Putz.

I read that he commented on TV about how the rest of the NHL is in love with his "sloppy seconds".

What a putz.......I bet SteveR is pissed.

I'm glad they suspended him. The Stars have had a rotten smile around them and it was Avery. I don't think he will be back with the Stars. hicks has already said something about a contract buy out. No one on the Stars team wants him here. Brett Hull has even distanced himself from him. He is a ******. Too bad because he has some hockey skills.

smile = smell

but the stars are pitiful this year!

He is why. Plus all the injuries. Hey they beat Calgary last night 3-1.

He is certainly a douche nozzle. But to suspend him indefinitely for those comments is utterly ridiculous.

The way people are so "upset" by his comments, you'd think they had their faces down there and were personally affected.

I do wish he could have played last night. I bet that would have been one hell of a hockey fight!

He may be "bad for the game" but it sure has a lot of people talking about hockey that normally wouldn't. Hockey could use a little more goonery to make it more interesting to more people.

And more Gordie Howe hat tricks.

#7 ... agreed.

The Stars did say they would have suspended him, if the league didn't. Easy to say after the fact though.

I'm so glad I don't have to listen to Ranger fans defending him any more.

I don't follow hockey much. Seattle hasn't had more than a minor league team for years, although the minor league team in Everett, closer to us and North of Seattle, has been pretty damned good. I had to look this up, however, as so many reports were airing without saying just what he was suspended for. Here it is:

"Uh, I'm really happy to be back in Calgary. I love Canada.

"And 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."

Here is a link to that plus a video clip:

You gotta be kidding me. I agree it was a stupid thing to say, and I'm betting the guy has some history, but suspending him indefinitely for that? I can't see how that reflects on anyone negatively except himself, of course, and perhaps the team...so sit him a game or two, send him home on your own if you must. However, isn't this the league that scrapes up teeth after each game? Isn't this supposed to be at least a slighlt violent sport?

When did the National Hockey League change its name to the Nancy Hop-n-skip League?

^almost seems like the NHL is taking it's cues from the NFL.

^^ I believe it was a 6 game suspension, not indefinite. Funny thing is he has done much worse that should have resulted in longer suspensions.

With luck he will be out of the NHL soon.

So...um...is the rest of the NHL in love with his sloppy seconds?

I mean, are they?

you would know since you are his sloppy seconds....

(it looks like you are crying out for love)

Well, it gives me the opportunity to get knocked-up by another NFL player, and earn a ride on the Gravy Train.

Ya see, I gotta plan...

good for you. its nice to see you making something of yourself

I'm wondering - outside of Sean Avery - who in the NHL I can get to be my baby-daddy?
