Jiri Hudler had quite the flight during his recent trip to Europe.
The free-agent NHL forward has been accused by the Delta Airlines staff of behaving belligerently during his flight from New York to Prague, a Czech newspaper reported Wednesday.

According to the report, it all started when Hudler's demand for "coke" was denied by a flight attendant after it was initially presumed that his request was in reference to the beverage. Hudler then threatened to have the woman killed by his friends upon their arrival.
Things only got worse from there. Hudler has also been accused of snorting cocaine in the plane's bathroom and then attempting to urinate on a food cart.
A fellow passenger told the newspaper that Hudler additionally appeared to be under the influence of alcohol during the flight.
Hudler has denied the allegations, saying it was "just such a small incident." The occurrence, however, is serious enough that it's under investigation by police.
Hudler, 33, most recently played with the Stars last season but has yet to find a new team as the league's regular season kicks off this week. Since beginning his NHL career in Detroit during the 2006-07 season, he has logged 164 goals and 264 assists in 708 career games with the Red Wings, Flames, Panthers and Stars.
