Uhoh.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Dang, offseason distractions

 

[Ban Hammered]

Updated now...BAC .30 and son was in the car.
Uh, oh

 

[TaLoN]

I don't know if his employment will survive this.

 

[Ban Hammered]

I don't know if his employment will survive this.

It shouldn't IMO.
On his way to his son's hockey game...it was 5:15 in the afternoon and a BAC nearly 4 times the legal limit?
I wouldn't survive that at my job, he shouldn't either.

 

[Avder]

Point THREE?

Oh my god.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

Yea I looked at Sydor's picture and thought, he's not that drunk...

then I saw the 0.3 Wow

 

[NHL1674]

He's fried. Replace him with Walz.

 

[NHL1674]

And he remains in jail too. Damn.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That's either a hell of a night before or a college-level day drinking session.

 

[keppel146]

wow. did he do the pk or the pp?

I guess the guy is a recovering alcoholic. public news he announced earlier sometime?

 

[W75]

****. He shouldn't coach anymore. One of the dumbest thing you can do. Luckily no one died or got injured. This time.

 

[gphr513]

He was driving with his SON in the car and he was 0.3???

Fire him right now.

 

[Swervin81]

He couldn't have just gotten an himself and his son an Uber ride to the game? That irresponsible?

 

[Avder]

Wonder how long until the Wild issue a statement.

 

[W75]

Drinking can be a sickness. But driving is always a decision.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Wonder how long until the Wild issue a statement.

They released a generic "we are aware" blah blah blah one and I doubt they will have much more to say for the time being.
He was supposed to be in court for his first appearance this afternoon.

per ESPN

Welp we can waive goodbye to him then? Not just for the DUI but also for driving his son while being drunk.

 

[TheSauceBoss]

I don't see anyway ownership can justify keeping him on payroll after such an idiotic life decision. Good riddance.

 

[AKL]

.3?!

In the middle of the afternoon, when you have to drive your 12 year old son to a hockey game.

WTF.

 

[Kari Takko]

Dumb decision.

From what Russo was saying on KFAN, Sydor has wrestled with a drinking problem and made it through last season without relapse. I don't know what happened to knock him off the rails, but I hope he's able to get back on.

That said, he's human and made a very dangerous decision. It doesn't look good now, but depending on how he handles things, this could be a very good opportunity for him to help the many NHLers that struggle with booze.

P.S. There's a lot of judgement on a message board with a "What are you drinking" thread.

 

[123TripleDoge]

inb4joke about wild getting rekt for a third year a row by the hawks leading to his problem

anywho, i have no idea about .0 limits etc etc.

Seriously?

His BAC was 0.3, and he DROVE HIS SON in the car. That just pisses me off.

If he really can't control himself to the point where he is directly endangering the life of his 12 year old son, he needs to go away for a while and figure his life out.

I don't disagree. Especially with the "go away and figure his life out" part. Whether that is a couple weeks or a couple years, I don't know. I just hope he figures it out and I'm glad his son (and other drivers) are ok.

BTW, I am serious. Everyone is so freaking quick to pass judgement without the whole story. Let it play out. Maybe it is as bad as it sounds, but maybe it isn't.
