ClickOnDetroit- Jiri Hudler is accused of threatening a flight attendant while demanding cocaine on his way from New York to Prague, according to a Czech newspaper report.
According to the report, the 33-year-old former Detroit Red Wings forward told the flight attendant he wanted cocaine. When she told him that would be illegal, Hudler allegedly threatened the woman and told her he would have his friends kill her when they arrived in Prague. Moreover, the flight staff accused Hudler of doing cocaine in the airplane bathroom and said he tried to urinate on a food cart. In a statement to Blesk magazine, Hudler denies the accusations. ------ Oh please, are we really going to act like requesting that an airline servant fetch you recreational narcotics while 30,000 feet in the air en route to the Czech Republic is a rare occurrence? You heard the lady. She said it was "illegal", not impossible. Seems like more of a "technically still in US territory" issue more than anything else. I mean, if booger sugar wasn't one of available seasonings then she failed to make an extremely important distinction to a former professional athlete whose uncanny acceleration on the ice is starting to make a hell of a lot more sense. Now granted, threatening to have her murdered by your local cronies because she was unable to provide a "fix" to your drug dilemma is a bit excessive when the destination in question makes that potential "hit" more intimidating than any check that Jiri Hudler has ever thrown. The type of guy who openly expects cocaine to be delivered to him on a silver mirror while undergoing the inherent inconvenience of overseas travel is not the type to be treated facetiously, so I understand her level of concern. However, before we go chastising someone whose outrageous demand really makes you wonder what kind of...::sniff, sniff::...amenities the NHL was providing him, let's take a second to focus on the more important issue at hand... Who in the hell forgot to board the blow?!?! I feel like everyone is piling on Jiri Hudler and assuming that the high maintenance demon up his nostril is the same one responsible for the damningly downward spiral of a former 30 goal scorer's career. Pretty presumptuous if you ask me. Maybe we should just wait and see if there's any validity to this oddly specific story. And even if there is, the hypocrites might want to hop off their high horse like they have never responded to an unscratched itch by promising homicide and/or relieving themselves on a food cart while stuck in isolation with hundreds of strangers miles above solid ground. Friendly reminder: The Lady Byng Trophy is awarded to the player that exemplifies sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct, and a high standard of playing ability on the ice, not necessarily in the air...
