Rick and Janet Strike Back

Now that it seems like the state of New Jersey is done leaking “information” about Rick Tocchet and (Queen of Canada) Janet Jones Gretzky, the two have decided to let NJ know what they think about all the fun tidbits we were hearing about mid-season.

Coach, Gretzky’s wife plan to sue N.J. for $50M each

A professional hockey coach charged with running a multimil lion-dollar sports gambling operation and the wife of the game’s greatest player are planning to sue the state for $50 million apiece, according to documents filed in Trenton.

Attorneys for Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet and Janet Jones filed notice May 8 they intend to sue the Department of Law and Public Safety, the State Police and the head of the State Police public information office for allegedly defaming them by illegally releasing evidence from confidential wiretaps.

It should be stressed that they’re not suing yet, they just filed notices of intent and have two years to file suit.
