Kragar Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Minnesota Wild assistant coach and former Dallas Stars defenseman Darryl Sydor was arrested Thursday for driving under the influence by the Anoka County Sherrif’s Office in Minnesota. The former Stanley Cup winner reportedly was arrested at 5:15 p.m. after an observer called in and reported “erratic behavior” to the police, Lt. Mike Monsrud told the Star-Tribune.Sydor, 43, was charged with second-degree driving while impaired, according to the sheriff office’s official website. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports the coach could also face child-endangerment charges. He failed field-sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol content level of .30 — over three times the legal limit — and had one of his sons in the car with him, Monsrud told the newspaper. “One of the officers actually drove the child to the hockey game in Brooklyn Park,” Monsrud reportedly said, as attempts to contact the boy’s mother were unsuccessful. Further arrangements were made to get the boy safely home, according to the report. Sydor remained in jail Friday morning, according to the sheriff office’s website. Sydor was traded to the Stars in 1996, helping Dallas win the 1999 Stanely Cup. He was traded to Columbus in 2003, but had later stints with the club during the 2006-07 and 2008-09 seasons. http://starsblog.dallasnews.com/2015/08/former-dallas-stars-defenseman-darryl-sydor-arrested-for-dui-reportedly-had-bac-over-30-son-in-the-car.html/ At least he was caught before anyone could get hurt. Bonehead move if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Error in judgment or habitual behavior? The ROR thread was a sh÷t storm, shame on the guy is all I'll say. And no, I've never driven after consuming, EVER! edit; not saying I've never made bad choices in my life but my poor decisions never put my own or anyone else's loved ones in danger.

YEGCanuck Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I for one have done some really dumb stuff, so for what it is worth I can relate. That being said, only idiots drive while intoxicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baka Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 BAC 0.3 at 5:15pm?!? I dunno how he was able to back out the drive way. I dunno how he even walked to his car at that xD Error in judgment or habitual behavior? The ROR thread was a sh÷t storm, shame on the guy is all I'll say. And no, I've never driven after consuming, EVER! edit; not saying I've never made bad choices in my life but my poor decisions never put my own or anyone else's loved ones in danger. IMO habitual behavior. That percentage is something most first timers would never do. (and this is where I lose everyone) Coming from a guy who thinks drunk driving is kind of a propaganda mainstream based crime in the public eye.

Dazzle Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He may be drunk but I believe that his decision making abilities were still intact, but CHOSE to do something boneheaded. As Baka mentioned before, a first timer would not have been successful in coordinating himself - suggesting that Sydor has done this before. No excuse.

mpt Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Will he be banned from entering Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He has a history with booze. In and out of a rehab facility in the past. Had his twelve year old son in the car with him in the way to the kids hockey.... Sort your $&!# out Darryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 What a dumb move. If he is charged with child endangerment he will have a problem getting into canada. Might have to give up his job because he can't stay sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehead move if you ask me. I agree, and having your son in the car should give one pause to think before acting lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 where did this come from ? I think he assumed tha Sydor does not have Canadian citizenship. I think Sydor is a dual citizen, so if he does lose his job, it wouldn't be because of his inability to cross the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I understand that, just wondered why it was presumed he can't stay sober lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksCelts Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I understand that, just wondered why it was presumed he can't stay sober lol. If you look up the definition of someone who is classified as an addict, he fits quite nicely. Based on that, and alcoholics, he is likely either going to never stop drinking, or have a very hard time doing so. That's just the nature of the beast.

N7Nucks Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I agree, and having your son in the car should give one pause to think before acting lol. Just being drunk should make you think "driving might not be a good idea". The fact he drove his kid while intoxicated adds to his stupidity.
