“Sloppy Seconds” - So What?

Elish Cuthbert, doesn't Look Sloppy to me!

Sean Avery is not known for being a class act. But he succeed in lowering the bar on Monday after playing a great game in Calgary. He had a bone to pick with Calgary Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf and his relationship with his Ex-girlfriend, the smoking hot Elisha Cuthbert. Avery apparently lied to his coach, saying he wasn’t going to talk to the media, but then he called reporters and made a statement, “I just want to comment on how it’s becoming like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds,” then he walks away after saying this rehearsed line and not answering any questions about it. Below is a clip of Avery bringing NHL hockey to a new low with his “sloppy seconds”.

I don’t think many NHL fans are shocked by this language, we hear worse from the players on the ice when the microphone picks up a too much, we hear worse from Don Cherry, and we love it! But nevertheless the NHL suspended Avery for “inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game.”

What do you think, was this justified or was it a sloppy suspension?
