The NHL has suspended Stars forward Sean Avery for comments "detrimental to the League or game of hockey." The comments were aimed towards Calgary defenceman Dion Phaneuf and his girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert. Avery approached cameras and randomly made the comments using the term "sloppy seconds" to refer to his ex-girlfriend. (Video of comments posted below)
Avery also made comments earlier this season about Flames Star Jarome Iginla calling him "boring". After those comments, there was much anticipation for tonight's matchup between the two teams but now that Avery has been suspended, he will not face the Calgary players.
The NHL, while trying to discipline Avery is perhaps trying to avoid an on-ice incident. The length of the suspension is unknown at the moment.
