Ex-Blue Jori Lehtera and a cocaine ring? You can’t make this stuff up

Move over, Mike Danton. You have company in the holy shit it can’t be true department.

Is it true? Is the former St. Louis Blue-who fans loved to hate-involved in a drug ring? As an older Han Solo once said, “yes, it’s true...all of it.”

Ex-Blue Jori Lehtera is being suspected in a Finnish cocaine ring. A great Netflix screenwriter couldn’t pen this story from scratch. When I shared a joke about it on Twitter this afternoon, there were some who couldn’t believe it. It possibly has to do with the fact that the owner of two months of solid NHL hockey back in 2014 had started to drift away in his Philadelphia career grave before David Issac published his report in The Courier Post this week.
