    No one ever talks about the idiot athletes that do and say stuff that's 10 times worse than what he said. The comment had nothing to do with hawkey and was, at the most, locker room BS.

    Isn't beating the crap outta each other on the ice a little disrespectful?
    You know, if he had just mouthed off to Phaneuf during the game then fine. I wouldn't have had a problem with what he said. I think it was wrong for him to specifically call a camera crew out just to say it. It made no sense for him to even comment on that to a camera crew.
    I think his career is done now. There's talk of the Stars buying him out, and I doubt any team will want to pick him up.

    Does "former Lost Angeles King" mean anything?

    It's all sports and in the grand scheme of things, don't mean anything.

    I have to say that when athletes get shot, shoot people, beat the crap outta people/SOs or get involved with drugs or kill someone when they are DUI-that might be a little more serious than calling out a player over his squeeze.

    I have sat rink/courtside for games and the stuff I have heard players scream at each other is really funny when compared to this.


    hHe did make it a point to tell everyone to enjoy the game........

    Wins and losses are the only thing that count?

    Think again; it appears the Rangers might have him back eek:

    The Rangers have conducted thorough internal discussions regarding the feasibility of bringing Sean Avery back to Broadway and appear to be on the verge of allowing Dallas to send Hockey's Public Enemy No. 1 to Hartford in what would be the first step of the process, The Post has learned.

    The organizational meetings included management personnel, coaches and players. They yielded a consensus that Avery's return to the Rangers New York Rangers is very much worth pursuing and that his injection into the lineup this season would be a constructive move.

    Class will tell

    The owners of the Red Wings continue to amaze me -

    Ilitches give Wings' alums, including Pronovost, Stanley Cup rings
    Posted by George James Malik February 10, 2009 11:32AM

    The Windsor Star's Dave Waddell spoke to New Jersey Devils scout and former Red Wings defenceman Marcel Pronovost about the tremendous gift from Mike and Marian Ilitch recently:

    February 10, Windsor Star: As he worked his way through the packaging, Marcel Pronovost couldn't remember being this curious about a gift since he was a child.

    When he reached the bottom and opened another tiny box, he felt like a kid again too. Staring back at him was a glittering version of the 2008 Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup ring with his name on one side with four extra diamonds symbolizing the quartet of cups he won with Detroit in the 1950s.

    "My reaction was instantly to flashback to those teams," said the 78-year-old Pronovost, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978 after a 21-year playing career and five cups with the Wings and Toronto.

    Pronovost was one of 20 to 30 retired Red Wings to receive a gift last week. The team sent rings to every living Wings' players that won a cup in Detroit prior to their 1997 championship.

    "It was Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch's idea," Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "They're special owners. They wanted to remember our great past. Players from the past didn't receive rings. They wanted to honour them.
    ...
    "When UPS called to see if they could deliver it, they wanted to know if I was a jewelry dealer because of the value of it," said Pronovost, who also got a personal note from the Wings owners along with the ring. "I was really shocked by this. It was a grand gesture and I called Mr. Ilitch to thank him. I was so proud I took it (to the OHL All-Star Game) and showed it to everyone."

    Is that classy or what? I'm floored by this myself.

    The Wings are going to open their 2009-2010 season in Stockholm in October. They will be playing the Blues.

    The tickets sold out in less than one hour. If you didn't get yours, you are out of luck!
