Overzealous Drunken Canadian Hockey Players

Did anyone hear? Underneath the pile of the last 5,642 NFL players and University of Miami (FL) football players in the jail cell last month was Eric and Jordan Staal, the best of the burgeoning 1st family of NHL hockey. Eric is 22 and was enjoying his bachelor party while Jordan, 18, was along for the ride. They and about 20 more rambunctious drunken Canadians went south of the border to a Minnesota resort where they terrorized NFL fans and people who like the "Who's Now" segment.



Hilariously,

The Cook County Sheriff's Office said the brothers were among 14 arrested last
weekend after authorities received several complaints about "screaming, yelling
and playing loud music" at the resort in Northeastern Minnesota, about 2 hours
from the Staals' hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The sheriff said the group was warned multiple times before finally being ordered to leave the Lutsen Resort and Sea Villas in Lutsen, at which point the men gathered on a nearby highway and "began (overzealously) harassing motorists." That was when
authorities arrested the group, around 4 a.m. Saturday.

Is that why people like to follow sports? Because of the theives who go to FSU, the gun-toting low lifes of the NFL, the rapists of the University of Miami, and the game-fixers of the NBA? Well watch out American sports world, the NHL is about to rise to prominence again on the shoulders of the motorist-harassers of the Carolina Hurricanes.



On a more serious note, Eric and Jordan will both be very valuable fantasy players this year. Also look out for them to make a punishing line for Team Canada at future world tournaments and the 2010 Olympics. 2007/2008 predictions: Eric - 39/58, Jordan - 40/34. I'll take those numbers on the Crosby Show 2.
