Ayers... Dallas (if I'm not mistaken) 'Enforcer' was suspended for 6 games for telling the press he didn't know why other NHL players insisted on his 'sloppy seconds' referring to Elisha Cuthbert...

Now, as sloppy seconds go, who wouldn't... but why does the NHL think they can penalize a player for non hockey behavior off of the ice... especially a player who's job is to stick it to others... what else do they expect?

Actually, in some ways, considering how much they pay him, i can almost understand it, and in light of, oh, Ricky Williams, TO, Manny Ramirez, & good ol' Plaxico, it's almost admirable, but last I checked even hockey is mostly an American professional sport, & seems to me the Constitution trumps the 'rules' of hockey.

The only penalty he should get is that no woman in her right mind will ever go out with him... lots of anger brewing in those words. But we know that won't happen either, right OJ?
