			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thebiglead.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/elisha_cuthbert.jpg"><img class="alignleft" src="http://thebiglead.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/elisha_cuthbert.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="478" /></a><strong>Sean Avery</strong> was suspended six games  for a <a href="http://www.zagsblog.com/2008/12/03/sean-avery-his-sloppy-seconds/">crude comment he made regarding the lovely <strong>Elisha Cuthbert,</strong> his ex-girlfriend who is dating Calgary Flames defenseman <strong>Dion Phaneuf</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
<p>His coaches and teammates with the Dallas Stars don&#8217;t want him back.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s always on the edge, certainly, on the ice, which no one really has an issue with,&#8221; forward <strong>Mike Modano</strong> told the AP. &#8220;But when it becomes public and it becomes off-ice situations, that&#8217;s when you have a problem with it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Avery already has served two of the six games and will eligible to return Dec. 16 against Phoenix.<span id="more-8265"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;We needed to be clear that this was the type of conduct that we did not view was acceptable and not representative of what our players do,&#8221; NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said.</p>
<p>Avery also agreed to be evaluated for anger management — a requirement for his return. The league cited his &#8220;pattern of unacceptable and anti-social behavior.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He looked me in the eye and said, &#8216;I need help,&#8217;&#8221; Stars general manager <strong>Brett Hull</strong> said from Dallas. &#8220;It was brought up by him.&#8221;</p>
<p>(The AP contributed)</p>

<p>&#8220;We hope it&#8217;s the last time we ever see him,&#8221;  one veteran <a href="http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/james_duthie/?id=258309">told James Duthie of TSN</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our locker room is the happiest it has been all year right now,&#8221; says another player.</p>
<p>&#8220;An apology (to the team) won&#8217;t work,&#8221; says a third player.  &#8220;There isn&#8217;t much he can say to change the way we feel right now.  We have a lot of pride in this organization.  He isn&#8217;t welcome here anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>Avery has been suspended indefinitely by NHL Commissioner <strong>Gary Bettman</strong> for some <a href="http://www.zagsblog.com/2008/12/03/sean-avery-his-sloppy-seconds/">highly inappropriate comments he made about his ex-girlfriend</a>, the Canadian born actress <strong>Elisha Cuthbert</strong> who is currently dating Calgary Flames defenceman <strong>Dion Phaneuf.</strong><span id="more-8198"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t made a decision yet,&#8221; Bettman added on his XM Radio program on Thursday afternoon. &#8220;I want to take the opportunity to spend a little time thinking about what transpired at the hearing and everything that I was told and that needs to be considered. And I want to reflect on it, which means that either sometime later this afternoon or tomorrow morning we will render a decision and I will make it public.&#8221;</p>
