Kings winger Jarret Stoll arrested Friday in Las Vegas with cocaine and ecstasy.

Kings' Jarret Stoll arrested in Vegas on suspicion of drug possession - LA Times

And one of the other news sites I saw last night brings up the question journalist standards (I know, those are long gone). Its headline said something like: Erin Andrews' boyfriends, Jarret Stoll, arrested etc. etc. etc. She wasn't even there.

Just shocked. Kings player busted for coke. I imagine Richards, Carter and a few others weren't far away.

Hockey's dirty little secret is how common this is.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

When I went to Wet Republic a few years ago, I was shocked coke and X weren't handed out at the door.

Use the stick to chop thicker rails.

Regarding the headline, yeah, I don't think she deserves to be brought into this. But when you date one of these guys and he gets popped, I guess that's the course of doing business.

 

[BDC99]

And sad that more people know who she is than her NHL-playing BF.

 

[Moderator1]

Very true. I can see the headline writer's thinking. Who is this guy, he's pretty unknown as a hockey player. Ahhhhh, but he is Erin Andrews' boyfriend. Again, not terribly fair to her but the way of the world.

 

[Songbird]

He's not exactly a nobody, with 58 playoff games and 26 playoff points the last 3 years on a 2-time champion.

 

[MileHigh]

She's a sports reporter at a major network. She's dating an athlete in one of the big four sports, though not one she covers. Is it fair? Probably not. But it comes with the territory.

I've barely heard of him, and I work in sports. Admittedly, I don't follow the NHL as a whole too much. But I would think he is relatively not well known.

 

[Songbird]

TMZ is working really hard to see how deep she is involved.

 

[BDC99]

She's either got some serious questions for her BF or she's got some serious questions to answer, unfortunately.

 

[Vombatus]

And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

I got a bad feeling for Erin on this one. She has to have some knowledge of the drug involvement. Even if she's never had a toot in her life, she will be called to testify at some point and a lot of dirty Erin laundry will be aired.

X > Pro-Biotics?

Called to testify? No, she won't. He will plead it out. He won't be parading witnesses in front of a jury over a possession charge.

 

[ChrisLong]

Erin will dump him, but he'll hook up with another Hollywood Hottie in a snap. Don't forget his romp with Rachel Hunter long before Erin. They even bought a house together in Hermosa Beach.

 

[Lugnuts]

To bottom line it for a sec...

She's invested a lot of time and effort and TIME into this relationship and was probably hoping for marriage/kids.

At 37, biological clock ticking.

He's a pro athlete with a couple of "unexplained seizures" and a drug bust for some beyond-pot-type stuff.

Really really sucks for her.

Time to freeze eggs and dump his ass.

 

[exmediahack]

Should have stayed with Bielema.

I guess I'm at a loss of why these sideline reporters can't just get down with a New York bond trader, some hunk lawyer or another rich asshole who isn't a professional athlete.

 

[Lugnuts]

Melissa Stark did just that and she's been very happy.
