He's been a healthy scratch for the last few games.
Do NHL contracts have morality clauses?

I thought he had settled down a bit when he got married and had a baby. Guess not.Dickie Dunn wrote:Always had a party boy reputation. Sad it ended up going this far.
I read somewhere that he's been going through a divorce now, too.
The whole thing is sad, and I'm just grateful he didn't kill himself or someone else while DUI.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
The divorce is sad, but not surprising. He was a pretty well known philanderer while he was here. Not to a Hines Ward degree, but it was definitely public knowledge.

I'm sad to sad it didnt surprise me. Although I didn't know there was a divorce in the works. I just assumed she partied, too.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
Not to be insensitive but he was a mess in Pittsburgh years ago. Not a rumor, he was drunken mess and I personally saw that a lot. Used to see him out all the time, he was a fixture at South Side bars around 12th street. The Pittsburgh media liked to say nice things for his image after having a kid but I swear the very next week he was at the same spots falling over and acting a fool. Was just out of control and tripping over himself all the time.Lt. Dish wrote:I thought he had settled down a bit when he got married and had a baby.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
I hope he gets his act together. Seems like an alright dude the times that I've talked to him. Reminds me of my brother. Hopefully, this is his bottom/wake up call.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
The DUI is worse...though is blood alcohol level wasn't crazy high. Which means he was probably also...well...high - since he lost control of his vehicle.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
It's not really uncommon for a heavy drinker to also enjoy coke. The stimulus counteracts the drowsy feeling from heavy drinking to allow energy to, you guessed it, drink more. It starts innocent enough, but that feeling is rather enjoyable and addictive. Add in that he no doubt has the money to support and a second habit is formed.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
Hopefully he'll go into some sort of rehab program for booze and can make it a go for next year.
He looked pretty broken down the last time I paid attention, so his this definitely affects his chances to hang around on another small contract.

I wouldn't want either on my record, but you're really going with the DUI being worse?shmenguin wrote:The DUI is worse...though is blood alcohol level wasn't crazy high. Which means he was probably also...well...high - since he lost control of his vehicle.
I can go out to D's, The Beer Market, etc., put down 2 Belgian beers in an hour and be near .11 BAC. If you don't watch what you are drinking and your bartenders aren't up front about what you are drinking, it can very easily happen. Next thing you know, you get behind the wheel with the thought of "I've had two beers, I'll be fine" and you're driving home over the legal limit. It doesn't make it excusable but it does show lack of responsibility on the drinker's part.
Now compare that to cocaine. While there is a legal line for alcohol and recreational use, cocaine is a Schedule II controlled substance. Possession in itself is a crime.

Curious, do you weigh 75lbs or not have a functioning liver? ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
I know this was directed at somebody else but I'm 6' 165 and don't drink. A .11 for me would be fairly buzzed to where I wouldn't feel comfortable driving.dodint wrote:Curious, do you weigh 75lbs or not have a functioning liver? ;)

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
Assuming JS weighs 200 lbs (it's a nice round number, so apologies if I'm over), 2 9.0% ABV beers over 1 hour = about .103 BAC. Over the limit.dodint wrote:Curious, do you weigh 75lbs or not have a functioning liver?
It really doesn't take you too much in an hour to put you over.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
A DUI is worse to me because you endanger other people. Cocaine may well have a higher penalty in the court system but normally if you are cocaine binging you are only hurting yourself.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
I'll point out that it's unlikely that *none* of his teammates were aware that he had interest in cocaine.
That's not something that one can hide in the long run.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
I've heard Marty St. Louis and him used to be wild in TB... stories about the two of them hanging out with a certain former female reporter from Versus... Not surprising the law finally caught up to him.
And without question cocaine possession is worse than a .116... if you drink relatively regularly (a few times a week) you probably don't even feel drunk at .116

Re: Ryan Malone arrested on DUI/Possession charges
Wait, did they find Malone also under the influence of cocaine, or did they only bang him for possession?

Weren't Wade Redden and another Sens player rumored to have coke issues during their time in Ottawa.

That would explain him playing over his head while in Ottawa
