Former Winnipeg Jet and Moncton Hawk, Rudy Poeschek gets kicked out of the United States
This all sort of reminds me of when someone gets asked to leave a party or decides on their own that the party'd be better served without them being there.
'Dude it was funny when you put cake in your wine and drank it, I was right there laughing. It was even a little funny when you started writing things on the wall with the cake, but when you started drinking beer off the floor, it was a little much.'
The 38-year-old mortgage broker, who saw most of his NHL action with Tampa Bay, told Judge Denise Pomponio that his family has a contract to sell their Tampa house and he plans to move back to his native Canada.
"I think it would probably be in the best interest of everyone if you left the country," Pomponio said. "I'm not saying that in an ugly way or a bad way."
The judge asked if Poeschek was getting a ride to British Columbia, where he has relatives, or if he would fly.
"I'm not going to drive," he said.
"That's what I want to hear," she responded.
It's not entirely funny that a 38 year old man would do donuts and knock over mailboxes with his five year old daughter in the car, but...ok wait it's actually pretty fucking funny.
The only fun things my dad used to do in the car was occasionally he'd drive with his knees. Let's not be too hard on him, he's not some big time wash-up. (Contrary to popular belief, removing your nosehair in the car, stationary or not, is not 'fun').
