Avery Won’t Return to Stars… Ever

I guess the Dallas Stars have had enough of Sean Avery. It was announced earlier today that despite Avery’s eligibility to return to the ice, he will be going through more counselling and will not at anytime be returning to Dallas.
Call it Brett Hull saving his own ass if you want (I will be). Hull was responsible for bringing Sean Avery into the fold in Dallas, and took responsibility of casting him off as well. Hull, the co-general manager in Dallas had this to say to the AP;
”We don’t want to ruin Sean or his career. We want him to get better,” Hull said. “The team needs to move on and start winning and he needs to take care of himself. … As a hockey player, I think there’s no question he can be an asset. That said, he’s got to fix the demons he has. It becomes such a huge distraction that it almost takes away from his ability to play the game.”
Yes Brett, those “demons” as you call them took more away than just his ability to play the game; his misogynistic (but not wholly unfunny) comments about “sloppy seconds” will likely cost him any shot in the fashion industry that is largely centered around women.
Get better Sean, and get back on the ice.
