Sean Avery Banned for Six Games

Our boy Sean Avery has been banned from NHL play for six games following his now infamous “sloppy seconds” comment directed at Calgary Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf, who is dating Avery’s ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert.

While the suspension means he could be back on the ice in just over a week, insiders say the Dallas Stars don’t appear to want him back.

We said it before, we’ll say it again; Sean is a no-holds-barred, in-your-face, first-punch-throwing, stick-waving, trash-talking, bad mo-fo whose career is largely based on his reputation as the best agitator and most hated player in the NHL.

That’s what Dallas paid $15.5 million over four years for.

To balk now seems disingenuous. If they wanted Martha Stewart on skates, they shouldn’t have hired Avery.
