Sean Avery is an embarassment to the NHL! He's a goon, a jerk and a bigot. He's embarassed himself many times through his actions and his words. His commment about french players and visors, very classy. His comment to

Let me guess. You are a visor wearing Frenchie who wishes he could have Sean Avery's sloppy thirds?

He is not an embarrasment to the NHL. They do just fine embarassing themselves. He is not a goon. He is probably a jerk and likely a bigot. Sloppy seconds comment was hilarious and he should not have been suspended for them. This is a case where the NHL embarassed themselves. The screening of Brodeur was completely legal and the NHL changed the rule mid stream. Another embarassement by the NHL. Iginla and Clark have no personality. Inginla is just a yes man. Avery brings attention to the NHL and that is what the NHL needs.

The NHL needs pests (like Avery) like the PGA tour needs John Daly. There are supporters for everybody. I think Iggy has done great things for his team and he's being smothered by the Sutter familia. Wendell Clark has maybe lost a step?

Regarding the guys actual choices. Gretzky and Mickelson . . . certainly not my choices as people, if the question is "who's life would you like to be dropped into, while bringing along your current wife and family" then either of their lives would do just fine.
