High Sticking It to the Man 0

This should be fun to watch.

Peter Laviolette is seeking at least $3 million in damages for fraud, it was confirmed Friday night by a Florida attorney whose firm is representing the Flyers coach.

In court last week, Laviolette claimed Bank of America convinced him to mortgage his properties and invest the proceeds in high-risk funds that “utterly collapsed,” Courthouse News (CN) reported.

The Laviolettes, CN reported, said they later learned that the high-return investment projections relied on “artificially inflated values for their properties and an unreasonable rate of return.”

I am not a big hockey fan. The NHL is near the top of my “I-don’t-care” list (as opposed to big-time college and pro football, which are at the top of my “the-corruption-has-sickened-me” list).

I admit that watching a hockey game in person is a lot of fun. Back in my younger, pre-kids days, my then-wife and I would take in the occasional Caps game, which I could enjoy thanks to WMAL-AM host Ken Beatrice, the only person I ever listened to who explain hockey in terms I understood. In TV viewer land, though, hockey is just too fast to fit in a television screen.

Nevertheless, I might just start to root for the Flyers because of this.
