Uh-oh, major gambling drama in hockey

[firestar]

Ugh, if the NHL didn't have enough trouble.

Crazy, Tochett could get 10-20 years for first degree money laundering.. Wayne Gretzkys wife is supposedly involved, as well as a 'major hollywood celebrity' and another 6 NHL players. Not gambling on hockey though, but we're talking 1.7 million+ in trades.

Shitty. Thanks for the giant black mark for hockey in the US guys.

It being in Jersy didn't really surprise me a whole lot

[Goodfellow]

gretzky's wife?? man he's worth like 100 mil why would she be involved haha. DIDN'T MARTHA STEWART TEACH YOU ANYTHING!

gretzky's wife is involved because gretzky is smart enough not to place his bets himself.......

Also has ties to philladephia aka where rick tocchet's team when he was playing. Hence the whole mob involvement etc

[KenJi]

Also seems to stem from rick tocchet was staying at a holiday inn in philadelphia where he became frioends with a man named James Harney who later joined the new jersey police department.

In October someone tipped the police saying Harney was a part of a gamling ring, and it goes from there. At least from what i've read bits and pieces

Refs are paid off in every major sport.

rick tochett is involved with the mafia.... and I gather that gretzky is also involved as well considering his wife is included in this mess.... I really wouldn't be suprised... considering they have like the shittiest team in the league... Ever see the games they have.... hardly any people in the stands... how does that team exist... only by funding and it has to come from somewhere..

Yeah...I think maybe Gretzky has some money.

There is always a fuckin' mob connection to everything even IKEA.

Who cares about that aspect.

It's the fact these fux are supposed to be NHL and they're runnin' bets.

Not cool.

Makes NHL look like WWF.:154:

Hockey players will be subjected to tucking there jerseys in there pants to avoid "hooking penalties" and what not..... How fuckin retarded is that going to look considering most of the hockey pants go way hey at a players chest..... christ you look at montreal.... the stripes on the bottom of there jersey is part of there logo's....... honestly the NHL fuckin sucks ass... Can't wait for the olympic hockey games.... Speaking of montreal theodore tested positive for a banned substance... so he's not gonna play for team canada.
