"Here's a refresher course from page 2, article 2 (e), in which Avery agreed — among other things — "to conduct himself on and off the rink according to the highest standard of honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship, and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the best interest of the Club, the League or professional hockey." ...

Avery suspension could be big one
From The Rink — ... but I would have been fine with a one- or two-game ban and a short trip to the principal's office. I could live with three or four games, and five seems to be pushing the limits. And, yet, minds much more plugged into the league's innerworkings than myself are saying Avery's suspension on Thursday could mean a long, long time on the sidelines for hockey's bad boy. As in, right up there with the longest suspensions in league history. Good grief. Here's Eric Duhatschek: In general, short single-digit suspensions are seen as slaps on ...

Puck Daddy — ... , if that's their choice. Gary Bettman has a choice to make, too; and if that choice is a 10-20 game suspension for Avery, the NHL disciplinary system will be irrevocably rendered absurd. ...

Detroit's veterans have nothing good to say about former teammate
Snapshots — With questions as to whether the Dallas Stars simply terminate Sean Avery's contract swirling, and his own teammates heir utter contempt for his off-ice behaviour in general, the Detroit Red Wings repeatedly weighed in on their former teammate's indiscretions on Wednesday. MLive.com's own Ansar Khan gauged the Wings' opinions , as did Detroit's other beat writers. Chris Osgood told the Detroit News's Dave Dye that the bottom line regarding Avery's suspension is simple: December 4, Detroit News : "There's no room for that in hockey," ...

Avery in breach of his contract?
The Hockey Herald — via Globe and Mail: Here’s a refresher course from page 2, article 2 (e), in which Avery agreed — among other things — “to conduct himself on and off the rink according to the highest standard of honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship, and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the best interest of the Club, the League or professional hockey.” The larger question, though, is did Avery also cross a legal boundary line and if so, could the Stars void that rich payout on the grounds that Avery breached a contract that the two ...

Predictions: How long will the NHL suspend Sean Avery?
Puck Daddy — ... are? One veteran hockey scribe put it this way to me: "In the past if a player has his meeting by phone with the league it's never more than four games, and usually fewer. If they're asked to attend in person, it's more than four." TSN has a poll running where 74 percent of voters are asking for a suspension of more than three games. Eric Duhatschek of the Globe & Mail is a very informed columnist, and offered this prediction: The immediate challenge for Bettman, who was perfectly ...

Wheel of Justice
The Battle of Alberta — Seriously? In general, short single-digit suspensions are seen as slaps on the wrist. This will require a message and usually a message is in the 10-to 20-game range. Oh, good grief. My present position is that, while it often leaves much to be desired, Colin Campbell's Best Judgement is less worse than alternative (more formulaic) schemes for supplementary discipline. But if Sean Avery is suspended for 10 games, I'll have to reconsider. As I argued in the comments to the previous post, I think the NHL's initial ...
