You screw up 20 or 30 times, and you’re labeled for life.

Or as long as the Strib is economically viable and all of us internet friends have a place to congregate.

“unless, of course, you work with Joker.”

I liked the “enjoy the game tonight” comment at the end of Avery’s quote.

Hey, the first one to get with a puck bunny has the right to criticize the players who follow him. That’s the code. And, yes, you can still be called a “puck bunny” if you’re a supermodel or Jack Bauer’s daughter.

And, really, in general how many people are not with someone else’s “sloppy”? You just usually don’t have to see them when doing your job…unless, of course, you work with Joker.

I firmly believe that Sean Avery should be suspended for everything, including breathing.

“Except Avery is a giant toolbox, and Joker is awesome.”

Sorry…just wanted to see that posted again.

I guess I didn’t think what Avery said was that offensive, except to maybe Phaneuf. Do you think he should have been suspended over this? Matt Jones was busted doing lines of Cocaine in his car and he has yet to be suspended by the NFL. Is the NHL the new gestapo?

Chad Ocho Cinco’s reputation has not been tarnished–he’s always been a clownish buffoon.

Well, the sanitized quote was in the SI story: “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 (former girlfriends).”

If you wish to know which term he actually used, instead of “former girlfriends,” you can visit this Urban Dictionary link, which I would warn you is extremely inappropriate and therefore should not be viewed by anyone.
