Big mouth Dallas Stars player Sean Avery opened up his trap before playing in Calgary on Tuesday and has now been suspended from the NHL indefinitely. Read what he said to cause the firestorm:
“I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it has become 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.”
It sure didn’t take long for Sean to retract his statement about his ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert.
“I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-color remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary.
I should not have made those comments and I recognize that they were inappropriate. It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were. I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.
I apologize for offending the great fans of NHL, the commissioner, my teammates, my coaching staff and the Dallas Stars management and ownership. As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far.”
We don’t know about you but we think Sean is doing whatever he thinks will get him back in the good graces of the NHL.
