The last woman to affect the outcome of an NHL contest was former Lightning goalie Manon Rheaume. That all changed this past Tuesday when “24″ star Elisha Cuthbert became a hockey force to be reckoned with. She didn’t strap on pads and step on the ice, nor did she come face to face with a cougar in an awkward arena encounter. All the Canadian starlet had to do was come up in conversation.
In a post practice interview in Calgary, the actress’s ex-boyfriend and noted NHL on-ice agitator Sean Avery made a derogatory comment about the Alberta born beauty, and is now paying the price. The Dallas Stars forward remarked to a reporter how it had become “a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds,” referring to the fact that Cuthbert was now dating Calgary Defensemen Dion Phaneuf. As a direct result of the comment, NHL Commissioner suspended Avery
indefinitely for his sexist remark.
Whether or not Avery makes it out of the penalty box anytime soon, the feisty forward always has his Vogue internship experience to fall back on. In related news, I’ve started training with AHL’s Peoria Rivermen in hopes of having a shot at dirty thirds. She’s pretty.
