And yet there were virtually no consequences for the crime...amazing. Go call MADD? What authority are they? His NHL contract basically prevented him from having to deal with any of the consequences any member of this board would have faced? I don't understand this part. Did the charges get dropped? What do you mean by 'his NHL contract..."? Why would I need proof that a Calgary scout convinced Anaheim to lend Logan to their minor league affiliate when Anaheim SUSPENDED him. Clearly something happened that caused Calgary to be interested in borrowing young Logan I don't have a problem with this... a father helping out his son.

Clearly something happened that caused Calgary to be interested in borrowing young Logan My point was, the severity of the crime is the same, whether you have an NHL contract or you dont...what arent you understanding? Because without proof people can say whatever they want...and than we end up with a messageboard filled with briwhel's, and who wants that? Perhaps trading a 29 year old with 39 career NHL games for a 21 year old was enticement enough.

The severity is the SAME? WTF? I never argued that drinking and driving isn`t serious, I argued that he didn`t really get punished for it. You clearly have a vested interest here. Logan screwed up, but apparently young people always screw up so we should just forget the fact that he put lives in jeopardy by getting behind the wheel of a car even though he doesn`t have a license and was drunk

I believe his ultimate sentence was something like 30 hours of community service and not allowed to drive for a year (he does community service automatically as part of his contract and he doesn`t have a license so he doesn`t really have to do anything extra).

Take a look in the mirror. You basically turned this thread into a shit show by essentially calling him a dumb ass for drinking and driving (thats implied, you dont have to sat it), saying his NHL contract got him off the hook, saying his dad pulled some strings for him to get traded... You have a hate for this kid...like 90% of non-Moosehead fans. Nothing new there.

People love a 'comeback' almost as much as they love a fall from grace.

Forgive me if I don't your word for it, but regardless, the sentence is what it is. Does seem kind of light; certainly no Mark Bell sentence. Still, there's no way a US court gives someone a heavier sentence than community service solely because the person already does community service. And to be honest, I don't think community service work you're already contracted to do would cover court mandated service.

Who cares what his sentence was? I could name some local driving infractions where people pretty much got away with them....and these people were not hockey players....and they'd outrage a majority of the public with how little punishment they faced. Hell I'm sure every poster here could name 2 or 3 they know of as well. Your hate for the kid is pretty pathetic, honestly. And in your typical fashion you believe hearsay and rumors from the internet as gospel.

I thought there wasn't supposed to be any discussions of players' personal lives on the boards. I'm shocked the posts in this thread have not been deleted. Or since he's a former player, it's a different rule?

Or since he's a former player, it's a different rule? You have a point considering the thread was about him getting traded; it's kind of ironic that the shitshow got started by a poster who obviously has no problem crapping on other team's players, former or current, but will call out out of towners for crapping on his beloved hit from behind expert cough <<THOMAS>> cough.

Or since he's a former player, it's a different rule? [begin mod post] I have been following this thread, as it is close to crossing the line. The only thing that has been stated is the DUI, which is public knowledge and he was arrested because of it. The personal issues he has dealt with which caused him to take a break haven't been mentioned. It is only been stated "personal issue" which is all that has been reported in the news. We don't follow a different set of guidelines for ex players, but to be honest nothing that is posted in this thread wasn't already posted in the paper. Well minus briwhel complaining about his dad...but honestly does anyone take anything briwhel says as fact or as logical? So while the thread has approached the line, maybe even straddled the line it hasn't crossed it (IMO). Let me know if you disagree, also it is possible that I missed something that shouldn't have been said - so let me know if that is the case as well.
