fans, but I don't know that that would reflect on the players themselves (traditionally, hockey players were poor, working-class scrubs from farms and small-towns... of course, that has changed today).

Most (?) NBA players go through college before entering the pros, which presumably is good for their transition into being million-dollar young men. Few hockey players do this.

And MLB players are usually older -- 20, 21 at least -- before entering the majors.

Not really. Much like CHL stars, they re treated like Gods in the town/city they play in. They only go to college because they have to be a year removed from high school to be eligible for the NBA draft, very few actually go to class.

Sir, this is East St. Louis. We're professionals.

Did anyone mention Giroux dry humping a police officer yet?

 

[Strangelove]

Just when I thought Cote couldn't get any cooler

Yes, he was what we used to call a BAMF.

Is Dupo considered part of ESL?

I would imagine that Kevin Steven's would stick out like a sore thumb in ESL!

Dany Heatley was responsible for killing teammate Dan Snyder in a reckless accident in which he was under the influence of alcohol. He was sentenced to 3 years probation for homicide for killing the man with his reckless behavior.

The NHL and Atlanta Thrashers shamelessly supported him, and the victim's family apparently asked for him to not be imprisoned. (I don't know why in God's green earth that mattered).

Heatley disgustingly played 14 professional hockey seasons and earned over $50 million dollars in contract earnings after committing vehicular homicide on his former teammate.

But he scored 50 in 07 though

If you Google "spreadsheet of NHL players charged" you'll find a reddit post where someone went through and listed all the times an NHL player, or a group of them were charged going back to the late 70s/early 80s. Not sure if it's been updated with more recent stuff.

Not sure if its the first in nhl history but when Bill Barilko disappeared must have been a crazy story at the times.

Dupo is just south. It's more of a methy industrial vibe.

The bolded is a very descriptive and from my memory - appropriate description. Was there in the "pre-meth" days, so can only imagine it now.

I'm pretty the subject of the Netflix documentary Don't F*** With Cats, Luka Magnotta, made youtube videos about hockey players before he murdered Jun Lin in a snuff film and mailed parts of Lin's body to various places in Canada.

Ray bourque was charged with dui a few years ago after a crash.

Should've told the police..."I'm Gary Bettman".

For most NBA players attending college is primarily about balling and not acedemics. Normal rules typically don't apply to this level of player which establish a dangerous precedent for life.

Look at NFL players who pretty much all go to “college”.

Apparently he made a few posts on this board as well!

Weren’t there a couple of Canadiens players rumored to be tied to someone from organized crime in Russia years ago? Google is vague as to what happened with that.
