bIueadams 776 Report post Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Bobby Ryan arrested for public intox at Nashville airport. Stole from the gift shop, then ditched the stolen items and went to the airport bar. When police caught up to him he was so drunk he didnt know the date time or where he was and couldnt stand on his own. Not being prosecuted for the theft. Ryan was signed by the Wings after completing NHL rehab for alcoholism. How much you wanna bet he relapsed during his time in Detroit hence why he wasnt re-signed by Detroit or any other team.

I'm gonna guess that it's not being signed and out of hockey that has caused him to relapse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk he was a pretty decent 3rd line scorer here, and everyone was surprised when the league completely ditched him after that season. I expressed that this guy want a good a good role model to sign when we got him, and now hes falling down drunk in airport bars and ur still defending him...

So saying no longer having the structure of pro hockey is a possible cause of him relapsing is defending him? Okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a drunk during hockey. Hes a drunk after hockey. "Hes only drunk cause he doesnt have hockey" Yeah seems like ur bending over backwards to make an excuse for him. Nobody wanted to give him a contract after a decent season in Detroit. The fact that hes being arrested falling down drunk in airports a short time later is exactly why nobody wanted this personality on their team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying he is a drunk because he doesn't have hockey. I'm saying no longer having hockey, and suddenly having too much free time on his hands COULD BE a reason he RELAPSED. As in he was sober in hockey for a couple of years to end his career. You must be really bored today if this is the hill you need to die on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby messed up his career drinking like an idiot. Good for him for trying to turn it around. But it didnt work. Color me surprised he crawled right back into a bottle. Didnt want him here the first time, and glad SY gave up on that experiment after 1 season. This is a prime example of why. Guy is getting piss drunk and stealing from gift shops the moment he has an ounce of free time. Pathetic. No one wants that around their young players. Good riddance.

You're trying to paint this picture as if I'm advocating for the guy. It's really weird. You said he wasn't re-signed because he was a drunk. I merely provide the perspective that his relapse could have come after the fact. Then you invent an argument over nothing. I guess discussing the nuance of addiction is too complicated for folks who only see things in black and white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,527 Report post Posted July 27, 2022 Ugh, I feel bad for the guy. Addiction is hard and relapses are common. He seemed to be sincerely trying to beat alcoholism and I'm sure he felt about as low as humanly possible as he sobered up in a jail cell. I hope he's able to start again, learn from this, and be more successful next time. 1 ely s reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thinks its telling he came out of rehab, wings gave him a chance, and no one including the wings gave him a 2nd one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan was invited to TC last summer on a PTO and did well. He didn't get signed because Raymond exceeded expectations and earned a roster spot in the top 6.
