What began as a leisurely afternoon jog for Blackhawks player Tuomo Ruutu quickly escalated with his mistaken detention Tuesday before ending with Ruutu obliging an officer's request for an autograph. In what officials called an "unfortunate coincidence," Bensenville police briefly detained Ruutu, 24, because he matched the description of a suspect who reportedly robbed a nearby apartment complex at gunpoint earlier in the day, said Village Manager James Johnson. Authorities say a man wielding a handgun entered the office of the Brentwood Apartments in Bensenville around 11:50 a.m. and demanded cash from the manager, who did not have any money, Johnson said. After finding the office safe contained no money either, witnesses said the man fled the building on foot wearing a black hat, black jacket and black pants, Johnson said. -- Chicago Tribune

wow - and chicago is a hockey town. That might happen Phoenix or nashville and wherever they play for the Panthers (Clearwater? St. petersburg?), but don't they know who he is?

There's just no way we'd not know who he is in Toronto - i remember being at a canadian tire waiting for my car to get an oil check and in walked Lindros and his brother. No one made a fuss over them but everyone knew who they were (the two very large men at the end of the room).
Lindros said he couldn't even get into the arena in dallas initially because the guard didn't know who he was.
it's a whole other world.
