DALLAS (AP)—The NHL suspended Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery indefinitely Tuesday for making a crude reference to former girlfriends while talking with reporters.


Avery’s inflammatory comments came following a morning skate in Calgary, Alberta, where the Stars were to play the Flames on Tuesday night. He approached a group of reporters, asked if a camera was present, then said he wanted to say one thing: “I’m really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada,” he said. “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 (former girlfriends).”


He used a crass term to refer to ex-girlfriends now dating other people."












What was the term he used?

I still laugh when watching a hockey game and someone gets called for unsportsmanlike conduct. It's amazing what passes as sportsman-like in the NHL. And to think they're upset about this.

Unless there is a lot more to this, it really does seem like a big pissy fit over basically nothing.

This sounds like something the NFL would do to a player for calling a ref an idiot after blatantly blowing a call.

NHL suspended him to protect him and the NHL. He would've gotten hit hard like Bertuzzi hit that guy a few years back and nearly killed him. NHL doesn't want any lawsuits, they can't afford it since nobody watches hockey.

I can't believe Elisha Cuthbert went out with Avery. He is a major league too. Here is a good reason to post a pic of her.
