Phaneufed Update

by Ryan

Here's the video of Sean Avery's comments, with some help from 289 in the Bfloblog comments. (By the way, the post itself is the best way I saw the Rodgers death handled.)



I agree with 289, now that I see the intent he had I completely agree with the suspension, at least for the game that night. Having him out there would have got ugly fast. It's good to see the Stars overcame all the Avery garbage and played well. We will see how long the suspension lasts, but based on how the Stars ownership acted I don't think they will mind if it's lengthy.

Phaneufed?

You had to laugh a little when you heard it.

"I'm really happy to be back in Calgary. I love Canada," Avery said in front of cameras. "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 sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight."

I'd love to know the context this came from, but either way I think suspending him was a bit surprising. It's not often the NHL acts that quickly on much of anything. Then again, Mike Peca was suspended ten games earlier this year for something I still haven't seen, so who knows?

Overall it's probably a good idea to take care of this before things escalate, but what do you think? Is this something the league needs more of, or is anything Sean Avery does a waste of oxygen? Do you even care?
