WELL NOW.
Some induhvidual by the name of K. D. Wade has written a letter to the News and Observer decrying the fact that the Hurricanes haven’t done anything to Eric Staal in the wake of his arrest other than say “He wasn’t the one hassling motorists and he was asleep when the cops came to kick his group out, so to us it’s a non-issue”.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Citizen Wade for his letter.
Apparently, since Eric Staal was asleep when the police arrived to toss his noisy group from his hotel, and since he was part of a group that was arrested by a couple of bored Barney Fifes when a handful of them started acting the fool and hollering at passing cars as they were walking down the road, he needs to be IMMEDIATELY suspended by the Hurricanes and the NHL lest the message be sent to young people that it’s OK to drink and be an idiot.
Because of course, being walking along the side of the road while drunk is exactly like shooting steroids to hit lots of home runs, running dogfighting rings, and generally living the thug life. And clearly, no young people in this community have parents to tell them that it’s not cool to have a few beers and then just go to bed. I wonder, would Citizen Wade have preferred that the group got behind the wheel? I guess that would be better than walking down the road after being tossed from a resort hotel because of a couple of drunken morons that wouldn’t listen to instructions while their host was asleep in bed, hmm?
Be that as it may; I would like to thank Citizen Wade for publicly offering me his seat at the RBC Center this season–I’ll be sure put it to good use, attending more games this season than Citizen Wade has likely attended the entire time the Hurricanes have been in Raleigh. I’m sure that while I’m happily cheering for my beloved Hurricanes, Citizen Wade will be “more constructively” spending his time polishing the saddle on his high horse.
I just hope he doesn’t pass out and fall off the ladder–I hear that the air is a little rare up there.
Fuckhead.

Might this be the same jackass that tore the Canes jerseys off the monuments in Raleigh? The nerve of some people.
probably the same jackass that was complaining a while back about the picture that the N&O runs of Scottie Walker and Chris Clark fighting - “that kind of picture sets the bad example of violence in our sport, can’t the N&O run a better picture that doesn’t give our kids the wrong impression?”
Betcha he’s got a Carrboro mailing address.
To Whom it May Concern:
Because of these damned spoiled athletes, all the young people will be going to bed early and getting arrested because their friends got rowdy. I mean, just last week my son went to bed at a party while all his friends got drunk and yelled at cars. “I learned it from Eric Staal,” he said. I for one am never going to another Hurricanes game again. Not that I’ve ever been to one or have even ever watched teh hockey puck game on TV. Something must be done etc.

Nah Wuffy, he’s a different jackass.
Of course, jackass is as jackass does so…
