Indefinite suspension sounds pretty harsh. Oh well.

This is the league that is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the movie “Slapshot” and they suspend a player for making a comment about his ex. Two games for almost killing the Bruins’ Bergeron. But talking, whoa!

Avery is Avery, he's gritty and grating, and great to have on your side.

A crude remark, but nothing to do with the game, hey, he didn't shoot himself in the leg with an unliscensed weapon!

Goons like Jarrko Ruutu of Ottawa are given one game for headhunting with intent to injure (if that), and he gets suspended for an off-ice remark?

Bettman is and always will be a JERK, Avery is still being punished because he upset Brodeur last year (remember the "Avery Rule" that was added without precedence at the time.

Ah well, we need a break from the politics sometimes, and Avery is getting as screwed by Bettman, and the Dallas Stars, as Coleman is getting screwed by the "recount" and the unfunny lunatic he's running against.
