Even if he's allowed to play, there's no telling how this rattling around in his head may affect his performance.

2nd degree Kidnapping is usually charged when you restrict someone from leaving- which from early reports is sounding like what happened. He beat her, then when she tried to leave he stopped her from doing so. Not all the facts are out yet, so we'll have to see how this plays out. The radio said that he's allowed to travel (like Sharpie stated), and the GF will be speaking to the media sometime soon about the ordeal. The question is, and Pugnac put it well, will he get "special" treatment because he's a famous athlete? I concur with Pugnac that since he's a hockey player we should pause and reserve judgement until more comes out, but had he been a NFL or NBA player, yeah... whole different story. Like I asked some friends today: Why are goalies so angry? Is it because they don't get to skate and hit?Quote:

I think there is more to the story. But I'll keep my opinions to myself.

Pro athletes/celebrities are also walking around with targets on their backs. I'll let this play out in the judicial system and see if there's anything to it.
Yeah...everyone should know that there is a lot more to the story than what we all hearing about at this time.
I would also add that no matter how much the lady pissed the guy off, ya can't be smackin' a lady up either. We'll see.
