From The Rink —
And the wheel o' justice says...

Six is a bit much given the offence, but there's no question Avery's gotten off sans punishment for an awful lot of nonsense over the years. My guess is he'll be staying out of the limelight for the near future.

Trying to maim someone on the ice with a vicious hit from behind? 2-3 games, tops. Making an inappropriate comment about an ex-girlfriend while being Sean Avery? 6 games. Giving FHF another lame excuse to post hot chicks? Priceless.

Waiting For Stanley —
5 games for insulting a hollywood celebrity and 1 for hurting Dion Phaneuf's feelings. I kid. Avery must have put on some serious acting skills (maybe even showing some tears). From TSN: Avery also agreed to seek professional anger-management evaluation and, if necessary, structured counseling in light of his pattern of behavior, which the NHL has deemed unacceptable and antisocial behavior.

Sean Avery gets a 6 game suspension from the NHL, although it appears that the Dallas Stars are looking to banish him for much longer . Although they might have trouble burying him in the minor leagues . Enough about Avery. The last couple of years in New York he was a decent player, but his sideshow tactics have more than eliminated that. Now he is a marginal player, and worse yet, a terrible teammate. He is exactly what he has portrayed himself to be: a low class embarrassment. Congrats to Elias, Clemmensen Patrik Elias scored at 2:46 of overtime to give the Devils a 3-2 win at Philadelphia.
