Over the New Year’s holiday, the Edmonton Oilers racked up a substantial bill at the Osteria de Medici, a fine Italian restaurant. They spent the evening eating and drinking, and just downright partying. Perfectly normal for a New Year’s Eve celebration.

But when the bill came, the team choked on it. They discovered they managed to eat and drink $18,000 worth of the restaurant’s fine fare.

The team threw a fit and refused to pay the entire bill, claiming that, by their math, it should only have come to approximately $12,000. The owner, Maurizio Terrigno, claims that the team even tried to pull the “do you know who we are” line when he insisted they pay the bill, fair and square.

Yeah, cause that kind of comment always results in instant respect. Ahem.
