I’m not sure if your post is a coincidence here or what, but this little lady apparently gets around the NHL. Earlier this week, LA King Sean Avery who had once dated this hottie made some comments related to her that got him suspended indefinitely.
From ESPN.COM
DALLAS — Of all the cajoling, snide remarks and other stunts Sean Avery pulled on the way to becoming the biggest pest in hockey, never had he gone so far that the NHL believed it had to suspend him — until Tuesday.
Avery was punished indefinitely by commissioner Gary Bettman for using a crude term about his former girlfriends now dating other hockey players. Bettman acted within hours, in time to keep Avery out of the Dallas Stars’ game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
Avery’s inflammatory line came following a morning skate in Calgary, Alberta. Reporters were waiting to speak with Avery about disparaging remarks he’d made last month about Flames star Jarome Iginla when Avery walked over to the group and asked if there was a camera present. When told there was, he said, "I’m just going to say one thing."
"I’m really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada," the Ontario native said. "I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don’t know what that’s about, but enjoy the game tonight." He then walked out of the locker room.
Avery’s ex-girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert of the television show "24" and the movie "Old School," is dating Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf; she had been romantically linked to Mike Komisarek of the Montreal Canadiens. Avery also dated Rachel Hunter, the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model and actress who is now the girlfriend of Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll.
"My thoughts were that it was a very disrespectful comment, and the league took action and I definitely agree with the way they took action," Phaneuf said after the Flames’ 3-1 loss to the Stars.
Bettman said Avery made "inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game." Bettman and league disciplinarian Colin Campbell will hold a hearing with Avery at 10:30 a.m. ET Thursday in New York before the length of the suspension is determined.
"I completely support the league’s decision to suspend Sean Avery," Stars owner Tom Hicks said in a statement. "Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."
Avery is the kind of player who delights in doing or saying something to get under the skin of opponents and their fans. He’s led the league in penalty minutes twice, and was doing so again going into Tuesday. He’s not only often called the most hated player in the NHL, he loves hearing it.
"I like to push it to the edge, no doubt about it," Avery said this summer, after signing a $15.5 million, four-year deal with the Stars. "That’s how I play. That’s how I live. That’s what I’m all about."
His most infamous tactic came during last season’s playoffs, while with the New York Rangers, when he stood in front of New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur, waving his hand and stick in the goalie’s face to block his view. The next day, the league put in the so-called "Avery Rule" to prohibit such shenanigans.
Avery has been fined by the league and was once suspended by the Los Angeles Kings. Other players have been suspended for retaliating against Avery, including Chicago’s Ben Eager getting a three-game suspension for swinging his stick at Avery. However, this is the first time in his seven-year career that the NHL has taken him off the ice.
"Maybe they decided that this one crossed the line further than all the others," said Stars co-general manager Brett Hull, who played with Avery in Detroit several years ago and was a driving force in signing him.
"More than anything, he’s let his teammates down. That’s the worst part of it," Hull said. "It’s basically a fundamental — you don’t embarrass the team and you carry yourself with class and good character. I’ve told him before, there’s more to the game than just lacing up the skates. There are things you have to be accountable for."
There is no guarantee Avery will be able to repair the damage he caused within the Stars’ dressing room.
"It’s going to take some time," teammate Mike Modano said. "It’s a situation we’ll have to address when that time comes, if it does."
Said Stars goalie Marty Turco: "It’s just so disappointing for guys who have been around here for a long time and have taken a lot of pride in how this organization has been perceived. The disrespect of this morning and other things over the course of the season have been extremely disappointing for us. It’s a slap in the face."
Dallas will play at Edmonton on Wednesday, again without Avery.
"Sean crossed that line," Stars coach Dave Tippett said. "He won’t continue with us on the trip. We’ve always professed that there is nobody that’s ever bigger than our group or bigger than the team.
"Sean said something that just doesn’t paint our organization in a good light, and appropriate steps are being taken."
I will take 3. One size 4, one size 6, and one size 8. Just kidding. That looks like my sister, lol.

Um, I take it back, Ash. If you reduce the image sizes, I won’t be able to print your photos closet-door-size any more. Some photos beg enlargement more than others, so maybe just keep the gratuitously-hot girl ones high-res, okay?
