It's about Time!
You had to wonder just how long it was going to take the NHL to grow sick and tired of Sean Avery's mouth. For a long time it looked like the NHL was going to secede to the 'any publicity is good publicity' mentality, and let the Dallas Stars motor-mouth hold forth on whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. Thankfully the League did what the Dallas Stars should have done a long time ago, and reigned Avery in.
I'm all for colorful personalities and trash talk, especially if it's witty, but seriously, making remarks about another man's girlfriend to the media is bush-league. This isn't a soap opera, it's a professional hockey league. If Avery wants to tell the media Phaneuf is over-rated, over-payed, etc. then he can knock himself out. But there are certain things that should be off-limits, family being one (ya I know, it was Phaneuf's girlfriend, not his wife, but close enough).

Hey if Elisha Cuthbert is sloppy seconds sign me up! lol
I'm personally a bit surprised that it took this long for Sean to be disciplined by the league. It really sounds like this may be a good thing for the Dallas locker room. Only 10 days or so ago, I said that Dallas would make other changes to try to fix things, and well it seems like Sean Avery helped them to make this change.
