yeah, he even told us to 'enjoy the game'; i mean really

Personally I think Avery is a bigger loser for letting the nice blonde lady get away in the first place then his poor timed comment. :-)

It's all good! It's one of those rare moments where I actually say something worth repeating... :-)

Naw.... I'm pretty sure I would loathe him if he was a Hurricane. :-)

As a big fan of hockey myself I have to say I was disappointed in the way the NHL handled this. Having read all the posts before mine I do understand your points guys but I still think it was too heavy handed on the NHL's part.

Is Avery a classless a-hole... yup, should he have been penalized by the league for his comment to the media, IMO no. While you are held to a certain standard in regards to your conduct as an athlete I don't believe the league should have stepped in on a trash-talking incident. Whether it was in the media or not.

Minus the drugs and the crap that happens off ice, these are some of the reasons that people love playing and watching hockey.

If Sean Avery could shoot the puck half as good as he can shoot his mouth he would be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame.

From the looks of the picture below, most anyone would be happy with a chance to put the biscut in the basket, be it firsts, seconds, or thirds... :-)

:-)ding ding ding....we have a winner!

and Al said 'nice blonde lady'

Is this who he was talking about?Here in Dallas thats all the sports radio stations are talking about. Sounds like the Stars organization and his teammates are already tired of his act.
[Reply]

Yep.

That's fine send him to New York. I will be his handler for and even million per year and all will be good with the world.

I can't even watch TV with my daughter when she watches "Popular Mechanics for Kids" because you see Elisha like this....

Having said that.... Avery is a goon. This kind of stuff is not required.
[Reply]

Exactly!

Well, let's see here....

How's that saying go again???

Doesn't matter HOW beautiful she might be....there is someone out there who is SICK AND F*CKING TIRED OF HER A$$

does THAT ring a bell???

Nope. I'm never so crass. :-)

Avery sought out the media, and asked if the cameras were on, before making his statement.

He is a clown and an embarrasament to the NHL. The fact that two of his superstar teammates, Modano and Turco, who have more talent in their pinkies than Avery has in his whole body. spoke out against his antics speaks volumes. :-)
[Reply]

Agreed:-)

Was it right or was it wrong? I personally don't believe he said anything that really wasn't true. All in all, Elisha is really nothing more than a highly paid groupie who happens to be in the public spotlight. She's bouncing in and outta beds like a superball. He just called it like it was. Was it classless. Yeah, but sometimes the truth is. Did it need the NHL to get involved? Nope, he didn't say anything that was racial or any of the 7 words you shouldn't say on TV. What would George Carlin say about this?

Something else that gets me is this whole role model crap. Professional Athletes shouldn't be role models anyway. If kids are watching sports to get their leadership skills that's where the big problem is.

Avery gets six games. Much worse has been done in the league for much less time. Not sayin he was right at all, just sayin.
[Reply]

Doesn't sound like the players nor the coach want him back. The players refused when he asked to address them personally with an apology. Modano, several other players and the head coach continue to express their doubts in the media.

What does Avery care....he gets paid either way. Hope no other NHL team takes a chance on this head case.
[Reply]

So you think 6 games is fair Tom?
