Of course he should take it seriously, as should anyone who is convicted of DUI. Just because he's an NHL player doesn't make him any different or special from anyone else convicted of the same.
Appeals for this are bullshit. Pay the fine, do the time and carry on.
Sure it's bullshit! The appeal is just a
business ploy. As long as the charge/conviction is under appeal, he is not YET considered guilty by the courts, Hence, he can still enter Canada because he doesn't have a felony on his record. This way, he plays out this season,
collects his big $$$$ then in the 2011 off-season, takes the hit, does the time, his Liars have the time to 'clear him for entry' into Canada in time for the next season begins. No loss of pay for him!
