What the hell is the NHL doing? Suspending Avery INDEFINITELY for his comments about an ex and sloppy seconds. Yes I know it was insensitive but suspending him a night I think was a little bit over board but now it is way over the top. For a league that allows goons and fighting to worry about these comments.

I think the league has just had enough of the off ice stuff with him. Dallas owner said he would have suspended him anyways. Many think he won't play again for Dallas, they don't tolerate that kind of stuff. Agitator on the ice, yes but off the ice no.

He asked for the camera and to make that comment. So I think that made things a little worse for him, no one was asking him about it at all. And if he used the word "ex-girlfriends" rather than "sloppy seconds" I think he would have played last night and tonight.

brings really bad publicity to the league and they have rules against that kinda stuff, yeah not a big deal for me and you but when its played on the news for families no choice but to puinish. And again who cares about sean avery he sucks anyway!

1 game is enough... Who was it that played last year who referred to a black NHL player to a monkey and never was suspended. I will try to find this

Oh geez, the player that did this was Avery in 2005 when he was with the Kings. He was referring to Georges Laraque but I guess it was never proven to suspend him.. What a dink but I think the suspension is a little steep.

Plus families hear far worse than "sloppy seconds" on TV all the time
