I thought that only NFL players were allowed to do this shit. :)

He was just being the typical soiled brat professional athlete. Many of the core of "pros" never have not grown up and learned how to behave as adults. They have gotten so used to getting everything they want when they want it they are not able to be out in public without a keeper. The eastern block countries were just as bad as us if not worse for coddling athletes. I hope the airline bans this guy forever from getting on one of their planes. No doubt he would sue them if they do ban him. As a frequent flier this is the very type of asshole that drive airline employees to be so brusque to everyone and so inflexible making flying so unpleasant. I have gotten to the point that when I board the plane I put in my noise reduction earbuds after the announcements, close my eyes, mind my own business, ignore as best I can the obnoxious turd in the next seat(you get stuck with one about 1/3 of the time), do not ask anything from the attendant, and quietly endure the time as necessary evil of earning a living.

I dread winding up on a plane with a prick like this.

When I saw this discussion - I was thinking NBA or MLB - but not NHL. This is crazy. How did he bring drugs through security?

I've heard that drinking on a plane can cause you to get drunk quicker. I wonder if consuming Coke on a plane will cause someone to get more fucked up?
