edmontonsun.com - Sports - Sean Avery suspended by NHL in wake of 'sloppy seconds' statement

WHY DOES THE NHL HATE MEGAN MCCAFFERTY? Apparently, it's now a suspension-worthy offense in ice hockey to joke in front of reporters about other players dating one's "sloppy seconds" -- at least, if you're Sean Avery and your exes are Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter, apparently.

Avery, of course, is also one of the rare athletes to have a rule or infraction named in his honor, in this case because of his screening tactics against Martin Brodeur in last year's playoffs. (See Bill Simmons' partial list here, starting with the Trent Tucker Rule and the Roy Williams penalty.)

[This concludes our hockey-blogging from the 2008-09 season, in all likelihood.]
