Above: Elisha Cuthbert (of 24, House of Wax, The Girl Next Door) and Sean Avery of the Dallas Stars hockey Team. They used to be dating, then they broke up, then Elisha found herself another tough’n’strong hockey player, Calgary Flames defense man Dion Phaneu.
Why should we care? Take a look at this dig Avery took at Phaneu and his ex on national television:
For those without time to load videos, Avery said:“I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don’t know what that’s about. Enjoy the game tonight.”Ouch! Sloppy seconds!That line caused the National Hockey League to suspend Avery for “inappropriate public comments.” Sean now has to fly to meet the NHL commissioner for a mea culpa and a discussion of possible further punishment. And what about the guys bros? No help there, says Tom Hicks, owner of the Stars: “I completely support the league’s decision to suspend Sean Avery. Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so.”
Here’s what our response would have been: How is it that hockey players fall in love with your sloppy seconds? After reviewing the evidence:
EVERYONE falls in love with your sloppy seconds.
Dear Sean Avery: the world does not revolve around Sean Avery.
