Matthew Barnaby Fired

[new york knight]

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Former NHL forward Matthew Barnaby was fired by ESPN as the cable network’s hockey analyst on Monday, a day after being charged with drunken driving for being found behind the wheel of an SUV that was missing its front tire.

In an email sent to The Associated Press, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz wrote the network informed Barnaby that his contract was
terminated “effective immediately.”

This is Barnaby’s second run-in with the law this year.

In July, he was ordered to complete 500 hours of community service to have charges dropped stemming from an argument he had with his estranged wife in May. Barnaby was accused of causing about $300 damage by kicking a garage door in an attempt to enter a home where his wife and two children live in suburban Buffalo.

this is not his first DWI. It's his second. Coupled with the earlier arrest this year and it's bye bye Barnaby.
