Who knew the National Hockey League was so strict???? And lame!
The NHL has suspended Dallas Stars’ winger Sean Avery indefinitely due to some remarks he made before Tuesday’s game agaist the Calgary Flames.
Avery is being suspended for talking smack about the Flames’ Dion Phaneuf.
So, what did he say that caused Avery to get suspended indefinitely? Seems kind of childish to us to penalize someone for shit-talking.
Avery told TSN on camera that, “I am 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 seconds. I don’t know what that’s about. Enjoy the game tonight.”
Burn!!!
Turns out Phaneuf is dating Avery’s ex-girlfriend, some D-list wactress named Elisha Cuthbert. We actually thought his comments were HIGHlarious.
Apparently the league’s suspension is legal under Article 6 of the NHL Constitution. It allows for suspension due to any conduct “detrimental to the League or game of hockey.”
This coming from a game where players are known to knock other player’s teeth out????
Seriously, when did hockey get all uptight?
As for Avery, he’ll be meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman before a final decision is made on his suspension.
What do U think of the NHL’s decision to suspense Avery????
