Guy Lafleur - Hall of Famer... & Fugitive

[Papi Chulo]

An arrest warrant has apparently been issued for the hockey star... apparently he gave contradictory evidence at his son's trial.

Why was his son on trial?

Why was his son on trial?

Sexual assault, I believe.

 

[Hockey_MLnut]

and forcible confinement.

Wouldn't any father try and help their son as much as possible???

Generally, but this is Canada and not the Kennedy compound.

Why was his son on trial?

From the Toronto Star

"Lafleur's son stands accused of 21 offences – some of them dating to 2004 – ranging from forcible confinement to drug trafficking to sexual assault."

I would do all I could to help my son. If breaking the law was the only option, I would do it. I would also be ready to do the time (damn kids, the things you do for them) if I got caught.

The problem here is that Guy could have been more helpful with better "fatherly advise". Oh well, Lafleur never struck me as a particularly sharp fellow.

He is an asshole

and forcible confinement.

I would help with legal fees especialy if I thought there might be wrongful charges but to actually help him hide from the law...not a chance. What does that teach your kid other than disrespect for laws? If you help him break the law then where exactly do you draw the line with him? Is it when your kid is charged with stealing a car? Dealing drugs? Murdering someone?

Lafleur is an idiot. I used to see him all the time in Beaconsfield and he was an grown kid with too much money. He played at Dick Irvins summer golf tourament at Beaconsfield Gofl CLub and he treated the course staff and clubhouse staff like shit. I hope he gets fucked royally.

Whatever else Lafleur was he was incredibly lucky. He wiped out on the highway and his car was utterly demolished but he didn't get so much as a scratch. Claimed he fell asleep which in Quebec is sort of slang for "I passed out form the booze"

I physically he didn't have a scratch but I think mentally it took a toll. He wasn't the same player after the accident. IMO

The kids has some "development issues". I think Guy over compensates for by going out on a limb for the kid.

 

[Esco!]

Whatever happened to that drink he had, flower power?????
(or whatever it was called)

 

[Hard Idle]

That spoilled punk has probably been using Daddy's connections and local celebrity status to get away with crimes for a long time.

I can understand the part about lying for his son, but I can't understand agreeing to be an accessory to his continued criminal behaviour. Agreeing to help his son voilate the terms of his bond was insane and he should get no sympathy. All it would have taken was the backbone and judgement to say "No" to the brat.

Guy needs to ask himself if he really did all he could to help his son. Maybe calling over Serge Savard & Larry Robinson to give Junior a private working over might have scared him straight?
