The Morning Skate: The Self-Destruction of Sean Avery
Slap Shot —
There was a time when hockey players were known as the classiest of all professional athletes. They conducted themselves as gentlemen in public and were proud to do so. They extended themselves to help promote a sport and the profession that was their livelihood. They recognized that among similar businesses, hockey lagged behind the others in popularity in the U.S. and they weren’t going to do anything to bring into disrepute a game that was already greatly misunderstood. The well being of hockey as a whole was foremost in their minds. But it’s important not to live in the past. Things change. Perhaps through the combination of social trends that emphasize the ...
Stupid Sean Avery Remark Does Not Deserve Suspension
Walker Sports —
Okay, so I am not a Sean Avery fan by any means. As a Caps fan, I remember his days as a Ranger all too well. That being said, I am a fan of free speech. What Avery said, was stupid and sounds like something a moronic frat boy would say. However, the NHL has no authority to step in and quiet him. For once I am actually ...
The Suspension of Sean Avery
The Sidney Crosby Show —
Many of you already know how I feel about Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery. After all, his nickname on this site is IFHSA™, which stands for "I F*#@!ing Hate Sean Avery." So it may come as a shock to you that I think his indefinite suspension for a "detrimental" comment ...

NHL gives Sean Avery six-game suspension, and its context
Puck Daddy —
So moments after we posted why women aren't offended by Sean Avery's remarks, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman revealed how offended he was by Avery's actions, giving the Dallas Stars pest a six-game suspension without pay for his comments in Calgary on Tuesday. From the NHL: 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. Avery will not be eligible to play again for the Stars until Dec. 16, when Dallas hosts the Phoenix Coyotes. He has ...

Oh snap! This is my 100th post and I have to, just have to come with my A game on this one, especially since I took the Thanksgiving holiday (and the last two weeks lol) off from posting on this thing.

True or False: Kobe Subscribes to a 24/7 Live Feed of Paul Pierce's Life
Or, at the very least, he watches Celtics games with a particular bias (Thanks to FanHouse for the link). Rivalries are awesome, and players watching other teams and palyers is awesome. Frankly, I've always been kind of turned off by those that aren't aware of what players are tearing up the league and which teams are on fire. I'm sure that there are plenty of miserable NBAers, sticking around for the coin and lack of an alternative. But in my likely naive, hopeful mind, I'd ...

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.” --Thomas Huxley From L.A. to Long Island to Moose Jaw, there are people all over the hockey world that are dealing with rebuilding projects. There is an interesting aspect to following a team that is internally setting the building blocks for future success. There are points ...
Stars Sloppy Seconds A Ranger Again?!? [The New NHL]
We Eat Children —
Previous Post: Thank-You Oilers [The New NHL] Stars Sloppy Seconds A Ranger Again?!? [The New NHL] By Kelsey Hipkin Word on the street today that NHL bad boy Sean Avery may be piquing the interest of his old team the New York Rangers. SAY WHAT? Read here about a Rangers meeting discussing whether or not it would be “beneficial” to bring Avery to the team. Maybe the anger management classes have helped Avery with his goon status and he will play some decent hockey. Maybe not. In picking up Avery the Rangers could be holding a grenade after the pin has been pulled, how long can you hold on before it blows? Let’s take a look ...

Scott Burnside over at ESPN (that makes it sound like we're acquainted, far, far from it) wrote a piece around the All-Star break on the most memorable story lines of the season thus far. Naturally we have Sean Avery, Mats Sundin, Phoenix can't afford anything, The entire debacle that is the Tampa Bay Lightning, etc. I figured, hey, you know, funny shit has occurred in the NHL too. Now these won't be in chronological order, because frankly, I don't care. So here's the funniest nonsense we've seen in the league this year. ...

All Around the Net, by Michael Pueschel Proof that Sean Avery is a major moron. Would you dump Elisha Cuthbert? Everyone’s favorite agitator, Sean Avery is back from his suspension and on the road back to N.H.L in of all places, Hartford, Connecticut.

Top 10 Dirtiest NHL Players
The Hockey Writers —
All NHL players have one thing in common; toughness. Competing in a sport where danger awaits every corner in a matter of seconds isn’t for the weak in heart. The NHL’s speed keeps the players on full alert because the slightest ignorance leads to a painful lesson.
There’s no denying that a full season with or without the playoffs puts the body through enormous tests. During that time, each individual will likely run into a player who can put them on the injured reserve well before the final weeks of the year with their tactics.
A hit from behind here, a high stick there is just the start. This batch of dirty players doesn’t seem content on ...
