Sporting News – Detroit Red Wings prospect Riley Sheahan, the team’s No. 1 draft pick in 2010, faces a “super-drunk” charge after twice blowing .30 on a breathalyzer test following a traffic stop in Grand Rapids, Mich.   Sheahan, who plays for the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins, was wearing a purple Teletubby costume when stopped for going down the wrong way of a Grand Rapids street.  He was using 23-year-old teammate Brendan Smith’s ID to get into bars, the 20-year-old Sheahan said.

 

God this is such a hockey player thing to do.  Can’t just go out and get a DUI.  Can’t just be a normal guy who drank too much and got behind the wheel.  Noooo, we’re hockey players, we’re so tough and hardcore that we get SUPER-DRUNK and dress up like Tinky Winky the purple Teletubby and drive on the wrong side of the road with a .30.   Look at me, look at how hard I party, they have to make up special phrases to describe how hammered I am.   Ugh stop trying to overcompensate hockey players.  We get it.   You’re tough guys and you like to party.  Don’t have to throw it in our face every chance you get.
