You'll Never Guess What Claude Giroux Got Arrested For Last Night.

Although few details were immediately available, a source said Giroux was arrested for repeatedly grabbing the buttocks of a male police officer. Alcohol is believed to have been involved.
The incident occurred at a bar in the Byward Market the source said.
Ottawa Police have refused any comment on the incident. Police said they cannot comment unless charges are laid, but several sources did confirm to the Sun Giroux spent the night in jail.

Sources say he is expected to be released without any criminal charges. (via The Sun)

Another instant Claude Giroux off season classic! How do you outdo hurting yourself playing golf? Easy. You go out and try to molest male police officers in Ottawa. Perfect move. Has anyone ever gone from being nominated for the Hart trophy, to being on a sex offender registry so quickly in the history of the NHL? Probably not right? I'd have to look it up, but I doubt it.

But you know what, I feel for poor Claude. Obviously he's had a rough couple of months. First he gets knocked out of the playoffs first round, then the Flyers get rid of Scott Hartnell, who he had been romantically involved with for some time. Just heart breaking stuff. Who could fault a guy for going out and trying to pick up some rebound action? I'm certainly not going too. We've all been there. After all, no one wants to spend Canada Day alone.


PS: Is this what Canada Day is all about aboot? I always thought it was like the Fourth here. I pictured a bunch of Canadians celebrating syrup and ham and stuff. I had no idea it was some weird, rape-y holiday with like dude-on-dude butt touching and stuff. Totally turned off from Canada Day now.
