I'm more shocked that the usual band of merry dumbasses that troll this board haven't complained that he was out fishing instead of training.

Running from forrest rangers can be considered as high heart rate exercise?

Chill out grandpa. I'm sure you did way worse stuff when you were 20 than getting fined for fishing.

 

People b!tch way too much nowadays. I'm sure he's learned his lesson now. I dont see this as a reflection of his hockey career at all. Just a bunch of kids getting into mischief during the summer. It's not like he was shooting down bald eagles with a crossbow. Move on.

Actually, I have to step in and clarify this a bit, as I live in Finland, and know a thing or 2 about fisheries here... Species was landlocked salmon, and there is fewer of them than you guys have bald eagles. All what is left of the "Lake Saimaa Salmon" is now in facilities, and they are trying to make them more healthy by "milking" the ones that have gone through long journey to spawning areas. 
Still, Petrus has given here a face for ignorance and bad behaviour in nature. So, ironic as it is, he made a good PR for Salmons and people trying to preserve them. Penalties here for even this kind of stunt are minimal, small fine and bye...
