NHL's Dallas Stars Sean Avery Suspended......



Sean Avery has been handed a suspension! The National Hockey League has suspended Sean Avery, indefinitely, allegedly for Avery’s comments about Dion Phaneuf and actress Elisha Cuthbert. Avery’s suspension is an obvious blow to the Dallas Stars’ for which Sean is a forward.

The NHL cites “conduct detrimental to the league or game of hockey.”

So what did Avery say?

Avery reportedly made a comment about the Calgary Flames’ Dion Phaneuf and his former girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert, unprovoked, prior to a recent game between the two teams.

He reportedly approached, asked if a TSN camera was recording, and without fielding a question, said the following:

“I’m really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy s — s. I don’t know what that’s about, but enjoy the game tonight.”

The official statement by the league: “inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game” without reference to which comment it was.

How can the NHL indefinitly suspend a player for trash talk. Its part of the game, thats why kickass fights go down. Its not like the guy pulled a McSorley?
