Do you know about - I'd Like on the Predators!
Dentist In Phoenix! Again, for I know. Ready to share new things that are useful. You and your friends.Rick It was learned on Wednesday that old Flyers star and current Phoenix
Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet could be in some hot water with both the Nhl
and the New Jersey State Police, after authorities busted a sports gambling ring he
helped finance. According to authorities, "Operation Slap Shot" (real creative title
there guys, I guess "Operation Icing" and "Operation Crosscheck" were both already
taken) uncovered a sports betting theory that processed more than 1,000 wagers
with a total of about .7 million on professional and collegiate sporting events
during a 40-day period. Tocchet has been identified as a partner and financier of
the ring (along with a New Jersey state trooper), and State Police also say that "Police
Academy 5" star and wife of Wayne Gretzky, Janet Jones, located bets for players on
the Coyotes.
How is I'd Like on the Predators!
No one complex has been accused of betting on hockey games, by the way. All bets
were made on sports other than the Nhl. So, we're not talking about Nhl players
placing bets on their own games, like Pete Rose did. Still, this could be a major
scandal for the Nhl. Possibly even more shocking to me was the fact that I had no
idea that Rick Tocchet was still in the Nhl! Did you know he was a coach on the
Coyotes? And did you know that he and Wayne Gretzky, the Coyotes head coach,
were Bffs? It got me to thinking... With Tocchet turning to the gambling commerce
following his playing vocation (with a small coaching mixed in), what jobs do you think
some ex-Flyers may be pursuing now that their playing vocation is finished, and what
jobs do you think some current Flyers may pursue when they hang up the skates?
(Cue the dream sequence sound effects and graphics...)
Mike Bullard - Dentist (if anything knows about dental work, it would be 'ol "Gappy")
Tim Kerr - Hunchback (years of back problems)
Dominic Roussel - Motivational Speaker (centering around teamwork)
Ron Hextall - Anger supervision Coach (because he all the time kept a cool head)
Brian Propp - anything but a radio color investigator (damn, too late)
Peter Zezel - Teen Magazine Editor (hell, he appeared in adequate of those things
anyway)
Eric Lindros - Mafia Hit Man (fuhgeddaboutit)
Billy Tibbets - Unemployed (it's hard for a rapist to find a good job nowadays)
Kjell Samuelson - Lumberjack (obviously)
Keith Primeau - Let's just have Keith be able to run on a treadmill for 10 minutes
without falling over before we give the guy a job
Chris Gratton - Not sure exactly, but I do know that he'd get a promotion then
crumble under the pressure of higher expectations
Chris Therien - First things first. Let's just get the guy to retire first and then we can
figure out a job for him. Retire Chris!
Garth Snow - Sofa Maker (hey, the guy likes padding)
Donald Brashear - professional Swimmer (just like the Nhl, he'd be the only black
guy out there)
Those are just a few. And hey, let's make this interactive. Make sure to click on the
forums link, reply to this column and add a consolidate of your own! You can use any
current or old Flyer. Maybe they'll check in sometime if they're low on ideas or
worried about what they're going to do when they conclude to retire. In the end, they'll
thank us.
In the meantime, Tocchet is anticipated to be arraigned within the next 7-10 days and
will most likely be suspended by the Nhl for his role in the gambling ring. And Rick,
if you do end up having to do a small time in the pokey, tell Billy Tibbets we all said
hello.
