Wasnt big Buff arrested a couple seasons ago for drunk driving his boat? I don't think they did anything with him.

The issue is that the NHL has gotten super tough on players as of lately, a couple years ago this would have slid by, but i'm not so sure about this now. With all the trouble out in La, and more and more players misbehaving, I think the NHL will unfortunately take action and try to stop the players in this league from behaving like players in the NFL or NBA.

I'm in no way out to trivialize a serious infraction but I don't think I can put up with 3 months of wgr and tbn going on their moral high ground wanting ROR burned at the stake. The public embarrassment will be plenty. But it won't be driven home until Bucky or Sully tell us that he must be released

Good for you. I don't care. Want to see the team win and it's his first offense.

You do realize there won't be much more winning next season...right?

Over 80 mg

Over 0.08 is an automatic:
90 day license suspension
$180 administrative monetary penalty
7 day vehicle impoundment

If convicted of impaired driving (first offence):
Mandatory alcohol education or treatment program
1 year min requirement to drive a car equipped with an ignition interlock device
No minimum jail sentence
$1000 fine
License suspended for 1 year

Not sure how fleeing the scene would change this or what charges/penalties would be added.

Also not sure if he was convicted of this or other charges, how it could affect his passport and crossing the border.

This makes much more sense than just a 3 day license suspension.

Pessimism is a choice. Good luck with it

Seriously this is the most Canadian thing possible. Drunk driving and hitting a Tim Hortons. In Canada a DUI is only a 3 day suspension of his license plus a find, him leaving the scene is bad though.

False. 80mg is the legal limit. 50-79mg is a 3 day. 80 and above is a full dui. Use to be 1 year suspension and then ignition blow device for another year. Now I think a first timer is 6 month suspension and 3 month blow device. The fact that he plowed into a tim hortons makes me think he may just be a tad over the 80mg.

Thanks for the info. As for border crossing problem I doubt he will have any. He has that Pegula money now to buy a lawyer to wipe any felony(if there is one) off his record.

I would argue im a realist. The article on ESPN said the moves this offseason would give them 4 or 5 more wins. Let's double that and it's still only 15 to 20 more points in the standings....still in the bottom 3rd of the league....

I don't think we will be making the playoffs either, but really dude? ESPN is a hockey source to you?

and all of these guys saying he's gonna get jail time is hilarious. I had a buddy rear end someone when they were both driving down the highway. After they got out and the other person realized my friend that hit them was hammered, they said they were calling the cops. He shrugged his shoulders, left his car on the side of the road and started the 10km walk home. After an hour, the cops found him walking the side of the road and he matched the description of the suspect in the fender bender. He was taken back for a sobriety test 3 hrs after the fact and blew a 160mg. He didn't get anymore punishment for walking away from the scene ala orielly.

He's already contacted an attorney.

Pretty ironic... Don't you think?

ROR and Tim Horton.

Yep, great article. You should give it a read.

Bet they said the same crap about the Flames and Senators..

he should get the book thrown At him i don't care if he's on our team

He should be suspended. Driving drunk is not cool.
- Cheeseballin

Agreed. This guy just signed a huge contract and he is too stupid to get a car service or a hooker to drive him home?!? I hope this is not a sign of things to come..

Could spin it and say that because of his BAC his judgement was compromised
- Sabresfan-365

Sadly for RoR that's not really a defense that will hold up in any court...

Pretty ironic... Don't you think?

ROR and Tim Horton.

Maybe he can work at Timmy Ho's in Buffalo for a few weeks this summer with proceeds going to a charity of there choice and they drop the charges...

You and Sully and Bucky should all hang out. Give me a break. People make mistakes no one was hurt. I don't care.

Doubtful. An eye opener from him. We'll all forget about it in a few weeks and those wanting to burn him at the steak will be back to kissing his butt in no time
