Commissioner Gary Bettman suspended Avery indefinitely Tuesday hours after the Dallas Stars pest made "inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game." Avery will meet with Bettman before his punishment is settled. That get-together is likely to happen soon.
Avery's inflammatory comments came following a morning skate in Calgary, where the Stars were playing the Flames on Tuesday night.
Avery approached a group of reporters, asked if a camera was present, then said he wanted to say one thing.
"I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada," he said. "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. Enjoy the game tonight."
Avery's ex-girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert, is dating Calgary defensman Dion Phaneuf ((both pictured, thanks hockeybeat.com)) and had been romantically linked to Mike Komisarek of the Montreal Canadiens. Avery also dated model and actress Rachel Hunter, the girlfriend of Los Angeles Kings center Jarrett Stoll.
All we have to say is: We know Avery is a loudmouth. He's prone to pop off and say things like that. We think it's typical-Avery behavior and not a susrprise.But "Suspended indefinitely...?"
Get over thyself...
For the record... here's the comments... judge for yourself...
