SOB on 650 radio re Pettersson. When he talks to hockey guys, they bring up "that Swedish kid" right away. Hockey world's buzzing.

From what I've heard about SOB is that he is one of the best dudes you will ever meet.
In Vancouver he was a young, handsome, professional hockey player who was not married, no kids, and made over a million per year. Can you blame him for wanting to go out and enjoy himself? I am not going to name names but I've heard much worse things about other players who did have a wife & kids at home.
As for paying the price, he is an 8th round pick who played over 500 NHL games. In today's dollars he earned over 11 million dollars in the NHL (plus 5 years in the AHL and 3 in Europe). That is just slightly below average. Plus he will receive a pension starting at 45, so he is very set. -
