UPDATE: here's the video
-------------------------
Canadian hockey player Sean Avery was suspended indefinitely by the NHL pending a hearing with officials on rude remarks he made to the press ahead of a game. Avery, 28, plays for the Dallas Stars and was dating fellow Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert, 26, for about two years up until the summer of 2007. Cuthbert is now seeing hockey player Dion Phaneuf of the Calgary Flames. The Stars were set to play the Flames yesterday in Calgary, and Avery decided to make a public remark about his ex girlfriend dating a member of the opposing team, calling her "sloppy seconds." He was cut from the game and suspended as a result:
For the record, Avery - unsolicited - stepped in front of a bank of microphones in the visitors' dressing room yesterday morning and said: "I'm 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, but enjoy the game tonight."
And with that, Avery walked away.
Phaneuf is now dating Cuthbert, Avery's former girlfriend, who was also once romantically linked to Mike Komisarek of the Montreal Canadiens.
Previously, Avery was involved with actress Rachel Hunter, now the girlfriend of former Edmonton Oilers centre Jarrett Stoll, who now plays for the Los Angeles Kings.
Avery speaking at all was something of a surprise. He has been picking his spots this year, willing to sit down for some media organizations (ESPN), but not others. He didn't do interviews in New York, upon his return to play his former team, the Rangers. He didn't speak in New Jersey, where the last time through town, he called Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur a "fatso."
Presumably, Avery's comments also embarrassed his coach, Dave Tippett, who went to extraordinary lengths to defend his player just before Avery shot off his mouth.
[From The Globe and Mail]
The Stars went on to beat The Flames without Avery, 3-1. Avery has a four year free agent contract worth $15.5 million, and the Dallas Stars may attempt to kick him out of his contract after he so publicly embarrassed them.
I wonder if Cuthbert is mortified at being called "sloppy seconds" or if she's more ashamed to have ever dated that jerk in the first place. Avery has also dated Lake Bell, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Rachel Hunter so at least she's in good company.

What a jerk. That comment says so much more about him than it does about her. And since he's dating Rod Stewart's exhe really, really doesn't have much room to talk, does he?
He's an obvious loser.

They are sloppy seconds, HOLLYWOOD in general is actually like sloppy ninths and tenths, depending on the individual, their respective age and their duration in bizarro-world.

@Mel: because the latter isn't hockey
and Nicole, Wendel Clark was a pretty class act. There's more but he comes to mind first, oh and then Borje Salming, Darryl Sittler and Mats Sundin. My Leafs' bias is showing 
Gary Roberts too!!

I responded to Mel whose post is no longer showing. S/he said hockey players pounding each other to a bloody pulp is okay but calling someone a 'sl*t' isn't?

I thought what the NHL did was the most silly thing. I mean this is hockey where guys beat each other up at every game. A few words from some guy being bitchy about an ex? Like we all haven't done that before, ragged about sloppy seconds and thirds? He's only speaking the truth. The game would have been rather exciting with all the Flames beating up on Avery and his teammates doing nothing. But of course the NHL took the easy way out. Pffft. Lame-o NHL and good on Avery for telling it like it is in the NHL.

I don't know who he is and I don't watch hockey.
What right do they have to suspend a man for opening his mouth.
So what if he's an ass? A-Rod is a tool and Shaq's a quack but they are there to play the sport. Not to have a sense of what is prpoer behavior. Let's be honest this is hocket not, say dressage.
It may not have been a very adult thing to say but since when can you suspend an athlete for being immature?

You can suspend a player for being a dick? I mean, it's not like he said something super offensive like the n-word. Imagine if professional boxers were banned for trash talking!

I don't see why the NHL has to step in and suspend the guy. He's a jerk, yes. Let him portray himself as a jerk. His job is to show up and play, not to be Mr. Congeniality. He has freedom of speech and can say whatever he wants. If there's a microphone set up on the street, couldn't any passerby go up to it and say whatever they want? So why not just let him speak his mind? His true nature shows that he is a jerk and the NHL's stepping in is just silly.

Oh, I'm sure the ladies will be lining up outside his door regardless of what he says. He's rich and famous, and that's usually all it takes.
His face looks like it's been busted and reassembled many times over. Ick.

Honestly, it isn't just the comment that Sean Averys being suspended for.
He's a player known to cause trouble. He gets suspended alot for fighting, really just think Bash Brother from Mighty Ducks.I'm sure they look for any reason they can find to get him off of the ice so that he can't cause more trouble.

"What right do they have to suspend a man for opening his mouth"
They have every right to, if he signed a contract that compels him to comport himself in a particular manner. I would suspect that saying vile things about an ex girlfriend (or about any woman) falls into that category.

What's a hockey game if there isn't blood on the ice?
I get that he's a trouble-maker, but sometimes things are best left resolved with a hard body check and a good ol' fashioned bare knuckle brawl. I mean, the guy's made no qualms about being an attention craving dickfor, why not turn it into entertainment value?

Sean Avery is an embarrasment to Canadian hockey players.
He should be thanking the NHL for the suspension.
You could pick anyone of 5-6 players on the Flames that would have loved to play him last night after his trashy comments.
As usual he should keep his head up and not forget that karma is bitch.just like him!

amy, it may not be the "n" word, but it's just as derogatory to women players beating eachother up is on them they chose to be part of the game why he would bring someone who has nothing to do with why people are there is childish and immature and he definitely needs to be taught a lesson

Someone has already 'edited' his Wikipedia page.

And the fact is lots of attractive hollywood types will still date him.
Because of his status and his money.

The best statement on this whole thing is from D Listed, "You can knock out a bitch's tooth out with your head, but you can't slag off a C-list actress! The NHL is only filled with the finest gentlemanly gentlemen!"

No wonder they broke up. I used to live in Denver when Peter Forsberg played and served him at the restaurant where I was employed. He was the epitomy of a class act. Such a fine human being, and gorgeous to boot.

we all know how you present yourself and what you say has consequences obviously, one wouldn't expect to go to an interview and spout out "what's up bitch" wearing dirty clothes and expect to get a job freedom of speech doesn't mean that you can't have priveleges taken away cuz you're an idiot
