How in the world could Sharks fans let this happen? You should be ashamed of yourselves.]

[Editor's Note]: Sharks has his take on the Sean Avery debacle. If you missed it, Sean Avery was suspended earlier this week before Dallas' game against Calgary. I don't necessarily agree with all his points, but felt it was noteworthy enough to put on the front page.

Alright I know this topic has been hammered to death but I just had to get my two cents in. As we all know Sean Avery is a massive idiot, this is really not news. Getting suspended for being a moron isn't something we should be surprised about. What surprised me were some of the reactions I saw to this whole thing.

First off however, my opinion on the comment/suspension: The suspension in my mind was completely justified. If you disagree, personally I really don't have all that much a problem with that, and I can see where someone with the opinion that a fine would have been more appropriate is coming from 100%. However what did you expect the league to do? Sit on it's hands and hit him with a little fine later on? Doubtful that would get any kind of message across. Yeah I would have loved to see the fights or the hit where Avery got his clock cleaned, but It reminds me of how the NFL started putting restrictions on TD dances, sure you love to see them but I completely agree with the way the No Fun League handled it (I like all the TD celebrations except the ones where guys prance around like faeries...but that's another topic for another blog for another day). So for that reason I'm pretty ok with the suspension. Had they not suspended him, well I wouldn't have been all that pissed about that either. Also it's not like the NHL can keep Avery from playing against Phaneuf forever.

If these are indeed the black alternate jerseys then I like the simplicity of them, too often you see pro teams try and get fancy and make jerseys that look like a 4-yr old designed them splashing colors all over the place. Not sure I'd call them "armor" or anything dumb like that, but what ev...

Wow, how unfair is this. Fired only 4 games into the season, talk about a small sample size. The Blackhawks record was 1-2-1, really could have been much worse. The first loss, on the road by the way, was against a Rangers team which so far is one of the better teams in the league. The second was against the Capitols on the road, another team first in their division. The third game was an OTL which means the game could have gone either way. And the fourth was a win vs. the Coyotes.

Sure the home loss to Nashville is a tough one, but come on can you really blame the coach? I guess the Blackhawks went crazy-insane on hyping the team before the year, but you can't blame that on the coach. I also heard soupy isn't turning out to be worth the money it took to sign him away from the Sharks.

Regardless 4 games isn't near enough time to justify firing somebody. It looks like he possibly was on a short leash to begin with, so why even start the season with him? Poor form. Keep an eye on this team, I bet they struggle for a little while to begin the year being in such disarray. That said, look out for them to surge late.

Oh and since the trend is to post a poll and I'm one of those guys who follows everything everyone else does I have to add one right? You all going to jump off a cliff later? If so count me in.
