Sens Lore Wiki:Westbound Highway 417 Palladium Drive Offramp

The offramp for Palladium Drive was the scene of a highly-publicized road rage incident between Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery and 63 year old Jean Therien on September 5, 2007.

After cutting off Ray Emery's infamous white Hummer H2 heading west, Emery proceeded to swerve in and out of Therien's lane, forcing Therien to exit the highway at Palladium Drive. He stopped on the shoulder and was met by Emery, who proceeded to shout at and insult Therien.

No charges were laid as Ottawa Police determined there was not enough evidence to pursue any, but two years later, Therien considered filing suit in civil court against Ray Emery, declaring "I'm not after his money" and promising to donate any financial award to charity.
