The basic story is that Rick Tocchet was a partner in a gambling ring that spread across states and involved a New Jersey sheriff. Wayne's wife was also involved, placing over a half million dollars in bets. According to wiretaps, Wayne had no idea what was going on until the investigation began, so he's in no real trouble. Tocchet's probably out of hockey though, and there's now no fucking way that Pittsburgh gets their arena funded by a casino.
