Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 Cause if you... yeah i would like to see one aspect of her that brings ANYTHING to the sport of hockey other than she is an attractive young lady with now nice endowments and linked to some hockey players... The "ANYTHING" that she brings to the sport of hockey is exposure. I've never denied that her looks help her in this capacity (you'll notice I've mentioned her looks at least twice already in this thread). That doesn't mean I think "SHOW US YR ****" is of any worth in this conversation. But GOOD JOB N-E-WAY DOOD! Bottom line is that you've made a ridiculous stance on this issue, and no one is going to agree with you. The league doesn't need Cuthbert in any way, and you should just admit it. I never said the league "needs" Elisha Cuthbert. Here's a radical new idea, folks: stop being meat heads and read my posts carefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sorry i don't speak your net language... does not compute.... cum again? <--- thats what she said!! Avery brings that same exposure that she does to the game... people are talking about him... actually talking about him BEFORE he used the most evil world possible to describe someone.

theman19 47 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 it's the villains that bring people who could care less about hockey to watch a game. I'll say this, i bet money that if avery ever gets reinstated, the next time they play the flames becomes one of the highest rated games of the last few years.

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted December 8, 2008 ESPN reports that since Avery's sentencing, no one NEW to the sport (literally no one) has been following hockey. On the day that Avery's six-game suspension was enacted, one NHL official, who wished to remain anonymous, lamented the loss of the NHL's biggest, brightest star, saying, "This will be the death of the NHL. Mark my words." There Dab, I fixed it for you. The argument wasn't that suspending Avery would doom the NHL. The argument was that suspending him suspended any hopes of people maybe wanting to watch that game/watch the NHL that don't normally do so. Unless you find me a poll that shows non hockey fans are now more inclined to watch hockey due to the league taking the moral high ground on this then shut yer trap already.

Louisville 112 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 http://www.nhl.com/blogcentral/cuthbert_dec.html As I read this, I was reminded of a girl I once knew who would respond to me in one long incohesive sentence. Also, whoever it was that suggested that because of Avery's comments we run the risk of losing her as a marketing tool is an idiot. She seems to really love hockey. BUT OH NO "SLOPPY SECONDS!"

No you didn't, but you are the one who suggested that the league shouldn't "burn the bridge" that is Elisha Cuthbert. So with Avery's comments we somehow run the risk of doing that? And by not suspending him the league runs the risk of doing that? And if they do, is it really all that bad? That's hard to believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 One last thing before I go, Eric Belanger's name is not burger. I was sad to see when he played in Montreal of all places that his French Canadian name was spelt wrong. Don't worry Belanger, I know your name and I noticed. Not to mention you're playing great this year. I don't know what you're doing different -- LOL -- but it seems to be working!!! Wow, just wow.

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted December 9, 2008 Ok, so thus far it appears the Stars want no part of Avery. And apparently the Manitoba Moose have gone public and said they would not welcome him. So, if the Avery haters can put their hatred aside for just one second and be objective about this..... If Avery is in effect black balled out of the league and all of professional hockey for this off the ice, lewd comment. Is that a justifiable punishment? To effectively end his playing career? In a league where Chris Simon is allowed to keep playing, where Todd Bertuzzi nearly kills someone on the ice and is allowed to keep playing, in a league where players like McCarty, Mark Bell, Patrick Roy, etc...have battled alcoholism, drugs, abuse, been arrested, etc...... In a league where worse things than this Avery episode have occurred both on and off the ice, is it going too far if this guy loses his livelihood forever? I think this s*** has gotten way out of hand. And whereas I don't particularly care for Avery, I think it'd be an injustice for him to lose his way of life b/c of this considering what other players have done. And no, this has nothing to do with the culmination of episodes throughout his career b/c up until "sloppy seconds" he had never been suspended and for the most part had never been in trouble. He'd run his mouth before yes, but nobody ever called for his banishment from the league. Which is what he may be looking at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) To answer the last post (a far more intelligent one than the previous handful), Sean Avery is not black-balled from the league. He's only suspended for 6 games, is he not? I don't see how that's banishment. It's clear he is just from the Stars organization. Just like the Bertuzzi's, or Terrell Owens', yes he can play elsewhere, but teams and their coaches/managers will end up, just like the Bert/Owens situations, weighing whether or not it's a good thing for their locker room and if the risk is too high. I'm not convinced some other team will sign him, and right now I think the Stars would be stupid to do anything but trade him -- i.e. it would be dumb for them to just eat several million in salary cap space with no player on the ice in return.

Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 Sounds as though he'll be traded - that is if there's any takers. Who's going to take him at $4M/year? Don't forget the recommended anger mgt, & psychological help that he needs When did our society get so thin skinned? I agree, it's really f***ed up that comments about sexuality rank way worse than promoting violence or even acting violently. It's the same thing when I watch prime time TV, you can show someone getting killed but god forbid there is ever nudity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim 5 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 The Stars could waive Avery... if he goes unclaimed, I'm pretty sure his cap hit is recouped. but the Stars would still be on the hook for his contract. I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep if the guy was, in essense, earning all those millions just to keep his trap shut in the minors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted December 9, 2008 Who's going to take him at $4M/year? Stars would eat some of it if a team thinks it's too much. I agree, it's really f***ed up that comments about sexuality rank way worse than promoting violence or even acting violently. It's the same thing when I watch prime time TV, you can show someone getting killed but god forbid there is ever nudity. It's all about PR. Just like if people here were going to other LG forums and smearing this forum's name, they'd get punished, Avery is getting punished for smearing the NHL and his organization. His teammates were clearly embarrassed, and it's one of those things where he clearly intended on it getting out there. The NHL is entertainment on the ice, and promoting the players, not promoting s*** talking between the private life and affairs of players like it's the WWE. I'm pretty sad that Avery only got his cheesy suspension and not a year long ban to set an example, as unfortunate of an overreaction as it would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
