Bulin wall in court today

[dash]

He should find out today if he'll have to spend some time in an Arizona pokey...

The Edmonton Oilers goaltender will have his driving under the influence and speeding case heard before a judge in Scottsdale Municipal Court in Arizona Friday afternoon.

Khabibulin was arrested on Feb. 8 near his suburban Phoenix home after being pulled over for speeding in a black Ferrari, says a police report. The officer allegedly smelled alcohol on the 37-year-old, who agreed to sobriety tests as well as a blood test. After the blood test, he was cited for an extreme DUI with a blood-alcohol content at .164, more than twice the legal limit in Arizona.

If he’s found guilty, Khabibulin could spend a minimum of 30 days in jail for the misdemeanour. The maximum sentence is six months. He could be sent to Tent City, the military camp in the Arizona desert where the convicted wear prison stripes. They have also been known to wear pink underwear under the watchful eye of hard-line sheriff Joe Arpaio, the legendary lawman who has been featured on the CBS News program 60 Minutes.

These guys in sports nowadays just don't get it. So dumb.

The judge may indeed be hesitant to throw the book at Khabibulin for fear of him missing it and hitting some other poor schmuck in the courtroom.

How do you agree to a blood test when you are twice the legal limit? You know your not going to pass.

The judge found Khabibulin guilty on all charges - Sentencing at a later date. Doesn't sound like Nikolai will be at Oilers training camp, though.

Where is Ronald Reagan when you need him? Oh nevemind.

 

[Slimpikins]

Maybe he could have gotten out of it with a billion dollar bribe?

Why, It didn't work for the eagle.

Speaking of getting out of things, the Oilers might catch a break and be able to get out of their contract with Khabibulin (at least that's what I'm hearing out of Edmonton).

Can we start calling him 'Cool Hand Bulin'?

Figure he had a better shot with that then agreeing to a blood test.

Found Guilty!

Khabi gets 30 days in jail and the minimum fine alloted by Arizona law, but I'm hearing that he is appealing the ruling.

Well if you are going to go to jail, I highly recommend doing it in Arizona. I give their prisons 3 cake files.

To find out how prisons in your area match up, buy my new book "The Accidental Prisoner's Guide To The Big Houses Of America". From food to lodging to sodomy, all aspects of jail life are reviewed and rated by my easy cake file system.

Doesn't the DUI count as a crime in Canada therefore he won't be able to renew his work visa when the time comes right? Help me out fellow Canadians. I'm not quite sure.
